DESCRIPTION:
I look after her children. But I know she stole mine…
As a nanny for the wealthy Eatons, Trina watches every day as Rosalind Eaton cradles the baby close. Trina’s baby.
The sweet little boy won’t settle—he never does in Rosalind’s arms. It breaks Trina’s heart to see the tiny tears falling down his fat cheeks. His glossy hair is light auburn, and straight. Nothing like the Eaton family’s classic dark curls.
Trina has been watching the Eatons for years. And what she knows about their dark past could be their undoing.
Rosalind isn’t coping. She isn’t sleeping and she’s barely eating. It is Trina who rocks the baby in the dead of night, whispering soothing words of comfort. Surely Rosalind is just one step away from slipping up and revealing the truth Trina is so certain of…
Trina’s baby was stolen.
The Eatons seem perfect, but they can’t be trusted.
And she’ll do anything to get her baby back.
Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and John Marrs will be totally obsessed with this gripping psychological thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Steena Holmes!

MY THOUGHTS:
Is destruction her aim? Or is she securing the bonds of a lifelong friendship? They say there’s a fine line between love and hate. So what truly lies behind the line drawn between Trina Emmet and Rosalind Eaton?
Trina and Rosalind share a past. From the moment they met, Trina has always been there for Rosalind and has never wavered in her loyalty. Currently, both women are pregnant and ultimately give birth on the same night—though Trina delivers three weeks early. The delivery is traumatic, and Trina slips into unconsciousness. Even in her haze, she is certain she heard two babies crying. Yet when she wakes, she’s told her baby died.
This dual POV story brings short chapters. I loved how the Steena Holmes continually dropped shocking things at the end of the chapters. It was as if these weren’t just words on the page, but were designed to make the reader stop and release a deep breath. Then put their eyes right back on the screen or page, because of the addictive style this story delivered.
What a tense story! There was a huge measure of control and gaslighting, with some shocking twists. At the same time, we are talking about babies, so the emotional aspect of the story was just utterly compelling. This may be my first book by Steena Holmes but it certainly won’t be my last.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
