"The Nanny Share" by Emily Shiner is a psychological thriller. Julie is the nanny for two little 4 year old girls, Emma and Nealie. Their families used to be close but are estranged now.

The book has mostly short chapters. The point of view changes for each chapter, and it's hard to keep track. Kate, the police detective is one voice. Julie, the nanny is another. Each mother, Karrie and Alison, also tell the story. I think Ryan, one of the fathers, may tell one chapter.

So, two little girls, one from each of two families, are missing one morning. The nanny is shocked and confused. The story advances hour by hour, uncovering secrets that hopefully lead to finding the girls. The detective is pushy and inappropriate. Both fathers are overbearing and mean.

The audiobook was narrated by Ashley Rose Kaplan. She did well with the female voices and the angry tones.

This is a decent thriller that kept me interested.

Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture Audio, and Emily Shiner for providing this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Wow, this book was great! I couldn't stop listening to it and really enjoyed the twists. So good, will be reading more from this author.

⭐⭐⭐ A decent read that kept me engaged from start to finish. The pacing was solid and there was enough suspense to keep me turning the pages. While some characters weren't particularly likable and a few felt a bit over the top, the story held my attention. The ending wrapped things up well enough, though nothing groundbreaking. A quick thriller that keeps you guessing, but ultimately just decent. The narration was a bit of a struggle for me at times, with one of the main character's voices being difficult to listen to. Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC.

I really enjoyed the content of the book. The storyline and plot were good, kept my attention, and definitely had my heart racing at times! My only complaint is the narration. Frankly, it took me a long time to listen to solely because I really did not enjoy one of the main character’s voices.

Nanny Share was a decent read that kept me engaged from start to finish. While some of the characters weren’t particularly likable and a few felt a bit over the top, the story itself held my attention. The pacing was solid, and there was enough suspense to keep me turning the pages. The ending wrapped things up well nothing groundbreaking, but satisfying enough. If you're looking for a quick thriller that keeps you guessing, this one is worth checking out.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the free copy for my review

The twisty ending was really a big surprise. It gave me a big shriver.

The story started with two young girls got disappeared and they were taken care by the same nanny. The story then revealed the secrets between the two families which made me hooked. The relationship between them was not what the outsiders could see. The plot was great and the pace was wonderful without any dragging.

The narrator had a great voice and intonation which made the story even more gripping.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for my copy.

This is one of those books which if I had been reading it, I would have given up on as I really didn’t like or appreciate any of the characters. Even the ‘good’ cop seemed warped and really shouldn’t have been on the case given her link to one of the men involved. Little aspects like that just annoyed me. As I listened to the audio whilst doing mundane routine cleaning jobs, I kept engaged as I found that I wanted to know the who, why and how answers. The book is well read and works as an escapist time passer when working but it’s not a book I could recommend to most of my fellow readers. (For example, its not a book to discuss at book club)

This book was very interesting, I was hooked and then it lost me, then i became more engaged again. I love her writing and narration was good.

Two little girls go missing in the middle of the night. They are best friends but the families who were also best friends have fallen apart. Why would both girls go missing? did they run away or were they taken? What are the families hiding? This is told in multi pov which each one gave you a piece of the puzzle to what happen now and what happen before. Its up to you as the reader to put them together and figure out what happen.


The only issue is everyone has something to hide and you have to see where the truth lies.
The story moved quickly and was a fast read. The narration did a really good job bringing the story together. Now a issue is none of the adult characters were likeable and I kinda didnt want a lot of them to have any justice.

Thank you Netgalley for this Audio arc in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Wow! This is a book that is chalk full of wild twists and turns. You will not see the ending coming! Emily Shiner is a masterful story teller who keeps her readers on the edge of their seat and this book is no exception! The audiobook was well done and the narrators fit the story well.

Thank you Net Galley, Emily Shiner and Bookouture Audio for the opportunity to preview this title. The opinions shared are my own.
This title is now available.

As this was my first Emily Shiner novel so I wasn't sure what exactly to expect, but I did enjoy!

The story was very interesting and had me wanting to know more. I loved all the POV’s as it allowed me to see all the different perspectives.
I did find a times fine it hard to keep up with all the different pieces of information but how the story was told helped. Do have to say I loved the ending and how everything tied nicely together.

Overall this was a great thriller that had me wanting to find out more. I would recommend this book to all readers.

Thanks to Emily Shiner, NetGalley, and Bookouture for the ARC.

I loved the intertwined nature of every family and every character in this book. Emily Shiner writes an amazing story of families going through their daughter’s disappearance but also trying to hide dirty secrets.

High quality fast paced audio told from multiple pov had me listening totally engrossed, so many secrets between the characters and so many red herrings. The narration was spot on but due to the fast pacing you really need to concentrate on who's pov it is. This is fundamentally a story about secrets and relationships and how far will you go to keep one or hide one. Two girls vanished and as the police investigate we are thrown into more secrets. Highly enjoyable from start to end. I felt overwhelmed by the bang bang of reveal at the end and the epilogue seemed omg ott but perfect fort he characters, kinda want a sequel please....... Thank you netgallery , publisher, author and narrator.

Unfortunately I didnt like this book - the writing was too amateurish, it covered the part that each and every character had a secret that they were hiding and were running around in circles when 2 kids were missing - the narration was flat, annoying and eventually it just became too flat!

I would like to thank Netgalley, Bookouture Audio for approving this audio ALC

Four year olds, Emma and Nealie, live on the same block in the exclusive, gated Blackwood neighborhood. Their mothers used to be best friends, but something happened to ruin their friendship. When the two girls both go missing the same night, the police are called. The one things that ties them together is the nanny. She does a nanny share between the two families, so she is immediately suspected. Where are Emma and Nealie? Will they be returned safely?

The Nanny Share is an interesting mystery/thriller. It is told from several POVs, so you need to listen carefully. Each of the characters gave bits and pieces of the story, and it was like a puzzle putting together all the facts to find out what was going on with these two couples. I found none of the characters very likable, nor reliable. There were a lot of secrets and an undercurrent of something threatening. Every time I learned something new about a character, I was sure they had something to do with the girls' disappearance. I wasn't even sure about the detective investigating the case. I had no idea who the culprit was until it was revealed in the story. So many twists, that I was surprised at the ending. Overall this was a well written story, with lots of twists to keep this reader guessing. I will tell you that the girls are safe, but you will have to read this one to find out who had them and why. I did a read/listen and enjoyed both formats. The narration by Ashley Rose Kaplan was well done and added to my enjoyment of the story. With the various POVs, she did a good job with the various voices.

“Rich people hide behind their money. They cover their sins with Gucci and Dior, but even the nicest clothes and fanciest cars can’t hide the fact that they’re abusive.” Lies, deceit, and betrayal describe this fast-paced thriller. Two little girls are missing without a trace. Were they taken, or did they somehow manage to get past the security of their gated community? All is not as it appears behind the idyllic facade of Blackwood. Each unlikeable character has something to hide. Keeping secrets is part of a deadly game where death is a consequence. The plot is full of twists and turns that lead to an unexpected conclusion. The narrator, Ashley Rose Kaplan skillfully brings the characters to life while adding emotion, intensity, and intrigue. Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for my audiobook.

This was my first book by this author, and it won't be my last. The Nanny Share is filled with unexpected twists and suspense. The story follows the disappearance of two young girls from a wealthy gated community—both cared for by the same nanny, Julie. As secrets unravel, suspicions grow, and everyone seems to be hiding something. The book's characters are layered and unreliable, making it difficult to know who to trust. It has deception, tension, unpredictable twists, and an ending you will never see coming. It is a must-read for fans of thrillers.

I received the audiobook of this book, and I thought the narration was great.

Can't say I enjoyed this one much. The characters felt flat and impersonal, I had a hard time keeping up with who was who because they all sounded the same and the twists were predictable and didn't save the story. The writing was decent, however, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This novel had an interesting concept, but was not well executed. The back and forth from the different characters displayed different situations, but the nanny’s parts were confusing and alluded to things that had not yet been revealed. I felt in the dark and this made me lose interest. I know the suspense was supposed to keep me satisfied until the end, but it did not work. As an avid psychological thriller consumer, I can say with confidence that this formula fell flat for me.
I am thankful for the opportunity to listen to this book, so many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. I feel sad about the several less than pleasing reviews I have given as of late. Honesty is the best policy!
