The New Son by Iain Maitland

Thank you, @zooloosBT and @iainmaitl, and for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The New Son is a psychological thriller. The story about Nina who had to give her son up when she was younger, and now she lives with a controlling husband and his daughter who hates her but then her son Liam shows up. While I was reading The New Son, I really felt for Nina, she suddenly has her son back but she can't tell her new family due to them judging her. Nina character is quite weak and feeble, and there were times I wish she would stand up for her self against Chole and Gary. While I was reading The New Son I had my suspicious about Liam.Questions like Why come back now, is he the person Nina thinks he is. I felt I was questioning my self constantly to work out the characters and the plot. There is a good twist at the end that I didnt see coming. A good read 4 stars.
