Book Synopsis:
Flora always dreamed of the day she’d become a mother. But some dreams turn into nightmares.
Flora and Neil are happily married, but they can’t have children so decide to adopt. And when Flora meets little Beckie it’s love at first sight. Deep in her heart, she knows they’re meant for each other, destined to be mother and daughter.
When Flora officially becomes Beckie’s mum, it’s like a part of her that’s always been missing is finally in place. She is complete, every day filled with purpose and joy.
There’s only one problem. Beckie was taken from her birth family, the Johnsons, because they have a history of violence and criminal behaviour and so are judged to be unfit to care for a child.
But the Johnsons don’t agree. As far as they’re concerned, Flora has stolen their little girl and they are determined to get her back. They’re very smart, utterly ruthless – and they have a plan. One that will turn Flora’s life into a living hell and push her to the very edge of insanity.
This stunning psychological thriller is perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Mark Edwards, and Teresa Driscoll.

My Review:
Watch Over Me is an enthralling read with a very intriguing storyline.
Firstly I thought the subject matter of this book was very interesting as it definitely gives the reader a different glance into adoption. Considering the awful conditions Becky lives in I wasn’t surprised that she was taken away from her family. Although I can imagine that this happening could be very emotional that didn’t seem to be the grandparents main reason to want to get Becky back. Their relentless and intelligent campaign was quite uncomfortable to witness at times as you wonder who they are actually looking out for. I found myself wondering how low they were prepared to stoop and what they were willing to do in order to get her back.
This is a bit of a slow burner though there is lots happening to keep the reader interested. The tension is slowly increased as the story continues and we learn more about the grandparents past. There are lots of twists and secrets revealed with the ending being incredibly gripping and surprising. I had many ideas about what was going on but was proven wrong which I always enjoy.
Some of the characters speech is written in Scottish dialect which was a little confusing and difficult to read at first though I soon got used to. There is also a lot of swearing in the book which might not be to everyone’s taste.
Overall I thought this was an usual thriller with a very interesting story line and I’d be interested to read more from this author in the future.
Huge thanks to Emma from Damppebble Tours for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
