Just wow. 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.' Nicki's Life of Crime, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Amazing amazing amazing. The Stepchild is brilliantly written. There is every kind of emotion that a person could feel within the plot. I adore Nicole Trope.' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Had me HOOKED from page one. Seriously. It dives right in and is absolutely unputdownable. Everyone has secrets and no one is spilling. It's twisty-turny and full of holy shiiiii moments. The story flows fast and furious. There's no downtime in this one, each page more gripping than the last. You'll definitely want to clear your schedule, because you'll be finishing this in one sitting. Off to add all of Nicole Trope's books to my TBR.' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐&#11088.…
