The Foster Daughter is fabulous from start to finish. Another fantastic twisty read from Laura Wolfe. Kept me up all night!
I loved The Foster Daughter! It was incredibly gripping from start to finish, keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I couldn’t figure out who the villains were until the very end.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!
What a twisty thriller with an unpredictable ending! There were many suspects that kept me guessing right up to the end. I kept changing my mind as the story progressed. With twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat, the plot developed well and left me questioning everyone and everything. I really like Riley's character. Very unexpected twists that were well written within the context of the plot. And that ending and epilogue?! My jaw literally dropped. I definitely recommend this one.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion
Another great, engaging, and unique psychological thriller. Cant wait to read more from this author. The book kept me curious about what was next and it was almost impossible to put down—I finished in one day! If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers this is definitely not one that you want to miss!
First, I want to thank Laura Wolfe, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
DANG!!! Laura Wolf takes you on a wickedly twisted roller coaster ride in her latest psychological suspense novel The Foster Daughter! This is a book you will need to clear your schedule as it is so intense you will just want to binge read it. Oh and the book sucks you in quickly as it is fast paced and totally addictive. You are going to want to put this one on the must read list.
When I say there are wicked twists in this book I really mean there are some serious twists in this book. Some of the twists caught me off guard and I even said oh snap to! Laura was really good at throwing us off the path for a few things if not more.
Laura created a very storyline that was very creative and was thought of outside of the box. I really loved that. Her story was unlike any I had ever read before.
There is nothing like a Laura Wolfe book to get me out of a reading slump - which I unfortunately found myself in at the beginning of October. Then I picked up my ARC of Laura’s newest book, “The Foster Daughter”, and I was instantly pulled into this twisty story!
Riley returns to the foster home she ran away from fifteen years ago. With nowhere else to turn, she shows up on her foster parents’ doorstep with her four year old son. Everyone is questioning why she has decided to return now, and she doesn’t really want to tell them. Because they have no idea what her real motives are, or why she left all those years ago…
With its wild opening, ‘The Foster Daughter” immediately grabbed my attention! And it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. As bits of info about Riley’s past came to light, I became increasingly suspicious of several characters. I had a prediction about how it was going to go, and I was pretty much right with my guess - and the twisty journey it took to get there was so much fun! I can't wait to see what this author comes out with next!
Thank you to Laura Wolfe, Bookouture and Laura Wolfe or the ARC! “The Foster Daughter” is out now! This book will be shared to my instagram blog, (@books_by_the_bottle) shortly :)
A great story that kept me reading far later than I had intended but I just didnt want to put the book down. Twists and mysteries galore. Well worth a read
Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in return for an honest review
Laura Wolfe's "The Foster Daughter" is a riveting psychological thriller that weaves a complex tale shrouded in mystery and suspense. It's the kind of story that grips you, turning page after page, as you delve into the characters' motives and the secrets they conceal.
"The Foster Daughter" grips the reader from the very first page and doesn't let go until the very end. Readers planning to pick up "The Foster Daughter' should prepare for a suspenseful and twisty journey.
A web of secrets, lies, and assumptions drove the plot. As the story unfolded, secrets came to light, and the lies started to unravel. The burning question on everyone's mind: Who is the real villain?
As previously stated, this book leads the reader through a twisty journey, with the most significant twist unfolding early in the story. The revelation from this twist unleashed a plethora of complications. From that point on, the suspense intensified. The story presents multiple suspects, leaving it to the reader to deduce the who, the why, and the where.
Like many psychological thrillers I've had the pleasure of reading, the conclusion of "The Foster Daughter" left me feeling unsatisfied. While one might wish for a sequel, experience suggests it's unlikely, leaving the reader to devise their own theories.
Readers who enjoy twisty plots and delving into the depths of family secrets and complex characters, "The Foster Daughter" is a captivating read. This psychological thriller, packed with unexpected turns and complex relationships, promises a compelling journey for any reader fascinated by the subtle complexities of family ties and the secrets they hide.
Riley disappeared without a trace. No note, no sightings, nothing. But now she’s back in town to a mixed reception. But why? How? Only she knows!
Unlike the blurb, the story is told solely from Riley’s perspective. Getting reacquainted with those who knew her back in the day. She’s trying to start afresh with her four year old in tow. But why now? I had some many questions for this mums
As I got to know my main character, those around her started to give me the tingles. Especially when things start to go “bump in the night”, not literally. More strange innocuous things but they began to ramp up after one particular evening. My suspicious mind switched between those around Riley. I didn’t trust anyone. Who was hiding what and why? So so many questions!!
Wolfe’s standalone thriller had me hooked, I wanted to know why Riley did a runner and I wanted to know who was up to no good to keep secrets from being exposed. it’s the first book I read of Wolfe’s and I thoroughly enjoyed it – it won’t be the last my kindle will see of this author!
The Foster Daughter by Laura Wolf, when Riley shows up on Wendy and George’s door they find it hard to believe she’s back her ex-boyfriend Jake doesn’t believe it but soon there will be one person who knows the truth but is that someone Riley can trust. She’s already on the run from one murder due to self-defense. When she arrives back in Michigan she is hoping this will be the respite and a safe place for her and her son Noah to get their life straight and for her to get a career going with the people she came back hoping to depend on may not be all that dependable. It seems even her ex-best friend Harper reveals a side to her that isn’t so friendly. Everyone Riley thinks is in her corner may actually have her cornered and she may not live long enough to get out of it. I just want to say this book ended as if there could be a second book and if there is I am so down to read it. I really liked Riley and thoroughly enjoyed this book it has twist until the end I love a book that even after all is revealed there’s a final twist that makes you say OMG that happened with this book and I want to say the author doesn’t wait until the end of the book to throw the twist in because they start soon after the book begins. I really loved it and totally enjoyed it. I thought I had read a book by Laura Wolfe before but I was wrong but will definitely be on the lookout for her books in the future.#NetGalley, #Bookoucher, #LauraWolf, #TheFosterDaughter,
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of The Foster Daughter by Laura Wolfe. This book was pretty well paced with many twists along the way. It was a captivating book. There were times when the main character would explain something that was very awkward and seemed to be a different writing style than the other parts of the book. The epilogue was a set up to perhaps a book 2? But then again, it would end up being similar to book 1. It was enjoyable and I would recommend it. A 4 star rating from me.
Thank you for the ARC Netgalley and Bookouture.
I love Laura Wolfe's writing and the Foster Daughter was no different!
I always think that I pick the twist but I am always wrong! There's so many twists and turns you won't see coming it keeps you on your toes.
Once I started I found it hard to put down.
I can't wait till the next Laura Wolfe read!
This book was really good! There was a lot of twists and mystery throughout the book! I couldn’t put it down. I kept thinking I figured things out, but I was so wrong!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!
I received an arc copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I guess I am in the minority here but I thought that this book was just okay. I almost didn't finish it because I felt like it kept dragging on until it picked up probably the last third of the book. There were many twists but the main character had my head spinning of who did it!
WoW ........... The Foster Daughter by Laura Wolfe and narrated by Laura Kay Bailey was an excellent audiobook/book and an absolutely heart-pounding and gripping psychological suspense novel I loved it. It was full of twists and turns throughout which made this book an excellent read and the narrator Laura Kay Bailey was superb!
Riley is the foster daughter in question and with many secrets, twists and drama this was a fabulous read.
It has a slow start but and epic finish and I loved it.
I enjoyed the unfolding stroyline and the ending was phenonemal ..
