Almost Mother
The most dangerous being on the planet is a mother protecting her young.
Two years ago, my husband vanished, leaving me a single mom with two babies, a thousand questions, and zero answers.
Now, I’m drowning.
I’m juggling work deadlines I can’t meet and bills I can’t pay, pretending to the cliquey supermoms that I’m keeping it together. In reality, my toddler is sick, my nerves are frayed, and I haven’t slept in what feels like forever.
Until, finally, I do.
When I wake up, my daughter is gone. Snatched from her crib while I slept.
There’s no ransom. Only a message.
“Motherhood is a privilege. If you want your daughter back, you’ll have to earn her.”
Five tasks.
Five chances to prove I deserve to be her mother.
Each one more dangerous than the last.
Somewhere out there, my daughter is trapped in someone’s game.
And I’m done playing by their rules.
Mira Shaw and K.S. Reid deliver suspense, betrayal, and a mother’s terror in Almost Mother—book four of The Final Chapter Book Club series, that will chill readers of Verity and The Housemaid.

Mary Stone
Mary Stone lives among the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of East Tennessee with her two dogs, four cats, a couple of energetic boys, and a very patient husband.
As a young girl, she would go to bed every night, wondering what type of creature might be lurking underneath. It wasn’t until she was older that she learned that the creatures she needed to most fear were human.
Today, she creates vivid stories with courageous, strong heroines and dastardly villains. She invites you to enter her world of serial killers, FBI agents but never damsels in distress. Her female characters can handle themselves, going toe-to-toe with any male character, protagonist or antagonist.
