This was nothing like what I had expected from the blurb. But it was a super good, fast read. The Mc HAS to get away from her abusive husband and she has to take her two children with her. She moves into a neighborhood and things go in a total unexpected way. Definitely reccomend this one.

Welcome to West Street kept me hooked from start to finish. The mystery surrounding Amanda and her new life on West Street was intriguing, and Caroline’s nosy nature added an interesting layer of tension. The characters were well-crafted, and the suspense built gradually, making each new revelation more shocking than the last. I loved the unpredictable twists, though I felt some of the drama could have been more developed. Still, it was a solid psychological thriller with an engaging pace and a dark, gripping plot. Definitely worth the read if you enjoy secrets and suspense!

Welcome To West Street by Nicole Trope, when the book starts Amanda and her two young children are moving to a rundown home in a tight knit cul-de-sac. It’s nothing like her previous palatial home she lived in with husband Mike who owns a very successful jewelry store in Australia. unfortunately he was also physically and psychologically abusive and this is why she would rather bring her nine-year-old daughter Kiara and 11-year-old son Jordan to live in a rundown house away from what they know in their friends. while she’s moving in close friends and her new neighbors Caroline and Mary are watching wondering what type of person she is and Carolyn makes it her personal business to find out. Not everyone is happy about the move especially 11 year-old Jordan who seems to have taken the place his daddy vacated by the move and it’s abusive to his mom calls her a bitch and wants nothing more than to go back home and sadly his bad attitude in abusive nature isn’t saved for his mother. Caroline is incredulous about the new changes Amanda and her family have brought to their quiet neighborhood and intends to do something about it but will she be help from heaven, or help sent from hell. Soon Jordan goes missing and at first Amanda thinks he is with Mike but she will learn Mike wasn’t the only one she should’ve feared. I am so tired of these books where people let their children talk any kind of way to them and meet this bad behavior with kindness or nothing at all. It is a parent job to prepare their children for the real world and the real world is not so kind. as far as the book goes I was super excited to get another Nicole trope thriller because she has quickly become an author whose books I love and although this one was a bit over the top I would still recommend it because after all it is still Nicole Trope. Caroline isn’t your typical nosy neighbor nor is her Mary and Gemma‘s friendship your typical neighborhood click but then again if it was this book wouldn’t be considered a thriller. #NetGalley, #Bookouture, #TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestReview,#NicoleTrope, #WelcomeToWestStreet

Nichole Trope is back with another amazing thriller! Tropes never fails to disappoint with her thrillers and this is no exception.

I can never complain when it comes to Mes trope. I love all her books and can never guess what's going to happen.. But this is by far the best one so far..

Wow that was a lot different than I thought it would be. You just never know who you’re around and what their past is. This woman’s son had me infuriated for a while. I was mad that Amanda didn’t do more about him. But wow that ending. I can’t say I disagree with what they were doing, but this case went too far from their purpose. Great book, love this author! Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Nicole Trope is one of the queens of domestic thrillers. While this might not be my favorite of hers as the plot twist was not as twisty as they usually are but this is another great, quick, mysterious read.

Welcome to West Street by Nicole Trope

Amanda fled from her abusive husband, Mike, with her two children, eleven-year-old Jordan and nine-year-old Kiera. She rented a house on West Street soon meeting her neighbours, Caroline, Mary and Gemma. Everyone is so friendly; Caroline even comes over to welcome them with a homemade chocolate cake and an invite for a cup of tea. But Amanda cannot relax or feel safe because her son, Jordan does not understand why they had to leave their family home and is constantly screaming abuse at Amanda and talking disrespectfully to her.

Amanda feels like she has not left the abuse behind but as bought it with her.

I would like to thank Net Galley and Bookouture for a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review.

An enjoyable, fast paced read. I liked the setting and the characters are well developed and authentic. The storyline is good but predictable at times and definitely a little far fetched. That said, I enjoyed the ending and overall the book is very engaging.

I have read other books by Nicole Trope and loved them, so I was excited to read Welcome To West Street. Unfortunately this was a miss for me. The story line wasn’t what I expected based on the summary and I couldn’t get into it. I try to put myself in each character when reading, especially when it comes to parenting, and I was so over the annoying, unruly child trope (why are you not parenting your kid?). The main characters son was so unlikeable, I wanted to skip over any part that he was in (I did not, which just annoyed me more). I felt like I was reading something out of a Golden Girls episode and the characters just didn’t sit well with me.

I really wanted to like this one as I’ve just enjoyed another novel by this author, but unfortunately, this one wasn’t for me. I found it to be very predictable (even though I’m not usually great at guessing the twist!) and the narration and dialogue felt somewhat unnatural.

The story progressed at a rapid pace and short chapters kept me turning pages. I didn’t trust a single person in this book, and I do love when there are multiple shady characters! While reading I got the impression there were a couple of different paths the story could have taken (I just so happened to guess most of it correctly).

If you’re a fan of fast paced domestic thrillers and love an unhinged character you might enjoy this! It would be perfect for a holiday or beach read as it wasn’t too long and was easy to read.

Welcome to West Street by Nicole Trope.

I love to read anything by Nicole Trope and this is another wonderful book to add to my collection

As always, a new psychology thriller by Nicole Trope is always on my read list, as Nicole delivers a compelling read full of drama, mystery and a few unexpected plot twists. Main character Amanda, is escaping her abusive husband and moves into West street with her young children. A seemingly quiet and peaceful street. But is it really? Neighbours Caroline, Mary, and Gemma have a few secrets of their own. A book that you keep on turning the pages until the end.

So now my mind is thinking about the characters Caroline, Gemma and Amanda thanks to the crazy and twisted book called "Welcome To West Street"

This was a fast paced thriller. I was captivated from beginning to end. All I I wanted to do was keep reading to find out how it was going to end.

The ending was not what I was expecting but this is typical for a Nicole Trope story

Thank you Bookouture and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own and isn't influenced by anyone else

Welcome to West Street by Nicole Trope is an engaging psychological thriller that, while not quite as gripping as some of her previous works, still managed to keep me turning the pages.

The pacing is solid, and while I found certain twists predictable, Trope still manages to create moments that caught me off guard. The character development is somewhat uneven, and while there are characters you feel for, there’s also a bit of emotional distance, which makes it harder to become fully invested in their fates.

That being said, Welcome to West Street still has enough suspense to keep you hooked, and the sense of mystery unfolds well throughout the novel. It may not have the same lasting impact as her other works, but it’s still a worthwhile read for fans of psychological thrillers looking for a quick and suspenseful story.

Nicole Trope has done it again! This was a fast paced, full of twists thriller. This book roped me in from beginning to end. Some of the characters were pretty creepy, but interesting. I just wanted to keep reading to find out how it was going to end. The ending was not what I was expecting!
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

*3.5 stars*

The very old saying “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts” seems to be what the following was created for!

Amanda was welcomed to West Street with a gracious smile and a freshly baked Chocolate cake. Behind the gracious smile was Caroline, an elderly woman who thought it her duty to welcome new comers. However, Caroline, (curtain twitcher extraordinaire) isn’t quite what she appears to be, and Amanda will have reason to wish she’d never set foot in West Street.

Amanda doesn’t really want to be in West Street at all, she’s walked out on her abusive husband Mike, while he was away on business in China. The home she left was beautiful. West Street is a dump, destined to be razed to the ground in six months, but it’ll do for now. Her kids, Jordan and Kiera can’t understand why they’ve had to leave their home and friends behind, and 11 year old Jordan takes it particularly badly, venting his anger towards his mum. However, no one knows about an anonymous text Amanda received, you know the kind “You don’t know me but”…….

The characters in West Street evoke little sympathy, they’re a strange bunch, and have some serious problems, not to mention dark secrets. However, I did enjoy the crazy journey, wondering exactly where it was going.

This is an engrossing page turner with striking imagery and breakneck twists. The author has a crisp writing style which guides readers through this layered and innovative thriller. It was a treat to read.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! The amazing Nicole Trope does it again! I totally enjoyed this creepy, addictive thriller. The characters were fantastic and kept me flipping pages long past my bedtime. I literally felt like a part of this story. A thrill ride from beginning to end. What a creep fest!! Big 5 stars from me.
Thank you NetGalley, Nicole Trope and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC. It was my first one and it didn't disappoint.

I read it from start to finish in less than 24 hours!! It had me gripped. I always love a twist or 3 and this didn't fail on that front. Although I did suspect one of the twists fairly early on, I was still shocked when the truth came to light.

I will definitely be reading more by this author.
