Don't Let Her Stay: An unputdownable psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist

Wow!!!!!! Twisted and amazing. Couldn't put it down! I read it in two days! Wishing didn't end. I need more!

Great book with a good twist. I gave it 4 stars because the end seemed a bit rushed, but overall enjoyable.

Such a great book, kept me engaged and turning pages the entire time! It was intriguing up to the last page.

3.5 ⭐️ Let me start by saying, I thought almost all these characters were unlikeable and unintelligent (excluding Simon and the dog). But if there is one person I absolutely could not stand throughout the entire novel—it would be Richard. He was annoying, but when the ending rolls around I see why the author had him written that way. Ultimately, if you’re new to thrillers, I highly recommend this as a starting point. It is clever and has a satisfying-enough ending. *SPOILERS (kinda… but not really)* The biggest issue I had was the 20-50% mark practically being the same scene replaying over and over again. Yes, we needed to understand that Jo was being jerked around and questioning her stability because of Chloe… but I would’ve liked to have seen some more creativity with variations of scenes that caused that. Not the same dinner scene with Jo trying to explain to Richard on repeat, even well past the 50%. Side note: Can we talk about why Richard never once asked Chloe to watch her tone with Jo? We are made to believe he doesn’t see a problem with Chloe, but there are some points in dialogue when she is blatantly being rude and disrespectful to Jo right if front of Richard… He never says anything, but he also is like “Chloe is an angel Jo, you’re making it up…” The twist itself… I find that i’m indifferent. I will stay say that I THINK Im satisfied, but I’m not sure… I feel like the ending may have gone as far as to “over explain”, but ultimately, it was handled fairly well.

Highly recommend this book. There were so many twist and turns and I thought I knew who did it but that twist at the end is what I never saw coming.

You already know when you have the perfect husband, the perfect baby and the perfect life that something turns out not to be quite perfect, right? What on earth could go wrong when a family has it all? Well, for starters, Joanne Atkinson didn’t plan on having an addition to her already perfect family, but Chloe, her stepdaughter, out of the blue, decides to contact her dad, Richard, for a much needed visit. They hadn’t spoken in almost two years. Joanne was excited to meet her stepdaughter because she knew very little about her and she figured it would be so much fun getting to know her and while she visited, Chloe could get to know her baby sister, Evie. Chloe was elated to have a new baby sister. She adored the little bundle of joy about as much as her parents did. She was going to prove what an awesome big sister she could be. Chloe’s suitcases weren’t quite unpacked when immediately Joanne sensed something was off. Could it have been a look Chloe gave her or a smile that didn’t quite reach her lips and forgot to advise her face of such? Umm, Joanne figured it was nothing, just the jitters in meeting her new stepdaughter. Richard was over-the-moon having his eldest daughter with him. So, imagine their surprise when she mentions that she quit college and her job and decided she was going to live with them forever. Whoa! Wait a minute? Pump your brakes! Who said anything about living here forever? Coming to visit and meet the family was one thing, Joanne thought. But it’s an entirely different matter living permanently with them. Joanne decided it was time for her to do something for herself and called her old job to see if she could work remotely for a couple days a week. Joanne hired a nanny to look after Evie so that she could get back to some adult things and rejoin the workforce of sorts. When Joanne mentions at dinnertime that she was excited to have found a nanny, Chloe got in her feelings and wondered why she didn’t ask her to watch her baby sister. Joanne wasn’t thrilled with that idea because she wasn’t exactly comfortable with Chloe, but Richard figured this would be the best for all involved. Hmm, and that, readers, is where our psychological thriller takes off! Oh my, my, my! I do declare we have ourselves some suspense here! Actually, being a seasoned reader, I figured this story out, but it didn’t matter one bit because I truly enjoyed it. However, having said that, what grated on my nerves was how dumb Joanne was. There were things that Chloe said and did that would have made me catch a case for real. This had to be a fictional story because there isn’t any way in hell Chloe would have said the things she did, but that’s beside the point. 🙄 Anyhow, I felt this was a really good storyline. Most avid readers will be able to figure out most of it, but I have to say, the ending did have a twist. I enjoyed that. Overall, this was a really good book and if you like reading dramas and psychological thrillers, I’d highly recommend it.

Book doesn't get really good until about 70% in, then it becomes a page turner. But once it got going, the writing was well done! Still replaying all the intricacies of "the plan".

I enjoyed reading this one. There were so many emotions. Lots of twists and turns to keep up with. Great read

Brilliant and heart-taking! I couldn't sleep without knowing the end! There's one point when you don't know what to believe!

Its an okay book. Nothing great. Predictable and very similar to the popular tiktok mysteries

I really liked the story and it was fun to read. A break from reality, I hope, LOL

Gripping, read it in 2 days , amazing twist . Recommend 100%. First Nicola sanders book definitely not the last one 🥰
