I received an advance review copy of the audiobook Like a Mother by Mina Hardy from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media in exchange for feedback. Thank you!
I love when a thriller has plot twists and reveals that are unexpected but not unbelievable, and this book delivered on that for me! I really enjoyed the story’s tension and liked Sarah as a main character. 
One thing I would have put in the plot description of this book is that it has major religious themes. A significant amount of time is spent discussing Judaism and Christianity and how they are practiced by some of the characters. 
For me, the biggest issue with this book was the audiobook’s narrator. I found her narration difficult to get used to. My cat was startled awake by one of the narrator’s imitations of a child’s voice- the first time he’s ever reacted to an audiobook. 
Overall, I would recommend this book to thriller fans, particularly those interested in religion.
