Nanny Needed
Nanny Needed: A Novel | Georgina Cross
8 posts | 11 read | 10 to read
A young woman takes a job as a nanny for an impossibly wealthy family, thinking she's found her entr e into a better life--only to discover instead she's walked into a world of deception and dark secrets. Nanny needed. Discretion is of the utmost importance. Special conditions apply. When Sarah Larsen finds the notice, posted on creamy card stock in her building's lobby, one glance at the exclusive address tells her she's found her ticket out of a life of long hours waiting tables for little pay. At the interview, the job seems like a dream come true: a glamorous penthouse apartment on the Upper West Side; a salary that adds several zeroes to her current income; the beautiful, worldly mother of her charge, who feels more like a friend than a potential boss. She's overjoyed when they offer her the position, signing the NDA without a second thought. These are important people, after all--they can't be too careful about who they hire. In retrospect, the notice in her lobby was less an engraved invitation than a waving red flag. For there is something very strange about the Bird family. Why does the beautiful Mrs. Bird never leave the apartment alone? And what happened to the nanny before her, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances? It soon becomes clear that the odd behaviors Sarah initially dismissed as the eccentricities of the wealthy are hiding something much darker and more sinister. But by then it's too late for Sarah to seek help--she's become complicit in their secrets. And, after all, discretion is of the utmost importance.

Pick-ish 3½⭐
This is more of a strangely weird kind of plot than a cleverly crafted one. And it jumps right into the crazy rather quickly and then turns rather sinister…but still stays firmly planted in bizarro-land. It definitely didn‘t lack imagination. While the ending did have an air of unbelievability it still gave something resembling closure as to WTF was going on. It was oddly worthwhile.

This book was a different theme for a thriller, and clever! It might be easy to figure out eventually, but it still grips you from start to finish.

This is most certainly not your typical nanny book! You may think if you‘ve heard one story, you‘ve heard them all, but trust me : this one is different!

That final twist shocked me!

Sarah is making more money than before, only has to work about five hours per day, and in a beautiful home, but why has it already been two days and she has yet to meet the child..?

Don‘t miss out on this new release!

Happy Publication Day to this wild and quick read!! Financially crippled by medical debt in the wake of the aunt who raised her‘s death, Sarah thinks her problems are closer to being solved after finding a flyer for a nannying job in a swankier part of her beloved NYC. It‘s not long before the real job reveals itself to be too good to be true. The plot‘s unpredictability ramps up from there and I found myself unable to put it down!

This was one of the most chilling and twisted books I‘ve read!😱 When Sarah becomes a nanny for 4-yr old Patty, she has no idea what dark secrets lurk beneath the elegant veneer of this family. And oh, the conclusion blew me away. 5 stars! Thanks to #NetGalley for this ARC!

KristenDuck Ahhhh I‘m reading this book next month!! Can‘t wait! 3y
