About this listen

She thought they wanted her baby. But they won’t stop there.

Roz is young, penniless and pregnant. All she wants is to be the perfect mother to her child, but the more she thinks about her own chaotic upbringing, the more certain she is that the best life for her baby is as far away as possible from her hometown in Ireland.

Determined to do the right thing, Roz joins an elite adoption service and can’t believe her luck. Within days she is jetting to New York to meet a celebrity power couple desperate for a child of their own. Sheridan and Daniel are wealthy and glamorous - everything Roz isn’t. Her baby will never go hungry, and will have every opportunity for the perfect life. But soon after Roz moves into their plush basement suite, she starts to suspect that something darker lurks beneath the glossy surface of their home.

When Roz discovers she isn’t the first person to move in with the couple, and that the previous woman has never been seen since, alarm bells start ringing. As the clock ticks down to her due date, Roz realises her unborn baby may be the only thing keeping her alive, and that despite her best intentions, she has walked them both into the perfect nightmare...

I did enjoy this, it was entertaining. However, the narration was really distracting and at times irritating until I got used to it although the distraction carried on throughout. The Irish accents, whether during speech or narration, went up in that annoying way like every alternate line was a question, and it would be one quiet line, one louder. When in America the Irish character went from Spanish to Scottish to an American drawl and various others. Perhaps it was just my ears! I still enjoyed it and do like this author.

Very good but...!

Great use of accents for relevant chapters. Very long story but kept you wanted to listen.

Tense

I half enjoyed this book but it did contain a fair bit of unbelievable events - saw twist a mile off, main female character too stupid to be likeable

Average

Once the American narrator made her first attempt at an Irish accent I had to stop listening. I found it offensive and impossible to listen to. Story was decent so it’s a pity

Accents are appalling

I honestly can usually tell what direction a story is going to go but this story twisted and turned until I had to just stop guessing and enjoy the rollercoaster. the characters were so well developed that you cant just view them one dimensionally

the twists shook me
