About the book

Long blonde hair. Sparkling dark eyes. Perfect pearly-white teeth. I've never met her before but I know exactly who she is as I spot her through the crowds of the terminal. Because our new guest is the spitting image of the daughter we lost. And that's exactly why I chose her.From the moment our exchange student Tanya comes into our home, I feel like my daughter has come back to life. Tanya, with her long blonde hair and slender frame, looks so much like Anabel that sometimes I can almost pretend she didn't die in that tragic accident.Tanya really is the perfect guest - kind, polite, and always happy to help me in the kitchen. At last, a member of the family who compliments my beautiful house and enjoys my homemade dinners. And when she asks questions about my life, I feel I've finally found someone I can confide in.My younger teenage daughter, Paige, isn't so happy about our guest. She thinks it's weird that Tanya looks like Anabel, and she hates it when she wears her sister's old clothes. But then again Paige and Anabel always had a strained relationship... And I'm certain that having another teenage girl in the house will help heal our family.But now Paige is insisting I check Tanya's records. She's become convinced Tanya isn't who she says she is. But I learnt a long time ago that sometimes it's best not ask questions you don't want to know the answer to. And I definitely don't want Paige pulling this thread... because I'm growing suspicious that our new guest Tanya might have a secret. But I'm certain it is nothing in comparison to mine...The absolutely unputdownable, page-turning and twisty psychological thriller that will have you guessing until the very last page. Perfect for readers who love gripping suspense and fans of Freida McFadden's The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train and Colleen Hoover's Verity.

    Sie ist der perfekte Gast. Doch wer ist sie wirklich?

    Die britische Austauschschülerin Tanya zieht bei der Familie Merritt in Los Angeles ein, um nach dem Unfalltod der Tochter Anabel einen Neuanfang zu ermöglichen. Der Schreibstil ist leicht, und der Perspektivwechsel zwischen Mutter und Tochter sorgt für viel Spannung. Besonders interessant ist, dass Tanya Anabel verblüffend ähnlich sieht und sich zunehmend manipulativ verhält, was vor allem bei Paige Misstrauen weckt. Auch wenn man das Ende erahnen konnte, blieb das Finale fesselnd. Der Cliffhanger macht Lust auf einen zweiten Teil!

    Dieses Buch wurde mega gehyped, aber ich bin mir unsicher, was ich davon halten soll. 🤔 ✨ Die Spannung war da, der Schreibstil auch flüssig, aber die Charaktere? Einfach nur naiv! 🙄 ✨

    Besonders die Mutter Natalie und wie sie mit dem mysteriösen Gast Tanya umgeht... unrealistisch! 😤 ✨ Was denkt ihr? Macht die Naivität der Figuren die Story aus oder hat es euch auch frustriert? ----- Mein Gesamteindruck: 3⭐ Protagonisten:innen: 3.5⭐ Spannung: 4⭐ Geschichte: 4⭐ Cover: 5⭐ Schreibstil: 5⭐ Gelesen im April/Mai '24

Diese Tanya ist mir sehr suspekt. Die Gefühle anderer sind ihr egal und sie drängelt sich überall zwischen
