Almost Mother

About the Book

The most dangerous being on the planet is a mother protecting her young.

Two years ago, my husband vanished, leaving me a single mom with two babies, a thousand questions, and zero answers.

Now, I’m drowning.

I’m juggling work deadlines I can’t meet and bills I can’t pay, pretending to the cliquey supermoms that I’m keeping it together. In reality, my toddler is sick, my nerves are frayed, and I haven’t slept in what feels like forever.

Until, finally, I do.

When I wake up, my daughter is gone. Snatched from her crib while I slept.

There’s no ransom. Only a message.
“Motherhood is a privilege. If you want your daughter back, you’ll have to earn her.”

Five tasks.

Five chances to prove I deserve to be her mother.

Each one more dangerous than the last.

Somewhere out there, my daughter is trapped in someone’s game.
And I’m done playing by their rules.

Mira Shaw and K.S. Reid deliver suspense, betrayal, and a mother’s terror in Almost Mother—book four of The Final Chapter Book Club series, that will chill readers of Verity and The Housemaid.
