The Adoption: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist
£1.90
Dani and her husband Tate’s life together is almost perfect. But Dani is haunted by guilt for causing a terrible car accident that left her unable to have children. She can’t remember why she was driving so fast that day or where she was going. Her therapist says she should try to move on.
So when their application to adopt is accepted, Dani sobs with joy. As perfect little Willow nestles in her arms, Dani looks at Tate’s loving smile and knows he will always provide for his family, no matter what.
When Dani sees a woman staring as she pushes Willow’s stroller around the safe, gated Florida community where they live, she tells herself it’s simply an admiring passer-by. After all, Dani herself used to watch the local moms and wish she was in their shoes.
But when Dani wakes in the night to find Willow’s crib empty, their perfect life becomes a nightmare.
In her frantic distress for her daughter, Dani’s memories of the accident flash through her mind. And with a jolt she realises: everyone around her has been lying about that day.
Will Dani find out the truth before it’s too late for her baby girl?
Or will facing her own dark secrets tear them all apart?
A totally addictive and heart-stopping read with a truly mind-blowing twist. Fans of The Woman in the Window, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us won’t be able to put down this incredible thriller from bestselling author Jenna Kernan.

Had me hooked from page one. It had me guessing all the way to the last chapter. If you love mysteries this is a must read.
by Kathy
Love this author, but not one of her better books.
by Kindle Customer
This book was very slow to start and very repetitive as the author seemed to think the reader continually needed to be reminded of the main characters physical health condition.
The story then just dragged on and was predictable and unbelievable.
I kept with it for the “jaw dropping twist “, but due to the predictablity of the story, there was no twist.
I think some people might enjoy the book but it’s definitely a no from me.

Shorter chapters would make this a much better read .. unless you have hours to read .. great story just

I started this book being a bit unsure if it was my type of book. As I tend to go with police procedures. After a couple of chapters I became interested in Danni. Having just come home from a psychiatric hospital. Wondering why she had been in one. I still being honest I wasn’t sure if I would actually read the whole book or not. However boy am I glad I did, I was hooked on the book. Rooting for Danni all the way through. Her husband being a up and coming judge he was already but he felt it was never enough. So he stands for another promotion in the world of power. I felt it was at the neglect of Danni. Her ever loving husband is not what he seems. I was surprised by the ending I was definitely not expecting that. Now I am going to read more books by this author. Well written not too complex to follow. It was actually a extremely good book I believe it’s definitely worth reading you will not be disappointed.

I am usually quick to guess how a story is going to progress, but this one had me changing my mind so many times! Right to the End
by Karen
Another good storyline that wasn’t quite pulled off – disappointing end which seemed like a quick finish to hit a deadline
