I love domestic suspense stories. They pull at the heartstrings and have just the right amount of mystery. I also love that they don't rush to the big reveal. This one is a nanny story so I'm even more interested to read it. I'm a big fan of things having to do with nannies. Give a good evil nanny story and I'm sold. Thanks to @booktrib and @htpbooks for the gifted copy. QOTD: What kind of stories are you secretly infatuated with? FEATURED: Nanny Dearest by Flora Collins 👩‍👧SYNOPSIS👩‍👧 In this compulsively readable novel of domestic suspense, a young woman takes comfort in reconnecting with her childhood nanny after her father's death, until she starts to uncover secrets the nanny has been holding for twenty years. Sue Keller is lost. When her father dies suddenly, she's orphaned in her mid-twenties, her mother already long gone. Then Sue meets Annie. It’s been twenty years, but Annie could never forget that face. She was Sue’s live-in nanny at their big house upstate, and she loved Sue like she was her own. Craving connection and mothering, Sue is only too eager to welcome Annie back into her life; but as they become inseparable once again, Sue starts to uncover the truth about Annie's unsettling time in the Keller house all those years ago, particularly the manner of her departure—or dismissal. At the same time, she begins to grow increasingly alarmed for the safety of the two new charges currently in Annie's care. Told in alternating points of views—Annie in the mid-'90s and Sue in the present day—this taut novel of suspense will keep readers turning the pages right up to the shocking end. #NannyDearest #FloraCollins #books #bookish #bookstagram #reading #thrillers #bookphotos #bookworm #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #tbr #readersofinstagram #paperbacks #booksbooksbooks #literature #newrelease #libros #nannybooks #fiction #HTPBooks #debutnovel #booklover #reader #bookaholic (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXXIBoCr1tk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Wednesday! It’s a bright sunshiney day in NC ☀️ . After spending many weeks reading Christmas stories and fantasy novels - all of which I loved - today, I’m delving back into my beloved thrillers with a debut novel by Flora Collins called Nanny Dearest. It looks like loads of trippy fun. . Do you find you read more or less during the busy holiday season? . It's kind of a mixed bag for me. Some days reading is impossible, but then I will have days where spending the day with a good book is the perfect escape from all people and activities around me. . . . . #nannydearest #floracollins #mirabooks #htpbooks #netgalley #netgalleyreads #thriller #thrillerbooks #thrillerreads #thrillerbook #thrillers #thrillerbooksaddict #domesticthriller #psychologicalthriller #psychologicalthrillers #currentread #currentreads #currentlyreading #currentmood #readingnow #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggerlife #readmore #readmorebooks #readmorebooks📚 #📚 #📖 #📖📚 (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWYRm_NrvjK/?utm_medium=tumblr

continued from here with @nannydearest.

a honey-flavored mouth went up into a smirk. her fingers still grasping the stem of her glass, RED WINE and berries stained her tongue as she took another sip. the woman was something of a MYSTERY, and winter assumed she liked it that was. to ask too many questions, to be curious about what the next thing she is going to do. though winter didn’t want to DEEPLY take the bait, she toyed with the idea as she put her glass down on the wooden table and continued to look at her. UNAFRAID OF EYE CONTACT, winter spoke, ‘—- i don’t think i have much trouble with that. and i have a feeling you don’t, either.  ‘

much trouble with that —- caroline never knew what having a bed to one’s self was. locking eyes with winter, the former actress lifted a glass of champagne until it touched her lips, those same lips that smeared the crystal edge and curled into a smile as she drank. ❝ looks can be deceiving, you know? but you’re correct, i can’t say that i haven’t had more than my fair share of love. ❞ of sex, for caroline hardly ever loved. blood family, yes. close friends, she once had quite a few of those. but lovers came and went, husbands died and somehow, the woman had ended up alone with her grief, sharing drinks with one of the most fascinating strangers she had ever come to meet. ❝ enjoy it while you’re still young and pretty. age, can be such a turn off. ❞

                    ❝ I think they’re sarah sands, ❞ Ashley muttered, running a combat worn finger gently over the purple petals. Sometimes lilacs were hard to tell apart, but he knew French hybrids rather well. He spent more time than he’d like to admit studying flowers in the past. It was a rather uneventful pastime, but it was calming. ❝ Syringa vulgaris, if you fancy scientific names. It matches you well -- the purple, I mean. I can trim it a bit if you want to put them in your hair. I know some people like those uh -- flower crowns, no? I think it’d look nice. ❞

@nannydearest cont. from  💀

she should be more    TRAUMATIZED    by the sight of blood.     but this    violent  world   didn’t give her much to work with anymore.      besides this hotel was    WEIRD.     everything was uneasy and it was going to eat her alive.  AT   LEAST  THAT’S  WHAT  SHE  HOPED.    her eyes glanced up at the man,    all cheekbones and fanfare.   ‘  i just feel bad for the    person whose gonna have to clean this shit up.  ‘     /      3 word meme    (   accepting!   )

a smile sketched its way onto donovan’s lips and he chuckled softly. he wasn’t sure how she was going to react to the sight in front of them, but this was honestly the best reaction he could’ve hoped for. reaching for his silver case, he pulled a cigarette from it and lit it, taking his time exhaling the smoke before he spoke. “thank god for housekeeping,” he smirked. “because i HATE the fucking clean up.” there’s a brief pause before he adds, “was it everything you thought it would be?”
