Cathy(The Crazy Bookworm) 's Reviews > The Perfect Child

What a thrilling ride that was! I am prewarning you, if you start this book, cancel all of your plans! I can guarantee you that you will not be able to put it down!

I started this book thinking it was going to be just your basic thriller/suspense, but it is far from basic. The Perfect Child delves into the lives of Hannah and Christopher Bauer. A married couple eager to become parents. After a sequence of events, they come to adopt, Janie. The 'perfect' life they had imagined as parents are anything but. It's absolutely horrific. The story is told from 3 perspectives, Hannah's, Christopher's and Pipers(the cps worker). This delivery really added to the intensity of the reading experience. It moved at a perfect pace, drawing out the story as it unfolded but still giving us just enough where we had no choice but to keep flying through the pages. It hooks you until the very end! Excellent writing and superb storytelling. Definitely one of my favourites of the year so far!
