Keep Her Safe - Richard Jay Parker 5/5 stars
Here's another book I received from Netgalley and I should point out right away that nothing in this book could really happen. None of it, but Keep Her Safe isn't the type of book you gain anything from, and you don't read it to look like an intellectual. I know it sounds like I'm about to tear this book apart, but no, it's just a warning to those who want a book that does something more than entertain you. The plot is simple enough. Woman comes into kill another woman and things escalate pretty quickly. What would you do to protect your child? Turns out these women would do quite a bit because after all, we love our kids and would do anything to protect them.
So, as soon as things pick up you're going to need to suspend your disbelief for the remainder of the novel. Just strap your self in and enjoy the ride because that's what this is. It's a fast moving thriller that takes you on a thrilling ride
. The characters thankfully are women that you can really get behind. That's important because they're the keys to making this thing work. While Babysitter leads them on a wild goose chase it's important that you like them. They are interesting women who have a bond, and now must work together to get Holly's daughter back. It's a simple plot that moves at a break neck speed. The mystery of course is who is Babysitter, what's his end game? This is the thread that we as readers follow. Parker knows how to write a story filled with action and suspense and while totally implausible, it doesn't really matter because you become invested in the story and want to see how it all turns out.
This is the kind of thriller you just relax and read. The problem is, once you start, you can't stop, so whatever you do, don't read this before going to bed. You won't get much sleep. It's the type of thriller that reminds me a lot of James Patterson in terms of style and how you're just grabbed by the neck and lead along until the end of the book. Solid read and one I highly recommend.
