I just finished The nursery by Sue Watson a few days ago and it's truly a gripping, twisty turny thriller! It can be found here on Amazon, Waterstones and Barnes and noble.
Synopsis
Then: Morning light shines into the nursery, casting shadows across the pale pink walls and wooden cot in the middle of the room. She opens the door expecting to hear the soft coo of her daughter Sofia stretching herself awake. But the room is silent. The cot is empty. Her little girl has vanished…
Now: Twelve years have passed, but Emily will never forget the night her life changed forever and she’s happy to have her daughter back beside her. A teenager now, Sofia – who was once a star student – is getting into trouble at school and she’s started asking questions about when she was a baby, but Emily can’t tell her what really happened the night she went missing. Nobody would understand why Emily did what she did, and if anyone ever found out, she could lose her daughter forever.
But when Emily catches Sofia messaging a stranger online, her heart pounds in her chest as she reads the last message received.
Your mother isn’t who you think she is.
Days later, Emily returns home to find the house silent. She checks every room but Sofia has vanished, again. She shudders as she remembers that night in the nursery. Has her past finally caught up with her? And is she already too late to save her precious daughter?
A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Woman in the Window.

This book was so unnerving, I could feel Emily's anxiety, paranoia and tension emanating off the pages, and it had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation. The being watched aspect is something that truly makes a book a thriller to me.
It was filled with twists, shocking reveals and oh so much drama ( some brought on by side characters)
All Emily wished for as a happy, connected family who was there for her, but learned that you really do need to be careful what you wish for.
All in all an enjoyable book, with everything I look for in a thriller.
Thank you @netgalley and @bookouture for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions.
