The Push by Ashley Audrain

The arrival of baby Violet was meant to be the happiest day of my life. A fresh start.

But as soon as I held her in my arms, I knew something wasn't right.


I have always known that the women in my family weren't meant to be mothers.


My husband Fox says I'm imagining it, but she's different with me. Something feels very wrong.


Is it her? Or is it me?


Is she the monster? Or am I?


I’ve had this on my tbr for ages, why did I wait so long to read it! What a book, Ashley Audrain has written a corker, which has you guessing all the way through. You can never seem to tell if what Blythe is thinking is true or not, whether her child hates her and is evil, or her head is all over the palce and she is imagining everything. I loved her bond with Sam when he came along, and the relationship between Violet and her father. I also liked the back stories too, we learn a lot about Blythes childhood, and her mothers childhood. 


This was a brilliant story and i can’t wait to dig into Ms Audrain’s new book The Whispers.
