⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️OK. This. One. Is. AMAZING! If I could give it ten stars, I would! I picked up this domestic suspense thriller expecting it to be like many others, but what I got was something much grittier, more emotional, and way more personal than I could ever have imagined! The Last Nanny is what happens when Rosemary Willhide invites you into a beautifully decorated house for a behind the scenes look at the intimate details of a new mom’s life and the rollercoaster of emotions she is going through–then locks the door behind you leaving you feeling as if you are experiencing everything right along with her.
Piper Young’s life is seemingly perfect from the outsiders perspective. A new mom to an adorable baby girl, a mother-in-law any woman would dream of having that treats you as one of her own, and a best friend who is ready to be by your side through anything! But this picture-perfect home holds a much less than perfect philandering husband who Piper will seemingly never be able to trust to be faithful let alone a partner to rely on for help with their child he insisted on having. Just when things start to appear impossible to manage, in walks Lily Stevens–the nanny every mom dreams of finding. But in this house, nothing is ever that simple.
Willhide immerses you in every moment of Piper’s paranoia, trust issues, and questioning of her own maternal instincts. Every chapter felt like being in a room with the walls slowly closing in on me with tension so thick I felt stuck. Piper, with her slowly unraveling mind, knows something is off, but no one believes her. Heck she doesn’t even know if she can believe herself.
This isn’t just another domestic thriller–it’s a psychological storm–one that’s deadly. Also, Willhide crafts probably one of the most unique uses of multiple POVs that I’ve seen used in a book yet. If you’ve ever felt like you were one crisis away from falling apart, if you love thrillers with twists you definitely will never see coming, then this one’s for you. The Last Nanny wasn’t just entertainment for me. Willhide got me. She tapped into emotions I hadn’t even acknowledged yet myself as a recent new mom.
