OMG this was so gripping and twist central. The raw emotion of frankie came through the story so much i was compelled to read on to find out is this so predictable or something more darker going on. This although a story dealt with some very difficult and emotion driven issues which are sadly very real in society. This deal with the preconceptions we all have and now we can all be manipulated to believe things which we cant understand . A typical family is never a typical family really there were lots of stereotypes and the final reveal was like a kick in the stomach. There were times i was screaming get away it doesn't matter who is right just run. This was a pleasure to read. It had such dark elements but also an element of redemption .Highly recommended as a 5 star physchogical thriller. Thank you netgallery, publisher and author for this 5 star read.

I’m Here to Help by Claire Lunn is a slow-burn psychological thriller that steadily builds tension until a mind-blowing final twist that completely floored me. Claire Lunn masterfully keeps you second-guessing what’s real and who to trust. It’s one of those books that pulls you in deeper with every chapter—and when the truth hits, it hits hard. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for whatever she writes next.

I'm Here to Help is a psychological thriller, that will keep you up all night!

Frankie is pregnant again and she is suffering from the worst case of morning sickness. She feels dizzy, unable to cope with things and even unable to look after her feisty three-year-old daughter Olivia. They hire a nanny, Jasmine even though Frankie is little bit against hiring a nanny. Everything seems to turn fine for Frankie as Jasmine seem to be the life saver in the family. But soon, Frankie finds herself getting into small accidents, her husband even believes that Frankie is losing it. And Frankie believes that whatever small accidents are caused by Jasmine and she suspects that there is something going on between her husband and Jasmine. And Frankie must save herself and Olivia's before it's too late.

This was a page turner. I literally couldn't put this book down. The story is mostly told in Frankie's POV with Jasmine's POV as well. As a reader, do you think Frankie is being paranoid or if she is actually right? There were not much twists or turns but the ending was actually completely unexpected. I can understand all these emotions and feelings that Frankie is going through, as she doesn't really have a proper family and that she is completely controlled by her in-laws. This was actually unputdownable and I actually really enjoyed reading this one. Worth 4.5 stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc. My first book by this author, and it won't be my last! I read it in two days! It sucks you in at the start, and doesn't let go. A great thriller!

This book grabbed my attention from the start. I felt so sorry for Frankie, I really wanted her to stand up to her husband and Jasmine. The ending was brilliant. These are my favourite kind of books. A massive 5 stars from me. Can't wait to read more books by this author. Thanks Netgalley and Bookouture for letting me read this book for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and to Bookouture for the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of I'm Here To Help by Claire Lunn. This is a debut novel of Claire Lunn and I will definitely look forward to future books written by her. This book kept me engaged and the suspense was rising all the way through the book. I really enjoyed this one and it was a quick, fast-paced read. I would definitely recommend this book to others. It got a 4 star rating from me.

This book was a page turner and it kept me guessing! I absolutely loved the short chapters and the alternating POVs towards the end. My favorite kind of thriller!

Right away this was a very suspensful and intense read. It had me questioning which portrayal was correct and if Frankie was truly experiencing Jasmine's abuse.

The style of this book wasn't for me, it reminded me of Freida McFadden books which unfortunately I didn't enjoy either. The characters were so unlikeable, and not in a good way, that it was hard to tey to side with the main female character. There are some trigger warning so do your research before reading.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this.

What it’s about. Frankie is pregnant and has a young toddler named Olivia. She is suffering from bouts of morning sickness so she and husband hire a nanny named Jasmine at the suggestion of her very critical mother in law to help out. Jasmine is super helpful, but then Frankie starts becoming suspicious that Jasmine is trying to take over her family There is an accident sn Frankie falls down the stairs. Did Jasmine push her? Is Frankie imagining things? Is Jasmine trying to steal Frankie’s husband and daughter to become her family or is Frankie just going crazy?

This book got me interested right at the prologue and had me guessing until the epilogue. 5 stars.

2.5 - 3/5 stars

This book started off fairly slow. I do realize you have to start somewhere when beginning a book, but I really found the beginning to be contrast to what the book was being advertised as. If it's a mystery/thriller, I would like to see that being portrayed throughout the novel. I will give it a few points though for EVENTUALLY picking up in the end. And another thing, in the beginning I also found this to be VERY similar to Frieda McFadden's writing. And don't get me wrong, I love less description in thrillers to leave you guessing but this one was a little TOO similar. Almost crossing the line on plagiarism. Same with the storyline as well. The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden and I'm Here To Help are essentially the same stories in different fonts. Claire may need to rethink how much inspiration she's getting from other works.

Thank you to NetGally to giving the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

ooo i love these kind of books. proper full on must read domestic thriller. what i cant believe is that this is the authors first. well done! and more to come please.
these books a brilliant. the type where you think whats going on? what the heck? and i need to keep reading and reading to find out just what is happening here!
from the off i thought something wasnt quite right. but then i calmed myself down because i didnt just want to be looking for something because i new it was a thriller.
the book does a dual pov narrative which added more umph to the pages because you question even more the motives and who is the "good or bad" guys in all this.
the book follow Frankie and Russ who are preparing for their second child. they already have a toddler and with Frankie suffering etra with sickness its not going so easily.
then "the" mother in law and husband decide it would be an idea to have a nanny. Frankie isnt happy but she is desperate for help.
but as soon as Jasmine comes into the house all is not well. Why have strange things started happening. little accidents that Frankie is getting suspicious of. is Jasmine trying to push her out, take over her life.
i didnt know where this was going and i love the breadcrumbing throughout that keeps you leading up to the unravel. learning both woman's pov and stories leading up to here makes you feel the tension build and also question every turn.
this is a brilliant thriller. i cant recommend it enough.
this book will have you doing those fabulous books gasps that domestic thrillers do so well.

I read alot of thrillers with nannies in them and honestly this one stands out for me. The ending was what made the book for me. The way this author writes , I am so impressed and hope to read many more.

I'M HERE TO HELP BY CLAIRE LUNN.
5 STARS.
Release date set for the 11th of April 2025.
I really enjoyed this book.
From the get go it sucks you in and it's fast paced throughout.
This book keeps you turning the pages.
I thought i knew where the story was going but then it pulled the rug out from under my feet.
I'm not sure if this is the authors debut novel but think it could be but what a hell of a first book.
Really looking forward to seeing what else Claire Lunn does next.

Synopsis: Frankie is pregnant with her second child and is struggling with hyperemesis. It is taking a toll on her health and her ability to parent toddler Olivia, aged three. Her slick and controlling physician husband and his toxic, overbearing mother Petunia decide that what Frankie needs is a nanny. They bring Jasmine into the home - beautiful, intelligent and capable - to look after Olivia and help Frankie. Jasmine takes over perfectly, winning Olivia's affections, charming Petunia and batting her eyelashes at Frankie's husband. Then Frankie keeps having accidents. Is Jasmine trying to get rid of Frankie and steal her family?

Thoughts: This is a fast-paced and suspenseful thriller with short and snappy chapters and plenty of unlikeable characters. There is a dual POV - told from both Frankie and Jasmine's perspective - along with a great deal of infuriating behaviour, with all parties showing the negative side of their characters at various points. Without giving anything away, the plot takes quite a dark turn, which was somewhat unexpected. Readers looking for the right popcorn thriller to take on vacation and read poolside should enjoy this. Many thanks to Bookouture for my copy.

I’m Here to Help is a chilling psychological thriller that kept me hooked from the start. The dark themes surrounding trust, manipulation, and fear really hit home as I followed Frankie’s descent into paranoia. The tension between her and the nanny, Jasmine, is palpable, and I found myself constantly questioning what was real and who could be trusted. The atmosphere was unsettling, and the slow reveal of secrets kept me turning the pages.

Frankie’s emotional turmoil was well-written, especially her struggle with her mental state while dealing with the pregnancy and her family dynamics. The twists were intense, but the dark undertones of control and obsession really stood out. I docked a star because some of the character motivations felt a bit too extreme at times, but overall, this is a gripping read for anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller with plenty of suspense and dark twists.

I was really in the mood for a good thriller, and this book did not disappoint. This book immediately had me hooked and just when I thought I had something figured out, I was wrong. This was exactly what I was looking for and I was very pleased.

This book is very similar to another I read recently. It is quite dark at times and really felt for Frankie. It is an OK thriller. Thank you to Netgalley and Bookoutre for ARC.

A dark and twisty read that I couldn't put down. It was full of tension and suspense and atmosphere and had me on the edge of my seat for most of the book

Definitely an intriguing and addictive psychological thriller. It kept me hooked and engaged. It also left me with a mixed bag of emotions. The ending was satisfying but I had some issued throughout which is why I couldn't fully enjoy this one.
