It was just ok. Literally the plot line was guessable and predictable.

It's good! I liked it! The ending wasn't as good as the buildup, but is it ever? I'm not really a thriller gal but this was good enough for even me to enjoy a lot. I grew attached to the characters--the dynamic between the nanny and the protagonist was really fun. The tension, the different threads that seemed to go nowhere until the end, all of it kept me on edge. And hey, Asian female lead. Can't go wrong with that.

This was the longest, most boring, anti climactic book I have ever read.
This was a horrible attempt at what could have been a really great thriller.
With unlikeable characters, obvious twists, too long chapters, added bonuses of mundane life and the weird 'story' Anna is reading, nothing held my attention for very long.

A good read that could have literally gone in any direction. I thought it was clear where it was going but actually it completely flipped.
It was probably this unseen ending that made an otherwise 2D book a better read.

This was SO GOOD. I did the audio and listened to it every spare minute I had. The narration was so good. I loved the characters and it was pretty funny at times. I figured out one thing but the ending was unexpected. And dark!

Love this
This was such a good book. At first I found it slow. But as soon as it picked up I was in love with it. It’s fairly fast paced. Definitely recommend this book.

Slow to start and I was really ready to give up, but glad I kept reading. The ending wasn’t what I had expected.

3.5 stars. This book had a good amount of suspense. Oaklynn, the new nanny, seemed to not be everything she appeared to be. Little things seem suspicious and it keeps the reader turning pages to see if Oaklynn is really who she claims to be. The ending kept me guessing without scaring me - a good mix for a suspenseful novel!
