Thank you to Netgalley and St Martin's Press for the eARC.
I liked this book, but didn't love it. The premise was intriguing and the author did a good job at really creeping me out at times. Delta's thoughts and actions were truly unsettling.
However, I felt like I had to suspend belief a little too much. The Straub family are very successful and very rich. As a parent, I don't believe that they would have a person that they met once, for a short time, babysit their child. Given that they have so much money at their disposal they could definitely use an agency. The speed with which she became a part of their family was also too much - again, they just met and now they are giving her the key to their house to water their plants while they are away? It's not like she was from an agency that vets their employees. The ending was also, unfortunately, predictable.
I would recommend this if you don't mind ignoring things that just wouldn't happen in real life.
