The Foster Child by Jenny Blackhurst
4.0
Just the creepy little thriller to curl up with on a lazy weekend. It took me a while to get into the book, but once I got an idea of the protagonists, it was pretty gripping. The story mostly keeps you guessing as to whether you're reading a supernatural thriller or a plain old psyho thriller. I won't spoil the suspense.
There were parts that were predictable, but that twist at the end makes you forget everything. The only thing I didn't particularly like was Imogen Reid, one of the protagonists. While it's true that she's a complex character with a back story, the part where she seems to be pressurised into having a child (I won't say if she was or not) felt uncomfortable to me. I wish this could have been a stronger pro-adoption story, but of course, it's not my decision.
