It’s a normal afternoon when I walk out the patio doors of our kitchen to check on Mia, my stepdaughter, who is swimming in our backyard pool. But she’s gone. My heart stops when I see the back gate is open, her pink, fluffy towel lying folded on a chair. I was just feet away. Why didn’t I hear her scream? Who took our little girl?
My husband can’t understand how I could have let his daughter disappear. And when the police come asking questions, I wish I could wind back time to that normal afternoon when I was cooking lasagna for my family, Mia’s favorite. I can tell the officers don’t believe me: they’ve cast me as the evil stepmother.
I just wish I could understand the messages I’ve found from my husband on Mia’s phone: I’m so sorry, I still love you. And why his wedding ring is found at the bottom of the pool after Mia disappeared. He never told me it was missing. What else is he hiding?
But the detective keeps asking me where I was during those ten minutes when Mia vanished. And I can’t tell her my secret. From the way she’s looking at me, I know she thinks I did something to my stepdaughter. Mia and I haven’t always been that close and sometimes she drives me nuts, just like any normal teenager, but I would never hurt her.
I just need you to believe me.
A twisty novel packed with unputdownable suspense about the power and damage of secrets we hide. Perfect for anyone who was totally hooked by The Mother-in-Law, Kerry Fisher and Big Little Lies.

First, I want to thank Georgina Cross, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
You must put Georgina Cross’s latest book The Stepdaughter on your TBR list! Out of all the 147 books I have read and reviewed this is on my top 10 favorite list. It was so suspenseful, thrilling, at times creepy and shocking that Georgina had me glued to my Kindle as you could not put it down.
The mastermind who did the cover of the book is a genius!! It totally captured the essence of the book. It was one of the hooks that got me interested in reading it.
Georgina is a fantastic storyteller and has a true gift in this genre. Her storylines were dramatic, intense, creepy in a weird way, shocking, and the deeper you got into the story the more your mind was blown.
I loved how Georgina went back into the past and we learned more how Tripps first wife passed. We also learned How he met his present wife.
My heart strings were pulled on the fact that Mia lost her Mom at a young age. What saddened me more was how she passed. Suffering from Migraines I always am in fear of that happening to me.
