The Stepson

My husband has a son I never knew about. Now he’s in our home. And I don’t know if I’m safe.

I thought I had the perfect life. A beautiful home. A handsome, successful husband. He’s a decade older than me, but doesn’t look it.

Then TJ showed up.

He's eighteen, claims to be my husband's son, and needs a place to stay. I didn’t even know Bennett had a child, let alone one so close to my own age. But he’s family, and I have no choice but to let him in.

The next day, a local girl is found dead in our community pool. And guess who’s the prime suspect? TJ.

He insists he’s innocent. Bennett defends him. But something feels off, and I’m starting to question everything — my husband, my stepson . . . even myself.

Can I trust the people I love? Or is the nightmare just beginning?

Please note this book was previously published as My Husband’s Son.

This absolutely addictive psychological thriller packed full of twists is perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Freida McFadden, Valerie Keogh and Cole Baxter.

Interesting plot twists

It has a horrible narration and inner monologue of main character, but interesting plot twists, easy to get through if you can get over the narration.

Curve ball

I thought this book was really interesting and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the character progression without a feeling too dull in the moment where the tension would build and you wondered like who actually did it and then the end just throws you completely off. Definitely worth a liste,n great book.

Captivating and filled with twists

A very good listen that I literally couldn't stop listening to. Every moment had my ears perked up and chomping at the bit for the next twist and turn.

good thing it was free...

It was very predictable, even the twist. The author repeated a lot of the same phrases, which annoys me.
The narrator doesn't change her voice between female characters which sometimes makes it hard to tell who is speaking, but especially to distinguish between the MC thoughts vs spoken words.
The plot is also just.. weird. Why is this 28/29 year old so set on defending a kid she's known for a day. And why does she try to act so maternal when he is a whole adult?
Why does she tell her "best friend " neighbor all of her secrets when they haven't known each other long?

Incredible

Please finish the epilogue, the main twist that had me shook is there. Loved it so much
