Don't Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders

I started Don’t Let Her Stay by Nicola Sanders a while back, drawn in by the creepy premise. Long-lost stepdaughter pretending to be a perfect angel but gives off weird vibes when alone with stepmom and half sister? Yes, please. But by chapter 10, I was still waiting for something (anything!) to happen. The tension just wasn’t there, and I found myself more interested in reorganizing my pantry than turning pages. Psychological thrillers usually have me hooked by chapter two if not before, not checking how many more chapters I need to suffer through. This one had potential, but it’s a DNF for me. Sorry, long-lost daughter—I'm out.
