It seemed only five minutes ago that Richard went to the station to pick up Chloe, and now they were here. I was so excited. Finally, I would meet my stepdaughter for the first time, and Chloe would meet her baby sister Evie.
Richard was over the moon that his daughter wanted to come back into his life. ‘You’ll love her,’ he'd said, beaming. ‘She’s very sweet. She just had a wobble about me marrying again, but that’s over now.’
Well, she was going to find out she had nothing to worry about. I’d been fantasising non-stop about the two of us becoming close. I had visions of us baking together while Richard was at work, chatting about her boyfriends, her studies, what kind of job she’d like to do. I would be someone she could rely on, someone she could talk to when she would have spoken to her mum if she’d still been alive.
Anyway, let’s just say things haven't quite worked out that way.
Whenever we’re alone, Chloe makes it clear that she hates me. But in front of her father, she’s a perfect little angel. Richard says I’m not giving her a chance, but he doesn’t see what I see. I don’t trust Chloe, and I certainly won’t leave her alone with Evie.
Because I know something isn’t right with Chloe, and I will do everything possible to protect my family.
Before it’s too late…

This book has been on my TBR for the longest time and I am so happy that I finally picked it up.
Dont Let Her Stay is such a fantastic, thrilling and mind-boggling read. When I say I felt like I was being gaslit throughout the entire book, I mean it. I had no idea who to trust or to believe and that's what makes a great Thriller.
I loved that this kept me guessing and had me invested from the very last page. I didn't want to put this book down. This is such a great read if you're wanting to get into the genre or if you're in a reading slump.
The amount of times I wanted to reach into the book and shake these characters... No words.
I can't wait to check out what else this author writes!
The gaslighting in this book is soooooooo annoying. Took me 4 days to complete this book bc I kept on putting it down
This book has got a personality like Chloe with all its ups and downs. Mostly downs. It picked up only after 70% in. And the writing feels a little... off. All the characters are annoying af, though. Especially the main character, Joanne. Joanne is a little too stupid, a little too self absorbed and a whole lot annoying.
