Review: Kindle Unlimited

She thought they wanted her baby. But they won’t stop there.

Roz is young, penniless and pregnant. All she wants is to be the perfect mother to her child, but the more she thinks about her own chaotic upbringing, the more certain she is that the best life for her baby is as far away as possible from her hometown in Ireland.

Determined to do the right thing, Roz joins an elite adoption service and can’t believe her luck. Within days she is jetting to New York to meet a celebrity power couple desperate for a child of their own. Sheridan and Daniel are wealthy and glamorous—everything Roz isn’t. Her baby will never go hungry, and will have every opportunity for the perfect life. But soon after Roz moves into their plush basement suite, she starts to suspect that something darker lurks beneath the glossy surface of their home.

When Roz discovers she isn’t the first person to move in with the couple, and that the previous woman has never been seen since, alarm bells start ringing. As the clock ticks down to her due date, Roz realises her unborn baby may be the only thing keeping her alive, and that despite her best intentions, she has walked them both into the perfect nightmare…

So this is the book I ended up being selected for NetGalley, but I didn't download it in time. I saw it on Kindle Unlimited and snagged this baby right on up. I enjoyed this author's writing and the suspense she brought to the story. We are introduced to Roz, who is just living her life daily when she becomes pregnant; she knows she won't be able to take care of the baby. She can barely take care of herself, so what does she do? She signs up online to find a couple willing to adopt her child. Everything seems good I mean, this couple is considered a diamond couple. Nothing could go wrong. 
As we dive deeper into our story, we discover that just because you have money doesn't mean you are the best person. Things are hidden behind closed doors, and Roz will find out just how much is hidden in this couple's home. Especially in the basement. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end as I kept hoping to see if Roz and her baby would be rescued. I loved how her friend never gave up on Roz and just had that feeling of something being off. The surprise of who the father of the baby is, well, that was one I was not expecting and was like, oh damn girl. 
The only issue I had with the book was when it was mentioned how big the baby was; I would have to go and google to make sure because it didn't sound right. I assume there is a difference between the UK and the US? Which was fine, but it may need to be adjusted for those that will be anal about it. I plan on reading more by this author as I do like her style and suspense.
