The Stepmother is a heart-racing novel full of secrets and suspense. The narrator, Gabrielle Glaister, is the perfect voice for this book. I found myself enthralled with the story from the beginning. It is also beautifully written, and so well thought out that it makes you forget that it is a work of fiction.
The novel is a suspenseful and emotional read. The narrator [Gabrielle Glaister] does an amazing job of bringing the book to life with her reading. The stepmother comes across as not caring, but without going too far into what she's like, the reader still knows that there is something off about her. There are also many twists in this novel that keep it interesting and make you want to find out what happens next.

This is one of those books you can't put down. I have always been wary of books that are too polarizing, but this book kept me hooked from start to finish. I could not stop reading until I knew what happened with the family and who was behind all the betrayals. This is a novel that gets better as you reach the end even though it may seem like it's ending for good at the beginning.
When the patriarch of her family, Alan Lewis, passed away, Lucy was shocked. She had never met her stepmother and father in law before and didn't know what to expect. When she arrives at their home, she finds a secret room they tried to hide from her and a stack of journals left by her dead father-in-law. But as soon as she starts reading them, she starts seeing images that don't seem like they could be real. As part of the case against his wife's trust fund, he tries to take advantage of Lucy in a very twisted way.
