Clean up woman

Tanisha, did an excellent job of crafting a suspenseful plot that held my attention. Despite thinking I knew all the characters involved and what would happen, I was surprised by the unexpected twists and turns in the story. Overall, it was a fantastic read that kept me engaged from beginning to end and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gripping and entertaining book.

page turner

I don’t know about that BS Shawn pulled at the end. No matter how mad you get, as my husband you are supposed to cover and protect me, you know someone is threatening me and you put me out to the wolves because you in your feelings. I would need a lot of prayer before you see me smile at you again.

Clean Up Woman is drama served hot! Tanisha Stewart gives us betrayal, scandal, and all the “whew, chile” moments that’ll have you talking back to the book. The wild part? It feels a little too real—like something that could be happening in your own circle. It’s entertaining, but it also hits home with a reminder: be careful who you call your friends and be careful who you vent to. Everybody smiling in your face isn’t rooting for you, and this book shows just how costly it can be when the wrong people know your business.

Huh

I enjoyed the book..but the way it tied up at the end was just weird. The characters came together out of left field..It kind of didn't make any sense to me . Sasha being down with Renee & Jaronica had me like🤔🤔 I knew Sasha was bonkers though..

I would rate it a 3.8. I did feel like the overall ending was a surprise, I did not expect but at the same time, I just kept saying “Huh?” or “What?.” There were multiple signs that the character just overlooked which honestly made me mad. LOL

Be careful who you run your mouth 👄 to

I like this book, definitely a change from what I’m accustomed to reading. I needed a break from the Gangster and Mafia scene. This book was relaxing and calm. Even though it had a few deaths, it was still soothing, didn’t have me all emotional. I just enjoyed the storyline. Sasha was a given, I knew one of her friends was foul but I couldn’t pinpoint which one but Rene was a surprise. I’m really happy Yana and Shawn had a strong relationship. Good 👍🏾 job author, I’ll most definitely recommend.

Overall Rating: 3.5 (Rounded to 4.0 for Goodreads)

I really enjoyed Tanisha Stewart’s Red Series so when I heard about this one, I knew I needed to read it.

The day I decided to read this book was a Sunday and Sundays are my usual chore days, so I ended up reading the physical book and listening to the audiobook in order to finish the book. It was a quick read. Whenever I had some time to sit down, I took out the physical copy and when I had to get back to my chores, the audiobook kept me company. I finished it all within a few hours.

First, let’s talk plot. So we have Yana who is married to Shawn. They have been married for 5 years and have three kids. They love each other, though their relationship is not perfect. Yana is up for a promotion at her job, and her husband Shawn is really rooting for her to get it. If she does, it will help the family tremendously. So, it’s all hands on deck. Shawn puts his dreams on the back burner to support his wife and the two decide the best thing to do is to get a nanny to help with the kids while Yana focuses on her job so she can put her best foot forward and get the promotion. But boy did they get more than they bargained for with this nanny. Sasha is the new nanny and as soon as she enters their lives, Yana notices some weird things about Sasha. She has the kids calling her mommy, she is organizing and moving Yana’s things around and when Yana enters the room, Shawn and Sasha go mute. What is going on here? What secrets are Shawn and Sasha hiding and will it be too late by the time Yana finds out?

This was a story full of twists and turns that had me feeling like I was on a roller coaster ride. First, I really liked the couple. They felt relatable to me. You can see that they loved and respected each other and are just the typical parents/couple working hard now so their kids can have a better future.

However, Ms. Yana got on my nerves at times. I guess I kind of understood how/why she let a lot of the things that Sasha did go but sis, trust your intuition! If anything, this story shows us that we have to trust ourselves. If we think something is not right, look into it right away…do not let time or the possibility of hurting someone’s feelings get in the way; better to be safe than sorry. This book also shows us that we have to keep our priorities straight. Money and promotions are great, but not at the expense of losing your family.

This whole book was like watching an episode of Snapped or one of those Lifetime movies. I was invested y’all. So many crazy things happened and just like I yell at my T.V. when I’m watching those shows and movies, I was yelling at all the characters while I was reading.

The ending was ok. I kind of knew/suspected where things were going so I wasn’t surprised about anything. I did feel like there were some plot holes and I had some questions at the end of the book, but overall it was ok.

The audiobook, I am not sure if it was the narrator or what, but she had me laughing a few times and I had to wonder, should I be laughing here. LoL. The audiobook is included in the KU membership so if you have that, I would recommend listening to it. The sole narrator did a relatively good job playing the different characters so overall all, it was ok.

I would recommend this book because it was quick, easy to read and entertained me during my Sunday chores. It is not too dark, in my opinion and it is somewhat relatable so I think people who like light thrillers with some suspense/mystery, will enjoy this read.

Five Star Read

Loved it! This read captured my full attention and never let up. I loved all the mysteriousness surrounding the nanny. You want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I don't trust anyone, so I would have fired her immediately!!! She'd never have the chance to have me doubting my own sanity.
But the twists just kept coming and I never saw the biggest one. The main character summed it up precisely - money, power and a man.
Great read. Highly recommend. Five star indeed.

First time reader but..

DEFINITELY going to keep reading your books! The plot and suspense was great! My daughter suspected the husband (I gave her the PG synopsis) and I suspected the main killer but a different back story. What it turned out to be was not what we expected lol AT ALL!!! I'm not gonna lie, after the first plot twist, I hoped the husband was involved. But great story!!

It was a nice quick read, but definitely felt predictable
I did like the ending , three people wanting you DEAD is crazy twin😂😳
I definitely think the husband did more than just kiss Sasha, but that’s just me
Kind of would’ve liked to spend where she slept with Jeremy when her husband was being distant , the more drama, the better 😛
Like the book, I bought two of the physical copy and gave one to a family member to read

A gripping domestic thriller packed with betrayal, scandal, and jaw-dropping twists!

What makes it especially chilling is how real it felt, which served as a sharp reminder to be careful who you trust and who you share your business with. This book is especially good for readers who enjoy the classic protagonist and antagonist set-up, mixed with very chilling and terrifying twists within the plot!

Have Mercy

This was something else! You did it again and again and again. These characters went through the roof. The mess that was caused and she came through with flying colors. Job well done. I highly recommend this book!! I highly recommend all her books. Never ever was I disappointed by what she has written. Still top author for me.

Once is an accident,

Twice is coincidence, third is a pattern. Yana was way more patient and professional than I would have been. Rene would have gotten the business, Sasha would have caught these hands and Jeronica got off light. There were a lot of key twists that make this all the more enjoyable. Great read!

Yana is busy marketing executive. She hires a nanny Sasha to fill in while she works on getting a promotion. Sasha starts getting extra close to the children and Yana's husband Shawn. Soon, weird things start happening at home and at work. Is she going crazy or is someone out to get her? A nice read, full of twists and turns.

Really Good!

I really enjoyed this books. This is my second Thriller and second book by Tanisha Stewart. Amazing. Definitely unexpected twits and turns. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I wish the ending extended a little more or there was more explanation about certain things in the end. But overall, so great!

Love it!!

This is my first Tanisha Stewart read and I wish that I discovered this author long before now. Story line flowed very well and it was soo good. I was on the edge of my seat reading this because I did not expect some of things to happen, the characters did not disappoint either. I didn’t expect that ending but glad how it ended…

Great Read

This book definitely had a lot of twists and turns. I have to be honest and say the storyline becomes visually predictable in the beginning. Like you will know who the culprit is immediately…but the plot twist will be the additional information and the back story. The writer throws you for a loop with small details that don’t add up….until they do!

Twists and Turns

Just when I thought I knew what was going on...Tanisha Stewart is a master at a keeping you guessing throughout the entire story. I thought I figured it out but I wasn't even close.

Clean up woman is a page turner with an ending you would never guess

I've never read a book with a ending like this one... Usually towards the end you can kinda predict where it's going, but just when you think you have it figured out, this book does a figure 8!!!! Love it..❣️

realily good

I really enjoyed this book. I can definitely see the growth as an author is her writing from the first books that I read. The twists and turns in this book were unexpected and definitely did not see that group of ppl as the culprits. Couldn't put it down

Great Book

Not your typical 'Nanny wants my husband story.' I loved the twist and turns the author took. You won't expect the ending. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

As the title says JAW-DROPPING

This book was interesting from the beginning to the end. I knew something was weird and off about Sasha or whatever her name was. I want spoil the book, but the title speaks for the book very well.
