Today I am on the tour for The New Son by Iain Maitland, thank you to Zoé at Zooloos Book Tours for organising it and inviting me to take part and thank you to the author and the publisher for my copy.
Pages: 265
Synopsis: Nina always wanted a child of her own. Now she has one.
Nina feels trapped. Her partner Gary is controlling, his daughter hates her, and she’s recently suffered a miscarriage. Just as her life seems hopeless, Alex, the son she gave up for adoption nearly 20 years ago, shows up at her door. Somehow, he has tracked her down.
Their reunion is everything Nina has hoped for. Now she has a child of her own, someone in the family who really cares about her.
But honeymoons are brief and this one is no exception.
Far from welcoming him, Gary is hostile to Alex and as their arguments become increasingly vicious, it soon becomes clear that Nina must choose between them.
But how will the abusive Gary react if she rejects him? And can she trust Alex? Is he really the loving son he seems to be – or does he have a sinister agenda of his own?
My Thoughts: this was a very well written psychological thriller, poor Nina doesn’t have the best life, her husband is controlling, her relationship with her step daughter is rocky at best and she’s just had a miscarriage.. which unfortunately has made the past rear it’s ugly head, she wishes things could have been different & then the past knocks on her door, could this be the chance she’s been waiting for?
We soon learn that if something seems too good to be true it normally is… & it’s a lesson that Nina will have to learn the hard way.
There are so many twists and turns in this book that you never know wether you’re coming or going, the writing is addictive yet utterly chilling, it’s one of those books that you can see the bad stuff coming before it happens but yet you’re powerless to stop it, my heart was in my mouth the last half of the book!
Will definitely be looking out for more from this author in the future.
