Magpie

A gripping psychological thriller book about motherhood, obsession, and the lengths people will go to in order to create the ideal family is coming for lovers of The Last Mrs. Parrish. "Excellent, without a doubt" (Stanley Tucci).

Jake and Marisa make the ideal duo. Not only that, but Kate, their new lodger, is the ideal roommate, providing them with the necessary funds to begin trying for their dream child.

However, nobody is really flawless. True, Kate doesn't appear to respect personal space and sometimes comes off as being too close to Jake. Marisa, however, chooses not to worry about it as she knows that soon Kate will be gone and it will just be her, Jake, and their unborn child.

But it's not easy to conceive, and months of fertility treatments and false starts stress Jake and Marisa's seemingly flawless relationship. Even worse, Kate's pushing of boundaries becomes an intense fixation with Jake, Marisa, and their unborn child. This lady is who? How come she seems to be so knowledgeable about Jake and Marisa?

Marisa has the potential to ruin everything Kate has worked so hard to build, including her ideal family, relationship, and self, in her pursuit to discover Kate's true identity.

Jake is unaware of half of Marisa's creations and the things she is at risk of losing.
