Book: Not Our Daughter

Author: Chad Zunker

Thank you, NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing, for an advanced audio copy. 

From the first chapter to the last, I was hooked on Not Our Daughter. There was so much action in this book, and I was not expecting that. I loved it. 

Cole and Lisa are fostering a baby to adopt her. The courts had other plans and granted custody to the baby’s mom, who is a recovering drug addict. On the day the courts made that decision, she shows up bloody at Cole and Lisa’s home. She tells them her baby is in danger and asks Cole and Lisa to protect her, and then she dies. Cole and Lisa go on the run, and then the story jumps ahead 13 years. 

Cole and Lisa raise Jade as their own, and she has no idea that they are not her biological parents. Jade is considered a missing person, and Cole was framed as the murderer, and the case was never closed. 

Cole and Lisa are discovered, and then the chase begins. Local cops and the FBI are chasing after them across multiple states. There was never a dull moment. This book surprised me with how much action there is, and I loved it. This is one I recommend to everyone. 

Final Score: 5/5
