Story
Mark and Melissa Cain are thrilled to have found Jade, a babysitter who is brilliant with their young children. Having seen her own house burn to the ground, Jade needs them as much as they need her. Moving Jade into the family home can only be a good thing, can’t it? As Mark works long hours as a police officer and Melissa struggles with running a business, the family become ever more reliant on their babysitter, who is only too happy to help. And as Melissa begins to slip into depression, it’s Jade who is left picking up the pieces. But Mark soon notices things aren’t quite as they seem. Things at home feel wrong, and as Mark begins to investigate their seemingly perfect sitter, what he discovers shocks him to his core. He’s met Jade before. And now he suspects he might know what she wants.

Summary
Your secrets. Her lies.

You took everything from me. Now you need to pay.

Lovely Gripping Story
I'm a huge fan of Sheryl Browne I have to admit. I was a fan before she turned to thriller and it took me a while to adjust, but she's a real good story teller. This book didn't disappoint at all, the characters were all so real and well presented and the story had a lot of twists that I didn't work out, as well as some that I did.
The narrator sounded like a girl that lived down the road, but being a Brummie I guess I could relate a bit more. She's a bit like me, I can speak normally but love to indulge my accent when I can. Katie helps to bring the characters to life.
I expected it to get a little darker than it did. Sheryl knows how to do dark and dangerous. But, even though it was a bit tense at times, the real darkness was much more subtle.
I think this is one of my favourite books so far, but I'm just about to purchase Sheryl's new book so we'll see.
If you like a thriller which is hard to put down, with characters that pop out with such different personalities. Then you'll enjoy this book.
As I said, I am a Sheryl Browne fan, but I've not been asked to write about this book and I bought it myself.

Well written
I thought it was well written, the dialogue was good and the story was good, but quite slow to start with. Things start to get interesting in the second half and it really gets going towards the end. Good narrator, she has a very nice voice and is very expressive and reads it very well but I wish she she wouldn't suck air through her teeth after every 2 sentences or so, its not nice to hear when you're using earphones. I would definitely read more books from the same author and will look for more.

Well Done! Great characters!
I always admire an author who can make their heroine flawed to the point where the listener shouldn't like her, but does anyway.
We have a grieving mother who's lost her son to a tragic accident, a grieving step father who is trying to cope with his wife's grief and his own, and an unknown girl who shows up at the door claiming to have, in her hands, the baby of the deceased.
While one's head may start to go in several obvious directions (ie, 'She's lying!' 'Get a paternity test!'), Browne puts together a unique twist that surprises the reader.
I would have given 'The New Girlfriend' 5 stars had I not figured out the 'twist' halfway through the book. However, I suppose those of us with devious minds always expect the unexpected, and the worst from people!

Stunning Straight to the Very End
I am at an almost total loss for words. What a fantastic thrill-ride this story is! It does not go far enough to state that this book is entirely gripping and unexpected with a highly satisfying ending. Beyond that, I am not sure what to say without giving away the story which I will not do. This is simply a must-read for anyone who adores darkly twisted thrillers that are evenly paced and less than predictable. I thoroughly enjoy well crafted stories in which I cannot predict the plot twists and this one more than delivers! Excellent narration made it nearly impossible to stop listening. Utterly remarkable, start to finish!
