Little Darlings

Everyone says Lauren Tranter is exhausted, that she needs rest. And they’re right; with newborn twins, Morgan and Riley, she’s never been more tired in her life. But she knows what she saw: that night, in her hospital room, a woman tried to take her babies and replace them with her own…creatures. Yet when the police arrived, they saw no one. Everyone, from her doctor to her husband, thinks she’s imagining things.

A month passes. And one bright summer morning, the babies disappear from Lauren’s side in a park. But when they’re found, something is different about them. The infants look like Morgan and Riley―to everyone else. But to Lauren, something is off. As everyone around her celebrates their return, Lauren begins to scream, These are not my babies.

Determined to bring her true infant sons home, Lauren will risk the unthinkable. But if she’s wrong about what she saw…she’ll be making the biggest mistake of her life.


My Review

I have read a handful of "changling" stories. There has only been about one or two that I liked. Well I am excited to report that this book is in my top list. In fact, it is one of the best "changling" books that I have read.

Lauren had me with her every step of the way I never doubted her love as a mother would prevail in the end. This book does have aspects of a Brother's Grimm Fairy Tale but with dark elements What Lauren experienced is every mother's nightmare. As I was so invested in this book, it was so easy and quick to read. I tried to slow down to make every moment last longer.

Ms. Golding delivers the gold standard with Little Darlings! I picked up this book and was committed from page to page...beginning to end. An easy recommended read. Little Darlings needs to be on every readers to be read pile!
