I did find this book hard to get into and didn’t like the introduction at all. However, as I was on holiday I kept on going and I’m so glad I did as it turned out to be a very interesting read about a very current topic, rape and adoption . I liked the two time lines…Dino and Tara …and found them easy to navigate. I’m still not sure I liked the ending… certainly not what I expected!
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read this book .

This was my first book by Jane E James & it definitely didn't disappoint! I will be on the look out for more books by this author!!!

An incredible book with wonderful characters and a beautiful setting. It will keep you guessing until the end.

So many secrets and lies in this one! Really good characters and plot. I'm new to the author but will look out for me based on this.

Loved this. fast paced with great characters that had me hooked in. Hard to put down.
Looking forward to reading more by Jane E James

I loved this from the start, I was pulled in straight away! A thriller full of secrets and lies, it really kept me guessing and it was really well written!

Thank you SO much to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

I absolutely loved this!! Such great characters and a great storyline.

My full review is to follow in a few days.....

A tense and suspenseful thriller that explores the dark secrets that can hide behind closed doors, with a gripping plot and an unexpected twist.

Kept me on my toes and guessing until the very end! Secrets and lies could destroy everything. I was enthralled by the mystery which is a mind bending one to solve.

This is my first book by this author. Definately impressed and will be reading more. It has great twists and turns and will have you flipping those pages.

First time reading this author and I really enjoyed this roller coaster of a ride!!! Loves the alternating past and present & this is one of my favorite styles of writing

Not my Child is not the book for me. The book has the makings of a good story with obsession and murder but that's about the only exciting thing it has going for it. I didn't care for any of the characters and the story kept getting far fetched as it went along,

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC

Overall, a good page turner with the usual array of characters with hidden secrets to keep you guessing. Plenty of twists and turns along the way and a satisfying enough ending.

Ok so this is more of a 3.5 star read for me. I think I started typing this review out and apparently didn't finish it because I thought I already did it, but I'm blabbering but this book SUCKED me in in the beginning, like to the point where I figured I'd finish it so fast but then as a mama of 2 with holidays I got carried away and unable to really read so I didn't get to finish it as fast as I'd have liked. The reason I gave it only 3.5 stars was just because <spoiler> I felt the ending to be a bit unbelievable and I liked Tara too much to understand how she wouldn't have known if that makes sense... </spoiler> but I'd recommend this one!

Not my Child by Jane E James was an excellent book, especially as this is a new author to me. This book was a great page turner from start to finish, with brilliant twists and turns that will have your head spinning! and I loved it. I also love a book that has lots of secrets but you know secrets will always find away of coming out in the end!

WoW.......Brilliant ending......and breathe!

A great holiday read and I highly recommend it.

I am looking forward reading more books from the author. I just love the way she writes and all her characters are excellent.

Big Thank you to Netgalley and Joffe Books for my Arc copy.

I enjoyed reading this I knew it was going to be good from the first couple of pages.i usually guess early on what's going to happen,but I didn't see the twist coming till it was too late.i put my hands over my eyes and said noooooo.five stars

I finished this really quickly. Finding it easy to follow and good to read.

Unfortunately the plot lacked for me. I guessed two of the major plot points rather quickly and felt the ending was too sudden and could of been expanded on easily.
Over all it was an interesting read that was Unfortunately lacking in places

This story starts out disturbing. As the story goes on it is clear there is something not right in the marriage.
The relationships in this story are all just odd and the end just irritated me.

Not the worst I’ve read but it was just ok for me.

Whilst the basis of the main story was good, the characters were just not likeable

Yes, there were lots of twists, and plenty of repetition. I suppose the story kept me interested, but it was a bit of a struggle.

Thanks to Net Galley and Joffe Books for the chance to read and review.

I didn't enjoy this book at all, the plot was incredibly unbelievable and cliche. SO many holes in the plot, it was painful. The actual writing was decent, hence the one star. I will most likely not be purchasing this book for our library.
