This book was well written and had me on the edge of my seat more times than I can count. I was terrified for those poor little girls the entire time! While the beginning felt a little slow, once the story picked up, I couldn’t put it down. I also loved the multiple POVs. I found it really added depth to the story. The twists and turns were chaotic in the best way possible, and I enjoyed every messy second of it. Huge thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

First, a huge thanks to Emily Shiner and her team for allowing me to read this ARCA.
It's my first from her, and it won't be the last. This book takes a different approach to twisting and turning the story, right up to the end. Without giving away spoilers, this is not your average kid goes missing story. I highly encourage everyone to read it.

Thank you; Bookouture & NetGalley for this ARC ebook by Emily Shiner.
Release date set for: February 21, 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - When 2 little girls, who live on the same block, in a gated community, who have the same nanny go missing on the same day is just horrifying!
The story is told from different POVs (both girls moms, the nanny & the police detective). The transition from one to another was flawless.
This book hooked me right from the first chapter. I couldnt put it down because I just HAD to know what was going to happen.
The author Emily Shiner did it again with this one. With lots of twists, secrets & suspense, The Nanny Share is a "must-read" domestic thriller.
Once again, thank you @NetGalley! for the opportunity to read this advanced copy.

I requested this book because of the description and title (I used to be a nanny for a nanny share), so I was intrigued. This book is told from multiple point-of-views. The storyline is gripping and held my interest the entire time. The were so many twists and every time I thought I had it figured out, I learned that I surely didn’t have it figured out! This was my first Emily Shiner book and won’t be my last; I’m officially a fan!
I’m happy to report that none of this happened during my nanny share experience! Haha.

From the very start, the author drops plenty of hints that get my mind working to piece everything together. I find myself eagerly flipping through the pages, trying to figure out what’s going on. Then, just when I think I've got it all sorted out—around 80% into the book—the author adds more details that make me question everything I thought I knew, leaving me even more bewildered.
As I approached the end, I felt the story pick up speed, and I found myself sitting up, fully engaged in the journey.
Overall, I really enjoyed the read. There were so many twists, but in the end, everything made sense!

So many unexpected twists. Secrets and shocking revelations just continually come spilling out! This was a very entertaining and twisty thriller! I felt like I couldn’t trust any of the characters and that just added to my enjoyment of the story. Be prepared for intense moments and unpredictable twists. I never could have guessed how everything would fit together in such a shocking way! Well worth the read!

This book had an intriguing premise but all of the characters were so unlikeable. Those poor little girls in the story were being taken care of by really awful humans. The story moved at a fast pace but I just couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters, except the little girls. And we never really knew much about them, so it was hard to really get involved in the story. The ending was convoluted and just too much.

There is a lot to unpack and digest in this novel. It starts with a bang and doesn't let up. I relly enjoyed it and set out to read a few chapters a day, boy was I wrong! I just kept wanting to read it, it's that good! Full of twists and turns, it really kept my attention and I raced through it. Fabulous read.

“The Nanny Share" by Emily Shiner is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The story's fast-paced twists and turns make it nearly impossible to put down, and her masterful storytelling draws you deeper into the intricate web of secrets and suspense. The characters are complex and compelling, each harboring hidden motives that keep you guessing until the very end. If you enjoy psychological suspense with plenty of unexpected surprises, "The Nanny Share" is a must-read.

When you read a book, the author provides you with lots of info to get you started and that's when your brain starts to do overtime. You want to try and find out what is really going on. Of course it's impossible to piece everything together and so the author decides to give some more details to help you, but often this makes you start doubting what you thought you knew and it makes you even more confused.
The only thing there is left to do, is to read on and on until you finally see the light.
And that's exactly what I did. I decided who I wanted to believe and those I suspected. Did I pick the right ones or did I pick them for the right reasons? One thing is for sure. People are very good in hiding things and someone has been a very busy person. They thought they were invincible, but it all came back to bite them in the behind. When they thought they had everything under control, it seemed like they had to think again.
Very enjoyable read with lots of surprises which I adore. 5 stars
Thank you

The Nanny Share wasn't for me. Giving it 5-star to avoid messing up my feedback ratio. I was extremely confused as I was reading this book because the story didn't match the reviews posted online. The jaw dropping prologue everyone is talking about? a girl falls from her swing and her nanny helps her get back up. Imagine my face going back and forth the book's pages, thinking I must've accidentally read a random chapter instead of the prologue or perhaps downloaded the wrong book. I really don't know what's going on here, but 'something smells rotten' to me personally (just my opinion)
As for the story itself, it's told from numerous POVs (I counted four) which is fine if you're into that kind of structure. I think objectively speaking the story is well-written and the characters well developed. You have to be masterfully skilled to keep momentum going with so many POVs and characters.
Personally, I'd say this is a solid 'domestic noir' type of book. I feel like adding the nanny to the story was a great idea, and does offer a unique angle to this type of narrative. If you like books about marriages then I'd say you'll love this book.

I found this book a little bit slow to start however it sure did catch up and had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what twist was going to be next. Highly enjoyable.

Emily Shiner roped me in!
This book takes you down a world wind of twists and turns. Everytime you think you’ve figured it out something changes and you’re questioning yourself again.
The storyline is fantastic.
Truly a great read.
Is a shared Nanny to blame?
Where are the girls?
Who did it?
Is the family dispute to blame?
Definitely pick up this book to find out.
Highly recommend.

Talk about grabbing the reader's attention... The prologue was definitely an attention grabber, and the rest of the book didn't disappoint!
Two little girls go missing from their homes on the same day, around the same time, from the same neighborhood. Both girls have the same nanny; Julie.
The story is told from several different points of view:
Carrie, Emma's mom.
Alison, Nealie's mom.
Julie, the nanny of both missing girls.
Kate, a police officer assigned to both cases.
Oh, the tangled webs we weave! It seems as though all of the characters are intertwined, each of them with their own secrets to keep.
Reading this book made me lose a lot of sleep... it was soooo good that I just couldn't put it down. Homerun!
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion/review.

Before I get into anything else, I want to thank @netgalley and @authoremilyshiner for the opportunity to read this wonderfully written book before its official release.
I've been a part of NetGalley for a while, but this year, I'm going to try my hardest to consistently read more and share them with you.
The Nanny Share just dives right into the story, where we meet a shared nanny, two sets of parents, and two missing little girls.
It takes many twists and turns and goes in multiple directions that I definitely didn't expect!
I don't want to give too much away, so you're definitely going to have to check out this five star book when it releases on February 21, 2025!
I loved it and wonderful job, Ms. Shiner!!

Prepare to not want to put this one down.
The nanny share by Emily Sheiner begins with a jaw dropping prologe that left me wanting to continue on reading. Heading into the first chapter we are immediately hit with a missing child with a worried mother and a hesitant father who doesn’t want to involve the police. Another chapter in and we discovered that another family has lost their little girl on the same night, this family also having some dirty laundry that they also don’t want to be aired but aren’t as hesitant to call the police. Both families were connected for a while but, a recent mysterious falling out has me turning more pages to determine what happened.
We are then introduced to Julie who nanny’s for both of the families and her and her boyfriend seem to have a dirty little secret of their own.
Shiner tells the story through 4 points of view but every so often we are met with a mysterious POV , urging me to read on to try and figure out who it is.
I thrive on a good introduction when reading psychological thrillers and I am wanting to be pulled into the book within the first couple pages and Shiner did not disappoint. Fans of psychological thrillers will enjoy the nanny share because it keeps them guessing and just when you think you’ve figured it out Shiner places another clue and shocking revelation that has your wheels turning yet again and you then realize that you can no longer trust any of the characters.
Read the nanny share if you love a good page turner that keeps you guessing with multiple plot twists keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Julie is a nany to 2 families who are close friends, or was????? When both Nealie and Emma go missing its a race against time to find them. They live in a gated community and should have nothing to fear of being safe How has this happened? Is it an inside job? Not all is as it seems!! Both families havnt spoken for months, only they know why.. Are the girls found safe? What caused the rift in the once close families?
There are lots of twists in this book, I loved it, secrets galore. I didnt see the end coming. I highly recommend this book

Two little four year olds go missing and there is a suspect who you wouldn't necessarily think of .
The Nanny Share is gripping thrilling and omg the drama and suspense come in waves. I was gripped from the start and did not, could not guess what happens next.
A well written story thatgives you creeps.. Hold your children tight and don't let them out of your sight..
It's a good emotional and tormenting read.

THE NANNY SHARE BY EMILY SHINER.
Release date set for the 21st of February 2025.
5 STARS.
Oh my goodness this book gave me chills by the time I finished reading the end of the prologue.
I can say that hasn't happened to me for a long while.
This book is written beautifully and it's paced just right.
Story line is gripping and thrilling.
Every single character made me suspicious of them apart from maybe two.
When my baby woke up for a night feed i was so excited to read more and stayed up way longer than i had to.
Very well done Emily and congratulations on an amazing book.

I am up for EVERY book Shiner writes. Her books always tug at my emotions and involve action and drama, which go hand-in-hand.
This one involves the disappearance of two little four-year-old girls. They live on the same block in an exclusive neighborhood, where neighbors trust each other enough to not lock their doors. This changes in an instant. The mothers are best friends, but as the story unfolds their families are torn apart. Whom can they trust.? What is the motive? Is the Nanny involved? Secrets are about to come out in WAVES!!!
Get ready for one action packed novel with so many twists. I usually see one, but this one had me stumped. Way to go Emily!
