Home is where the heart is, or where the horror begins. Nicola Sanders� Don’t Let Her Stay proves that sometimes, opening your door to family isn’t the safest choice.



Joanne seemingly has it all: a loving husband, Richard; a beautiful baby, Evie; and a picture perfect life in the English countryside. But when Richard’s estranged daughter, Chloe, suddenly reappears and asks to move in, things take a sinister turn. Chloe plays the role of the perfect daughter in front of her father, but behind closed doors, Joanne starts to question her sanity. Is Chloe really trying to make amends, or is something far more twisted at play?

Sanders masterfully creates an atmosphere of mental tug of war, where every scene feels like something is lurking just beneath the surface. Joanne’s unreliable narration, due to her past struggles and postpartum state, keeps the reader guessing. Can we trust what she sees? Or is she losing her grip on reality?

The novel is a rollercoaster ride in every sense, one minute you think you’ve got it all figured out, and the next, the floor drops beneath you. And just when you think you’ve reached the final twist, Sanders does it again. The ending? Let’s just say my jaw was on the floor.

If you love a thriller that keeps you second guessing until the very last sentence, Don’t Let Her Stay is an absolute must read. Fans of Frieda McFadden and Shalini Boland will eat this one up, just be warned, it might mess with your head.

🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢-five out of five rollercoasters because this book is a nonstop thrill ride until the very last sentence.
