Synopsis – The Good Parents
They offered her everything she wanted… they wanted everything she had.
Pastry chef Brittany Young is still grieving for her recently deceased twin when she realizes she is pregnant. Certain she is in no shape to care for a baby, she feels utterly trapped.
Salvation arrives in the form of a wealthy couple, John and Angela Dalton. They offer to adopt the child and raise it as their own. Brittany will come and work for them in their luxurious villa during the pregnancy.
But there is something off about the Daltons. John’s gentle demeanor has a sinister edge, and Angela’s erratic behavior grows more threatening by the day. A series of accidents that can’t be mere coincidence forces Brittany to ask a terrifying question.
Is someone trying to harm her and her unborn child?
As the truth begins to emerge, Brittany realizes she’s trapped in a deadly game.
Can she uncover the Daltons’ dark secret before it’s too late?
Or will her dream job become her worst nightmare?

My Review
The Good Parents: a shocking psychological thriller by Jessica Huntley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this psychological thriller. The book reads as two different books. The first third, which is background, introduces us to the main character and the issues she was dealing with. I very much enjoyed this part of the book. Truthfully, I would have enjoyed the story even if it had continued without becoming a thriller. I was very interested in how the issues with the main character would unfold.
The thriller aspects were somewhat predictable and I was able to guess some things early on but it did not change the enjoyment of the read.
This was my first book by this author but I will definitely read other things written by this author.
