My third book my this author and I’ve loved them all! Every one I’ve read by this author has shocked me, gripped me and had me glued to the book BUT each one has the most irritating and unlikeable characters who frustrate me so much but I think that adds to the immersion of the book!

My first Nicole Trope book… but definitely not my last.

Amanda escapes her abusive husband and moves into a rental on a quiet cul-de-sac with her two kids. She’s constantly on edge, fearing he’ll track her down. At first, the neighbors seem warm and welcoming—complete with a homemade cake—but their kindness fades when Amanda’s son proves to be a little too loud and disruptive. When he suddenly goes missing, the question becomes: Who’s responsible? Did Amanda leave one nightmare only to stumble into another?

It’s tough to pick a favorite character without giving too much away, but let’s just say the plot twist got me—especially Gemma. I didn’t see that last part coming at all.

This was a fast-paced, gripping thriller—I flew through it in a day. I’ll definitely be checking out more of Nicole Trope’s work.

Big thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. Welcome to West Street by Nicole Trope releases on April 22, 2025—add it to your TBR!

Moving ... People do it for different reasons. Sometimes it's because it's easier for your job, sometimes it's because you found your dream home and sometimes it's because you run away from nasty things and want to start a new life.

Amada hopes to put an end to a horrible period in her life in this neighborhood and this seems to work when she is immediately welcomed by the neighbor from across the street. But it doesn't really go the way she imagined it.

Why did she choose this neighborhood and who are her neighbors?

The author masterfully weaves the different perspectives together. As a reader you are fascinated waiting for all the secrets of all characters to be exposed.

The writing style is compelling and you will be taken into the darkest corners of the story.

The deeper you get into the finale of the story, the more your mouth will fall open. I had someone in my sights, but there were things I hadn't seen coming.

So you see again that you never know who lives next to you and what they have to hide.

Another great book by this author. 5 stars

Thank you

As usual, Nicole Trope entertained! Great book....crazy storyline, that I loved. No big surprises, other than this book went in a totally different direction than I expected.
Thank to netgalley, the publisher and Nicole for the chance to read this ARC.

Welcome to West Street is a fast-paced domestic thriller with non-stop action, well developed characters, and a story that unfolds at a deliberate pace to its explosive conclusion! There is no such thing as a coincidence in Nicole Trope's world!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

Many thanks to netgalley, the author and bookouture for approving my request to read this book.

I enjoyed this domestic thriller in which we meet Amanda and her two children who are making a fresh start but is everything really as it seems in West Street?

Suspenseful with plenty of twists and turns throughout I would recommend this books if you enjoy this particular genre.

I love Nicole Trope books, and this one didn't disappoint -what a wild ride!

Amanda moves to West St with her children Jordan and Kiera. She'd previously received a text message that is implied to have let her know about her husband Mike's infidelity. Amanda leaves her luxurious life behind for a rental property that needs a lot of work, but at least she and the children are safe now. Amanda is a survivor of domestic violence, but she never reported it. When Mike discovers she's run away, he sends her threatening messages. She feels hopeless and that nobody will believe her.

Caroline lives on West St. She knows everyone and everything about them. Lots of names are thrown in here.... Mary, Cora, Gemma, Janine... and then of course, her new neighbour Amanda who to her looks "expensive" and well put-together but doesn't have a husband with her. Caroline makes the same assumption we're all making and determines the house is now home to a broken family.

Jordan, Amanda's son, is incredibly unhappy with his new life. He tries to contact Mike on the day of the move, but he's on business travel in China. He prefer his father to Amanda, and plans to run away from his new house. His behaviour gets worse and he becomes verbally and psychologically abusive towards Amanda. Jordan finally gets his dad to answer and they exchange messages, thus Jordan inadvertently gives away Amanda's location to Mike.

As the book progresses, we learn why Amanda ran away from Mike and how they met. More names are thrown in here Paula, Annette, Patricia, Luna, Liam, Rod... Amanda and Mike met when he was married, and Amanda feels his abuse is the price she had to pay for taking another woman's husband. Mike's ex-wife, Annette, wrote her a message warning her before their wedding, but of course Amanda thought she was bitter. Now Amanda wants to talk to Annette.

I had a lot of fun trying to connect the different POVs and names. I'd say there are two twists in this story -one more shocking than the other! I kind of figured out the first one, probably because I've read a lot of books in the genre. However, the second and final twist totally caught me by surprise!

I binge read this book, it's an absolute page turner!

Disclosure: I would like to thank the publisher and author for my advanced review copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This fast-paced, domestic thriller is sure to be a big hit! What started out as a common trope turned into a whole different ball game with unexpected twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. The suspense was utterly killing me. I couldn't turn the pages on my Kindle fast enough. And that mic drop moment at the end was pure genius. Very clever! The prose was a little repetitive at times, but it didn't ruin my overall enjoyment of the book. I had lots of fun reading it! I would definitely recommend to thriller fans!

Thank you to Bookouture for granting me a digital ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!

As always I raced through Nicole’s book, fast paced and the storyline turns in a way you don’t expect a sold four stars from me

Amanda is an abused wife to a wealthy man.
She leaves him while he is on a business trip, with her two children, and moves to a cul-de-sac where everyone knows the business of their neighbours.
Jordan, her 11 year old son is an angry, mean, disrespectful foul mouthed child, who has obviously learned that behaviour from his father.

Wow, a fast paced domestic thriller that keeps you turning the pages far into the night!
I quite literally could not put this book down, I had to know what happened next.
The twists don't end until the last page.


"There are no happy endings here, just endings."

Realistic characters kept this story moving quickly. Red herrings…secrets…dysfunctional family dynamics…suspense…fright…neighbors who seem somewhat strange…a page turner…thanks Netgalley.

Did I just binge read this book last night. Hell Yeah!

I love Nicole Trope books. they are amazing and this one was as amazing as the other.

Full of twists. The plot was incredible.
