There are not enough superlatives in the English dictionary to express how much I loved this incredible thriller. I was hooked into the story from the first page and found myself so captivated that I was compelled to read the whole book in one sitting. The author takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride with multiple twists and turns that culminates with a nail-biting, seriously chilling epilogue. The story caused me to experience a wide range of conflicting emotions and even caused me to experience a lump in my throat... If I could, I would award The Stepchild far more than five stars... Very very highly recommended by little old me.âÇÖ NickiâÇÖs Life of Crime, â¡Èâ¡Èâ¡Èâ¡Èâ¡ÈáâÇÖAmazing amazing amazing. The Stepchild is brilliantly written.

ThereâÇÖs no downtime in this one, each page more gripping than the last. YouâÇÖll definitely want to clear your schedule, because youâÇÖll be finishing this in one sitting. Off to add all of Nicole TropeâÇÖs books to my TBR.âÇÖ Goodreads reviewer, â¡Èâ¡Èâ¡Èâ¡Èâ¡È
