Only when Amanda is released from hospital can Carly finally move on with her life. But then a frightened Jake confides a disturbing secret - ‘That’s not my mom’. 

He is convinced the woman who came home from hospital is an imposter. Carly tries to brush this off, but she can see that Amanda’s behavior does seem strange. 

 

And when someone targets Jake, Carly realizes she has to get to the truth of what’s happening.

A decision that leads her step by terrifying step towards a dark secret that will change her life forever.

Not My Mother

Written By Theo Baxter

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Theo Baxter, Inkubator Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 


WOW!! Theo Baxter’s books keep getting better and better! I absolutely adored his latest fast paced suspenseful psychological thriller Not My Mother! This is a book that will really keep you on your toes! It is a definite must read. 


Within the first line of the book I was drawed into the storyline as the beginning was so intense! I knew right from that first page that I was going to love this book and I did!


Jake pulled hard on my heart strings big time! Such a young kid dealing so much with his parents and Carley. No child should have to feel all the feels he did. 


I was team Carly all along!! I totally empathize with the relationship she had with Nelson as I was in a similar one years ago. The more I learned about Nelson and how he treated Carly, Jake and Amanda the more I despised him. Oh there were times I was yelling at my Kindle because of him! 


The whole time I am reading this I questioned is Amanda really that dumb?! Hello her husband has been cheating on you for years, she is taking care of your child, and you are clueless about who she really is to him?! For this fact and many other reasons Amanda irked me! 


This is another book that reminds me that being single is not so bad after all! 


Carly’s career as an artist interested me especially the fact that she designed book covers. 


Oh there were shocking jaw dropping moments that left me absolutely speechless! So many wicked twists, turns and unbelievable outcomes to everything going on. My main question is how did Theo come up with this storyline! It was brilliant!

Thank you for inviting me,’ says the woman at the door. I’ve never seen her before, but she pushes past me and throws her arms around my husband’s neck. I’m frozen in shock. Who is she?

When I hear her name, the world begins to spin around me. 
Alice – my husband’s exThe one who broke his heart. But my husband swears he didn’t ask her to join us in our remote cottage in theHighlands, so why is she here?

One of them is lying to me. Shivers run up my spine as I think about my two little blonde-haired daughters who are excitedly exploring the house upstairs. They’re just eight and six, have I brought them somewhere dangerous? My skin prickles when I remember the cold look Alice threw my way and how she walked into this house as if she belonged here.

But before I can confront Alice, a huge storm hits and our power goes out. I’m down in the basement trying to fix it when I hear the lock click. I’m trapped.
 I scream to be let out, but Alice whispers through the keyhole: ‘No.’

My heart thuds hard against my ribcage, but I have to stay calm. Because I know something Alice doesn’t. She has no idea who she’s dealing with and she doesn’t know what I’ve done to keep my family safe.

After all this time, I won’t let her take what’s mine…

This unbelievably gripping psychological thriller will keep you speeding through the pages, with your heart racing, until you reach the final jaw-dropping twist. If you absolutely loved Gone GirlThe Housemaid or The Perfect Marriage, you will be utterly hooked!
