Room for Rent

De: Noelle Ihli

Narrado por: Lisa Cordileone

An intense claustrophobic thriller about a young woman who comes to the terrifying realization that the strange happenings in her run-down rental house may be coming from within the very four walls where she sleeps...

“Gripping and unpredictable, a spine-tingling, deeply visceral experience. I recommend reading it with the lights blazing.” —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

“With characters you’ll relate to, empathize with, and root for, it’s easy to get lost in this atmospheric and utterly claustrophobic story.” —Kiersten Modglin, bestselling author of The Arrangement

Nya can’t remember the last time she felt safe.

The rundown rental house didn’t seem so bad at first. But now, someone is stealing her food. Rattling her bedroom doorknob. Digging through her belongings.

Each night brings more disturbing incidents. And each night, Nya is more convinced that it’s not an intruder. She suspects the culprit is hiding in plain sight: her peculiar roommate-of-necessity, Sidney.

Nya can’t afford to live anywhere else. The horrible rental is her only option. In a few months, she’ll finish her final semester of college—and get the hell out of dodge. But to her horror, the sinister mind games are just the beginning. Before long, she’s forced to face the possibility that her physical safety may be at risk. Maybe even her life.

The truth is more terrifying than Nya could have guessed. And as the situation spirals out of control, it’s suddenly clear that surviving the night may no longer be an option.

Pretty good

Pretty good story but was predictable half way through. Still a good read. Author is becoming one of my favorites.

Easy to follow with less characters

Decent story. Easy to know who the villain is but still made me want to listen to how it played out

Really enjoyed

So I will admit, I had guessesd the plot twist about half way through. however, that didn't take away from the book at all. I would definitely recommend. The narrator is great too!

Predictable

The “ big twist” was very predictable. I figured it out very early on in the book. Considering how early I figured it out I expected to be wrong thinking it was just trying to make you think that but nope… other than that it was a good read. Also the chapters are split up really weird? Like one chapter will encompass multiple situations yet they’ll start a new chapter in the middle of a climactic event. Really strange.

Good, but missing something

I feel like there were pieces left out of this story. I really really needed some sort of closure with Sid. I was hoping they would have at least a conversation after everything. I also feel like the protagonist might be a little bit in love with her best friend? Idk, this book just felt a little unfinished. Still a fun ride though.

Amazing

This book was amazing. It kept you on your toes at all times from the word go I can’t write to read more.

thriller... twist and turns

absolutely loved this book.. it keeped me guessing, I didn't predict the plot twist at all..

Did not want to put it down!

Great unexpected storyline! I have found a new favorite author. Also loved Ask for Andrea!

Good But Predictable

The book kept my interest, but with only a few characters, I figured it out early in the book.

Loved it

Enjoyed this one. Great twists!! Some of them i could guess but most I did not see coming at all.
