The Temp is an absorbing domestic drama/thriller that I devoured in a day. I really enjoyed and am looking forward to reading more books by the author in the future. 
Rating: ★★★★
​Release Date: January 29, 2019
Genre: Domestic Thriller.

Series: None. Standalone. 
Pages: 432 pages
Format: eBook. ARC. 
Wanted: Assistant to provide maternity cover for high-powered TV producer. Must be bright, creative, with killer instincts.
 
Emma would do anything to work for the woman who has the job she wants. Carrie is at the top of her game, with a dream career, a baby on the way, and a handsome screenwriter husband. For Emma, with parents who don’t understand her ambition and a serious misstep behind her, this temp position might be her last chance.
 
Carrie has given up more than anyone knows to get to the top of a ruthless business. She won’t give up this baby too. But with Emma filling in for her at the office, her perfect life starts to unravel.  Her bank account is inexplicably overdrawn, her husband seems strangely distant and colleagues are all too happy to take Emma’s creative direction. Carrie finds herself dying to get back to work . . . until a letter left at her door changes everything. 
Trust and fear trade places in a love triangle that defies readers’ expectations at every turn.

​Release Date: January 29, 2019
Genre: Domestic Drama/Thriller
Actual Rating: 3.75 stars

The Temp is an absorbing domestic drama/thriller that I devoured in a day. While I didn't love the book I did find myself compulsively reading it until I hit the end. The book had me absorbed and I didn't want to stop until the final twist. One of the main reasons I have it a 3.75 stars (rounded up to 4) is because everything develops so slowly. Sure, it works for the story but I think had it been paced a little faster I would have enjoyed it more. What bogged it down for me was the technicalities of being a TV producer and writer being talked about over and over again. Other than this, I think the characters were developed well, and while I didn't connect with them on a deep level, they were interesting enough to hold my attention for the entire book. The twist is killer too. I think many people will enjoy it. I certainly didn't see it coming!

If your looking for a propulsive thriller that will slowly wind you up until the incredible twist, this is a book for you in 2019. I'm excited to see how the authors writing started and plan to read her debut in the near future.

★★★★
