Winter's Child
Sobre este audiolivro
Nichole's whole life has been marked by loss - the loss of her parents, her stillborn daughter, and the chance of Nichole ever having a biological child of her own.
But when a tragedy brings the most bittersweet miracle into their lives, Nichole and Jhon feel as if they have another chance. The miracle is Elizabeth - an innocent girl abandoned by her mother, then robbed of her adoptive parents in a mysterious fire.
Elizabeth is crying out for the love and affection Nichole and Jhon have been so desperate to share. And after taking the little girl in, Nichole knows the three of them will be the perfect family.
However, as the seasons change, so too does Elizabeth's nature. Shy and sweet in the spring, warm and gregarious in summer, she suddenly becomes subdued and anxious in the fall. Then, as the nights grow colder and darker, a fourth side to Elizabeth's nature steps to the forefront.
Manipulative. Cunning. Dangerous.
Soon, Nichole realizes that the dream life she's built stands on nightmarish foundations. To protect those she loves the most, she'll have to go against every instinct and principle she has as a mother.
Recent reviewers have said:
"Everything about Winter's Child is absolutely terrifying."
"I had things to do this week. Time sensitive things that needed my attention. People in my life that needed caring for. Instead, I holed up and speed read this compulsively tantalizing little horror thriller novel. Highly recommend. It's fun, it's creepy, it's unexpected."
"Would you protect this child at all costs no matter what?"
"I loved every second of this thriller. Definitely a must read for anyone looking for a thriller/suspense book."
"Strap on your seatbelt and prepare yourself for one wild rollercoaster of a ride through this story!"
"Excellent book! Such an original story line! I'm struggling to write this review because I do not want to give anything away. You just have to read it for yourself."
Winter's Child is a taut and chilling thriller from Christine Shuck - a gripping page-turner in the tradition of Gillian Flynn, Willow Rose, Jayne Renshaw, and Sarah Denzil.
