Welcome to West Street by Nicole Trope is a highly recommended psychological thriller. It must be said that Nicole Troupe can be relied upon to always write a page-turner.
Amanda and her two children have moved into a house, sight unseen, in an attempt to escape her abusive husband. Her husband Mike is abroad on business and will return home to find divorce papers. Amanda's son Jordan, 11, is angry and yelling about the situation while her daughter Kiera, 9, is usually happy but struggling, missing her friends. Amanda is sure that this is the safest place for them to be.
Caroline, a neighbor, is watching the new family's every move. They have secrets on their street and like to keep things quiet. She also likes to have readily available for her use all the information about everyone. Now she needs to find out the secret behind the new family moving to their street.
This is another fast paced, twisty, domestic psychological thriller that will hold your complete attention throughout.
It is full of characters with secrets and you won't know who to trust.
It becomes clear that things may not be what they seem to be but the
question about what is really going on isn't answered until the shocking
ending.
The narrative unfolds through the point-of-view of Amanda and
Caroline. You can feel Amanda's pain and fear over what is going to
happen. Caroline is a completely different character who comes across as
cool as a cucumber but with something to hide. The reliability of all the characters will be in question at some point during the novel.
You may have to suspend disbelief a time or two, but the drama and twists in Welcome to West Street will be worth it. Thanks to Bookouture for providing me with an advance reader's copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.
