Book two in the No Child of Mine trilogy and this was everything a middle book should be. It held its own in terms of plot, the characters developed and gained more depth from book one and there was no filler. I wish more middle books were like this in trilogies. There's nothing I can really say about this as it would be full of spoilers for the first book but this is a real roller-coaster on your emotions. Trigger warnings all over this trilogy for child abuse, some parts of this are not easy t...
This is a long book, but to be honest I enjoyed it and the story is so good. I binge listened to it all day Saturday to get it finished. While I was a little annoyed by the decidedly unNZ accent by the narrator, she did so well on every other count I can't really complain.This story had me tearing up, I hated the little excerpts from Chloe - because they were so sad. I loved Anthony, you might say he was too good to be true, but in actual fact there are people like him, I know. So Charlotte was
This was an excellent book with many twists and turns well worth reading and a real tear jerker from start to end. Charlotte is a social worker and wants to forget her past and look to the future with chloe who is only 3 years old and had a terrible life so far. There nightmare returns and they are separated but can they get through it all and be together again or is this never going to happen. A must read.
This book was every bit as wonderful and heart-wrenching as the first one in the series and I'm already looking forward to reading the next one!
a really good heartrending read. the bond that Chloe and Charlotte had was definitely unbreakable. I
WonderfulCouldn't put it down. I love happy endings. So much suspense, sorrow, and happiness. Makes me want to go to New Zealand.
WARNING: This novel is about child abuse Don’t let me go is the sequel of No child of mine. This novel is as heartbroken as the first.It is not an easy read, far from it, I had to take breaks and couldn’t help myself to care for Charlotte and Chloe. In many occasions, I wanted to hug them tight and tell them that everything will be alright. This is a story of abuse, lost and love in the purest sense between a mother and a daughter. Charlotte and Chole are living in New Zealand, surrounding by th...
What do you do when your good intentions are not seen as such in the eyes of the legal system?From the beautiful countryside of Te Puna in New Zealand to the inclement weather of the United Kingdom, child abuse to child kidnapping, this story takes us on a compelling journey in which we get to see first hand the guilt suffered by one woman and the pain and abject fear suffered by a young child who has no control over her own destiny.Charlotte Nicholls, still trying to come to grips with her own
Thick, rich with lots of juicy words and lovely descriptions.I love any book that is thick, and this one just blew my socks off. I couldn't have asked for me! I didn't want to put it down, until the last word. Charlotte and her daughter, Chloe, are starting over in a new place, as well as starting over after many years of being estranged from Charlotte's mom, Anna. Don't let me go, is rightly titled. What a gripper.I couldn't put it down to save my life! What secrets lie dormant after so many ye...
I give this 3.5 stars. It started really slow and and was really WAY to detailed for me, I found myself skimming a lot. There is a term or statement referenced several times in the book ( a key part, so can't much) that just made my stomach turn each time. But the story itself was good, and as I got into, I did want to keep reading to see how it ended (if my prediction was correct!).
You would think that after 20 books, Susan's editor/s would have encouraged/taught her that "less is more" - of course not.Another novel that feels like it has swallowed a ten part mini series with every piece of dialogue, exposition, interior monologue articulated and then described for good measure.Honestly at the end of the book, I don't care anymore what happens to Chloe.
I'm glad there was a sequel to No child of mine. This answered a lot of questions and kept me thinking and questioning my own opinions in a situation like Charlotte faced. I'm excited to see there is a 3rd book being published in this series.
This is my first book by this author. It hooked me at the very beginning and I could not put this book down.
I must admit I found it difficult to get into this novel - perhaps not helped by reading it in small bursts. The New Zealand setting made it seem an idyllic place to live, but I did not "take" to Charlotte and found the many characters introduced in the early chapters confusing and the oft repeated sentiments on Chloe's background (very understated at this point) began to get irritating. It took me until Charlotte's arrest and engrossing court case to become closely involved in the storyine, and...
I hope there's a "three-quel!"
Charlotte and Chloe seem like any other mother and daughter making a new start in New Zeland. Though Charlotte has been apart from her birth mother most of her life, the beginning of the book sees them forging a new friendship and Charlotte loving being part of an extended loving family. Chloe clearly has had some traumatic event in her life, but it isn't fully revealed. Unfortunately, her new step brother Rick and her get a bit too close for Katie, (Rick's girlfriend). Not knowing her fiancé is...
