The third nanny is my first book by this author but I cannot wait another second to dive into more! Janey is desperate to find out what might’ve happened to her sister who disappeared many years before. Julia and Max are in a bind and have quite the relationship with many layers, betrayal, and complications. While this story may seem clear-cut and you might think that you have it figured out I promise you will not be prepared for the end of this incredible story. If you are looking for a true psychological thriller that has twists and turns and will keep you on the edge of your seat this is the book that you want to pick up. The authors writing style is cryptic and unique. She pulls you in from so many directions that you can’t wait to see what’s on the next page. The author does an excellent job with the secondary characters and weaves a story that is truly beyond thrilling. I could easily see this book being made into a movie.

The Third Nanny Whoa! Hold up a minute. What just happened? Those statements and questions were exactly what I was saying throughout the book. Talk about a thriller, “thriller” puts it mildly in the aspect of keeping you on your edge if you’re a guesser so to speak. As a reader I like to guess the actions and the ending plot of books but Wacek kept me twisting in my chair so to speak. It isn’t a horror book, or terribly scary. It does have a creeper factor that raises hair on your neck when reading parts of “The Third Nanny”. This book called to me and called to me and didn’t lose my focus which is always a good sign of a good writer that knows how and when to capture it’s readers. I didn’t like the ending but that’s to everyone’s taste honestly, I mean if we didn’t like it then phooey on us, because it isn’t like we wrote the book its preference. The ending is great I just wanted more, I wanted to be left with more I crave more. I will be reading more from this author!

The Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek introduces us to Janey, college student, future psychologist with no family left. Her parents are gone, and her only sibling, Kelly, disappeared 8 years ago. But one day, Janey receives a cryptic letter from Kelly-claiming she is in danger…and then, Kelly disappears again. Determined to not lose her again, Janey tracks down her previous employer and takes her job–as a nanny for Max and Julia. But things aren’t always what the seem. The family has secrets–ones that might just make Janey disappear too!
Oh my gosh! This novel is a 5/5 stars. I wish I could rate it higher. The character building is great, Janey is a likeable protagonist, and the story flows really well. The ending was mind blowing–completely unexpected twists and turns! Just when you think everything has been revealed, there’s more! A+ writing. I am so excited to read the other books in the Secrets of Redemption series! This book is a must read for any psychological thriller fans!

Janey is a young woman with a bright future, she is studying psychology and lives with her best friend in a shared apartment, all is going well in her life until one day when she receives a letter in the post, well, it used to be a letter, now it is just some fragments in a plastic bag from the post office with a note attached to it, it has been sent from a town called Redemption in Wisconsin. As she talks to her friend about it, she realises that she doesn’t know anyone in Redemption, however, she did spend summers there as a kid and she has no idea who it is from until she sees the signature at the bottom of a piece of the letter, it says “Kelly”.
This throws Janey into a state of panic as memories surface of a time eight years before when her sister went missing and abandoned her, as her friend gets her some water, Janey debates about what to tell her, eventually she settles on the truth and opens up about what happened and why is has affected her so much. As she talks, she realises that she wants nothing more than to find out why her sister left and why she has only reached out now, but she is also dealing with too many emotions to deal with it, so she avoids opening the letter for a couple of days. After she has had a couple of glasses of wine, together they put the letter together and read what has been saved and realising the urgency in the words, they decide on a plan and even though Janey wants nothing more than to set off to Redemption straight away, she also knows that they need to do some research before she does. It is at this point that they check out the address and the people who live there, this is where Janey finds a picture she swears is her sister, who is named as being their nanny and this convinces her that she needs to find her and that she is wasting time, so she sets off the next day to start putting the plan into action.
Janey starts by learning the routine of the household and determines how she can befriend the lady of the house so that she can find out more about her sister’s situation, over the following days she does just that and ends up managing to step into her sisters shoes as the third nanny. As she takes on the responsibilities associated with her new job while trying to juggle it with finding clues regarding her sisters whereabouts, she realises that things are not as they seem. Will Janey be able to figure out where her sister is, or will the household secrets take precedence and lead her investigations astray? This is a twisted and tangled web of secrets and lies which multiply leaving more questions than answers as this psychological thriller races along at breakneck speed while you hang on until the end.

Surprising until the very end! I adore books that keep you guessing, and Michele PW kept me guessing. The Third Nanny was so thrilling to read. I quickly fell in love with Janey and wanted nothing more than to see her reunited with her sister. Every character in the book is cleverly written. Twists and turns played with my emotions like not many books can do. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I was proved wrong and surprised again. The biggest shock of all was the ending! I’m so glad I found this book!

The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele Pariza Wacek was an intense psychological thriller that made you not want to put the book down. The book follows Janey who is on the hunt for her missing sister, Kelly, in the hopes of saving her. Each new detail brought new questions and made you wonder, who done it? I found myself trying to solve the mystery along with Janey but started to question everything at the end. The Third Nanny will keep you at the edge of your seat with a shocking end that you’ll never see coming. I highly recommend that you have an afternoon to read this as you will not want to put it down.

The Third Nanny was a great read! While I wouldn’t necessarily call it a thriller, it definitely had some shock value especially at the end. I was completely enthralled while reading this novel and could hardly put it down. There is just something about it that makes it really hard to stop reading. I haven’t read any of the rest of the books in Secrets of Redeption series but I feel like they could be read alone novels since this one is. This book definitely made me want to go back and read them though. If you’re looking for a mystery type crime book with shock value this is the one for you!

When Janey finds her sister, she just loses her again. Will Janey’s sister find out what happens to her sister? This story has all the making of a good psychological thriller. It is a face-pace, twists, and turns, edge of the seat of my pants story. The characters are fully developed and complex-complicated. There are secrets in this small town that the town folk knows how to keep secrets of the town. Will the secrets be the downfall of Redemption? I highly recommend this book. Make sure when you settle down with this book make sure you have enough time to finish it.

Oh my lanta this book! When I started reading this book, I felt for Janey. As the story really got going, I wanted her to find answers as much as she did and had so many questions for what was happening. I was a little leery of some of the actions she was taking and some of them just made me question her character. I just needed to know everything that was going on and couldn’t stop reading. I picked it up and couldn’t put it down. The ending blew my mind and I very much was not expecting it! Definitely an excellent read and would absolutely recommend it!

The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) 5 of 5 Stars I was gripped from page one by this suspenseful psychological thriller. This is a real page turner of a novel with a fast paced and intriguing storyline and great characters that I felt engaged with. Janey’s sister Kelly ran away from home eight years ago and has not been heard from since, until Janey receives a disturbing letter from her missing sister. Then Kelly disappears again but this time Janey decides to look for her sister herself starting with the only clue she has which is an address in Redemption, Wisconsin. Kelly had been working as a nanny and Janey decides to take the job. She soon discovers that the family have secrets and that the whole town of Redemption has a troubling past. Janey realises that she may have put herself in danger and that she might be the next to disappear. Nothing is as it seems in the town of Redemption and the same is true of this book, as the plot twists kept me guessing until the last page. The author managed to bring both the setting and the characters to life with her descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story. A chilling and creepy read and one which I definitely recommend.

The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) is the third installment in the series set in Redemption, Wisconsin, but it can completely be read as a stand-alone. It is the first book by this author I have read, and it did not take any enjoyment away from the experience. First of all, when the story is set in place called Redemption, you know the twists and turns are going to be epic. The town is described as someplace where “nothing is as it seems”, and that is not an understatement. This book kept me on my toes, and I never knew exactly where it was going. Janey takes you on a journey to find out what happened to her sister, Kelly, who had worked as a nanny in Redemption. She becomes a nanny to the same family to figure out as much of this story as she can. You will not want to stop reading until you reach the end. Read this book.

This was a gripping psychological Thriller. I was hooked from beginning to end. The author does an amazing job at building the story in a way that when you think you have a handle on what’s happening it twists again and keeps you guessing.
We start off meeting Janey. Janey has plenty of secrets in her family but the main one being the disappearance of her sister. No one knows what happened to Kelly, she just disappeared. That is until 8 years later when she writes to Janey. What is happening to her sister? Why did she disappear? Now Janey is on a mission to find her sister and the truth of what made her leave. Was it a stalker like she claimed or was it part of a breakdown?
Janey follows her sisters last known footsteps even taking her job as nanny to the Johnsons. However, things aren’t what they seem and the Johnsons have secrets as well. Secrets which may explain her sisters desperate letter and which may also put Janey in danger.
If you like a book that is suspenseful and gripping this is definately a book to read. I can’t recommend it enough

The Third Nanny (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek)
4 Stars
I have so many mixed feelings about this book. There were many times I could not put it down, then there were as many times I sat totally confused. I read it in 3 sittings and did think about it whenever I wasn’t reading it and couldn’t wait to get back to it. I did have a problem with the main character, I never connected to her and she had me all kinds of messed up with her change in personality, her change in her moods, and the thoughts she had throughout. I guess that’s what makes this a twisted psychological thriller. It definitely met that mark for me. I never really formed any opinion about the ending and how it would all play out so it not being really jaw dropping for me at the end wasn’t very surprising.
I did enjoy reading this story, the writing was awesome and did flow smoothly, I just felt at times like I was reading things that really didn’t matter, but then at the end realized it all did.
I do highly recommend reading this story especially if you like this genre. Just know, it will all make sense at the end.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. Janey has suffered a lot of loss in her life. Her parents were killed in a car accident and her sister disappeared. Or did she? Janey receives a letter in the mail from her sister that sets off a series of events. Her sister is alive and believes she has a stalker. But the letter showed up in terrible condition….when was it sent? Janey takes finding her sister seriously, she takes a leave from school and travels to Redemption, Wisconsin, the last place her sister had been. I cried for Janey and her sister. I had to read the ending twice, to really let the twist sink in. Michele PW is a great story teller and I recommend this book if you enjoy psychological thrillers.

Wow. This book will have you trying to sort through all the pieces up until the very end, with a major surprise ending. Janey enlists the help of her friend and roommate, Bryn, in trying to solve the mystery of her missing sister who disappeared years ago without a trace after receiving a letter two month’s delayed by a postal service mishap that indicates Kelly is still alive and going by the name Ashley. Because the letter is ripped to pieces, the pair piece together enough information to determine where the letter originated. Janey’s pursuit for the truth leads to her taking the job as a nanny to three children, where Ashley last worked, and uncovering even more mysteries as she tries to uncover the truth about her sister’s original disappearance and what led to her most recent disappearing act. This kept me on the edge of my seat and puzzled through various twists and turns along the way; a real page-turner with a truly original storyline.

I would love to say so much more about this book and what happens but I really won’t because I wouldn’t want to give anything away, not even the smallest of details. This is one book that is a must read for everyone.

Well, this review might be a hard one to write because I don’t want to give anything away! This was a psychological, twisted story about a toxic sister relationship. Secretive details about a sister’s life start to unfold, while the other sister follows, literally, in her footsteps. I enjoyed the fact that the story kept me bouncing ideas back and forth about what could be going on. I did start to get an idea half-way through the book about this surprising ending. However, as a psychological professional, my mind tends to wander in ways that many people don’t – it’s dark and a little pathological. I would say if you want to be surprised, try to enjoy the book and not over analyze it like I tend to do. Worth the read!

This book was beyond amazing and I have no words to truly the describe the impact it gave upon my soul. It lured me in as if a child after a free toy. From there it bought my mind to its darkest corners and made me visualize and see things I never thought I could reach in limits of my mind. This was a psychological thriller that can not compare to my past readings. I can not describe how much I loved this, and yet, I wanted more at the end. I did not with any ounce of me want this novel to end! It was that good!
Reading at first we get our main character whom was named Janey getting a letter from no where from her sister, who everyone believed was out of the picture. But the letter doesn’t seem to add up and Janey questioned everything and wanted the truth to what happened to her sister and why she disappeared. Why make contact now? When all whom cared of her thought she was gone forever?
Story unravels and her sister was a nanny for a family. So maybe the truth was within those walls/ At least that was the high suspicion Janey had. Could she be correct or never more right? But perhaps it was possible to dig too deep? Are some things left buried?
In those walls, came so much more than Janey ever bargained for. It left me more than convinced, shocked, fearful, and so many emotions. Nothing was what I expected. I never was ale to guess anything. And that is what I loved so much about this book!
The book was a fun puzzle, figure out what happened and case closed right? Wrong! The things Janey learns not only unravels but makes the true fear that creeps in your heart come alive and make you question everything you perhaps thought you knew?
There was clues as well as secrets that were best left undone. Janey showed strength that she loved her sister dearly and only wanted to bring her home and find out her side of the story of basically what went down. But the lines that cross for the truth are more than ever expected, and the suspense it brings alone is more than I think any of the characters or the readers ever saw coming.
Again I loved this book more than words I can every say or express. I live for a book that can make me question things and keep me so involved, to the point where I am up most shocked to how the story plays out. Plus, to add the characters were beyond perfect! The family that had Janey’s sister for the nanny, let me say even I did not put two and two together. The author is extremely skilled and I am still in disbelief how things went about, it was like eating a good banana split, finish that last bite, but again you still year for more!
This was actually my first book by this author. It was so good and I truly regret not knowing more of this author till now! I happily will read all the books this author reads. Needless to say, this first book I have read by them, reached beyond and back of any expectations I might have made. As well as a made a first impression that can never be erased
Thank you to the author for this wonderful book and amazing story you brought to life!

The Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek quickly grabbed my attention. Thrillers are one of my favorite genres, and I always feel like I am quick to catch on and figure them out. I thought I had this figured out a few times, and I was wrong every time. The Third Nanny kept me hooked and intrigued the entire time. I stayed up way too late because I couldn’t put it down. It was definitely surprising, and that end, you’ll never guess. So, Does Janey find out what happened to her sister Kelly? I highly recommend you read The Third Nanny to find out.

Unpredictable, intense psychological thriller This draws you in from the first page. A brilliant piece of writing, this keeps you glued right through until the end. The major twist caught me by surprise and had me searching for the breadcrumbs scattered throughout the story. Chilling, creepy and captivating – I highly recommend.

The Third Nanny by Michele PW was a wonderful psychological thriller. We begin with Janey who receives an apology package from the post filled with a shredded letter. Upon puzzling the pieces of this letter together, she discovers it is a letter from her sister, Kelly, who ran away 8 years prior. Through internet sleuthing, she discovers her sister is now Ashley and was a nanny in Redemption, Wisconsin. That is, until she disappeared! Janey decides to continue her investigation to find her sister by becoming a nanny to the same family. She soon realizes that there are secrets within the household. The story was good, with a mix of present and past to bring the twist of the ending into play. Some sections of the book were longwinded and I would have liked the ending to be explained a bit more, but overall the end was not what I expected and left the me reflecting on what I read throughout the story to see the hints to the twist.

This is a very engrossing psychological thriller. Janey, in search of her long-lost sister, gets tangled up in the web of the Johnsons, the last family her sister worked for before disappearing. As she does her own investigative work to follow the threads to her sister, she becomes more tangled and enmeshed in the danger. This story definitely sends your mind reeling, casting about for answers as clues are steadily delivered. Janey’s childhood memories come sifting in through the present, adding colour and depth to what is really going on here. This is very well-written, and the pace of the plot was great and kept tensions high without going overboard. The characters were nuanced and their personalities diverse. Couldn’t put it down until I had read the final page.

“Watch your back. Keep your eyes open. And be careful who you trust. It was exhausting, pretending everything was normal. Even though I knew I couldn’t drop my guard for even a moment…”
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! I really am having trouble finding the words to do this book the justice it deserves. This was such a brilliant, twisty, and unpredictable read that I really couldn’t put down till I had read every single last word! Those last few chapters- OMG!!! I did not see that coming, that’s for sure. So well done!! Highly recommended!!! Must read!!! The Third Nanny by Michele Pariza Wacek intrigued me from the moment I laid eyes on it. I quickly snapped up a copy and dove in as psychological thrillers are my favourite genre of all- and this one promised to be great. As this was my first read from Michele PW, I really didn’t know what to expect going in- but I am soooo happy that I found her, finally- I really don’t know why I haven’t come across her work before now as she has quite a few books to her name- but all is right in the world because now I have a new author to add to my ‘must read’ list. The most exciting thing is that she has so many more books for me to buy and devour!! I love that feeling of discovery! The thrill of knowing that you are about to go on an epic book binge with an author you know won’t disappoint and one who I know I will love whatever it is she chooses to write. For this little ol’ book worm, there is nothing better! From the moment I opened this book, the intrigue began. Janey receives a letter form her sister who has been missing for eight years. Eight years of not knowing what happened to her. Eight years of wondering why she left. Eight years of not knowing if she was even alive still. Then the letter arrives, and that in itself is a bit of a puzzle- the letter is somewhat disturbing, speaking of danger, and begging for help- but is it already too late? Janey is now desperate to find her sister. And so this amazing puzzle begins. Janey embarks on her quest that will see her unravelling the mystery of her sister’s disappearance, the secrets and lies that she will have to unwind in order to find the truth. Her journey of discovery had me on the edge of my seat the whole way along- trying to piece everything together before the final reveal. But the ‘big reveal’ left me reeling- I didn’t expect that at all. So well done!!! The last few chapters were intense!!! This is a gripping psychological thriller, with a stalker, twists and turns, layers, suspense, palpable tension, danger, an unpredictable storyline, secrets, lies, obsession, paranoia, trauma, investigation, emotion, and a quest for answers. There are flashbacks to past events that really help to build the backstory and also adds to the tension of the story. Things are definitely not what they seem on the surface. Michele PW certainly knows how to instil tension and a chilling, creepy factor to her storyline which made her book unputdownable! Can’t wait to explore the rest of her books. #MUSTREAD

This is an intense thriller. The town of Redemption, WI is the place of a missing sister. The other sister is out looking for her and finds herself in a hell of a bind. Psycho parents, deep buried secrets that are scary as heck and darkness. The characters are frightening in that there could be people like that in your neighborhood. The plot had me enthralled from page 1. Great thriller. Best of the year.

I give The Third Nanny: A twisted psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping ending (Secrets of Redemption) by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek), 5 stars.
I have read books in the past that were supposed to be psychological thrillers and they were, well okay. This book labels itself as a twisted psychological thriller. I was skeptical that it would live up to it, but was still interested enough to see what this book had in store for me. Right off the bat, it’s obvious that there is more going on than what meets the eye. The author has a brilliant way of slipping in more and more as the story goes on. You are left wondering what is really going on. There are so many angles here — I thought I knew what was going on, but no. Insert evil laughter from the author here.
This book was brilliantly written with so many twists and turn, you are left with your head spinning. The story is so good and unique, the characters are precisely written with so many levels to them. You really are left with wondering just who to root for and what the story of the missing girl really is about. If you are a fan of this genre, I so highly recommend it.
