Blurb<\/h2>\n

The Nanny . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

India McKenzie lost her mother far too young. And now she\u2019s lost her best friend, too.<\/p>\n

She needs to escape, so she takes a job with a wealthy family.<\/p>\n

They live in an isolated old manor house in the Derbyshire countryside. There\u2019s never anyone around.<\/p>\n

The parents are not exactly warm. It\u2019s all piano practice and scheduling playdates.<\/p>\n

Seven-year-old Alicia can be difficult sometimes, but really she\u2019s just a sweet little girl who\u2019s lonely. She needs a friend \u2014 not just a nanny.<\/p>\n

Everyone says the grown-up son is dangerous. But India can\u2019t help being drawn to him . . .<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s something no one talks about. A secret that this family will do anything to keep.<\/p>\n

India became a nanny to finally find a family to call her own. Now that she\u2019s found them \u2014 will they destroy her?<\/p>\n

. . . She\u2019s part of their<\/em> family now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Review<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

India needs to start a new life away from University in Leeds and finds herself employed as a Nanny for John and Julia Maine’s young daughter, Alicia.<\/p>\n

It sounds straightforward, but it isn’t. India has secrets. The Maines have a skeleton or two in their closet, too. And then there’s the oldest son, Alex, who stays in the house for at least now.<\/p>\n

Rumours and innuendo abound, and India has to determine which ones to believe and which not. If she isn’t careful, she could be in danger.<\/p>\n

This book sucked me in from the beginning. I love psychological thrillers with plenty of suspicious characters, and this book had no shortage of them.<\/p>\n

Just when I thought I had it all figured out, another twist took me in a different direction, and it wasn’t until the end that all was revealed.<\/p>\n
