Emily is a struggling actress working temp jobs and is about to be kicked out of her small apartment when her boss, Scott, proposes an amazing job offer to her....or so it seems. Emily is asked to become a live in nanny/housekeeper/friend to Scott's odd wife Nina and their daughter Aurelia and will receive free accommodations, a car, and a credit card to use. But, Nina and Aurelia live separately from Scott at a gorgeous villa in France and Emily knows nothing about them. Feeling desperate and overwhelmed by this amazing opportunity, Emily accepts the job and moves into Querencia. Everything seems to be going well until Emily notices something is very odd about this whole situation. Is she really safe at this beautiful estate??
I absolutely loved the way Anna Downes set the scene for this novel. Querencia sounds like the perfect vacation spot filled with a beautiful pool, lush gardens, horses, animals and lots of wine and good food! As I kept reading I found myself wanting to be there and see it for myself. I loved the mystery Emily was trying to uncover and I did not see the twist coming til closer to the end of the book. I found myself feeling really proud of Emily for her growth throughout the story. I definitely recommend this one!
