I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I anticipated a thrilling journey when I picked up The Perfect Nanny. But I received more than I expected. The Perfect Nanny delivered a complex plot that left me on the edge of my seat for the most part. Get ready for surprises and bewilderment. Readers who enjoy thrillers will definitely find it difficult to put this book down.

While working on her thesis, Haley gets a job babysitting the Smiths' nine-year-old twins. She had no idea that accepting this job would put her in jeopardy. The Smiths accused her of kidnapping their 15-month-old daughter, about whom Haley knew nothing. The twin's reaction to the entire situation was surprising.

Haley is certain there is no baby, so she was astonished when she was arrested and charged with kidnapping. With the evidence growing against her, she lost all hope.

Deception drives the complex and layered plot of this psychological thriller. Everyone in this story appears to have an agenda. The big questions on my mind as I flipped through the pages were: who can be trusted in the grand scheme of things? Did a baby really exist? Is Haley truly innocent, as she claims, or is she a pawn in someone's revenge plot?

Shari J. Ryan weaves a tale intent on baffling readers as they try to unravel the intricate puzzle that is The Perfect Nanny. The jaw-dropping twists and turns will have readers flipping pages, making this a difficult book to put down. The characters will have one wondering who is the craziest of the bunch. The events leading up to the answer to that question is what made this story so thrilling and exciting. So, prepare for a wild ride.


Readers who enjoy a well-written psychological thriller with great pacing and several shocking twists will love The Perfect Nanny.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
