GReat easy story!

This was an easy to listen to book without a ton of characters to keep up or unnecessary drama. Kept me interested all the way through. I do have a hard time with some British narrators but not this one!

Just ok

This book was only ok. I listened to it relatively quickly because it wasn’t very long really. The child narration was grating and distracting. I doubt the author is going to surprise many readers with this book. Also I know most people are highly offended by animal maltreatment even in fiction so I need to warn that there is an incident in the book that gave me pause. Really can’t recommend this one might be worth the sale price I guess. But yeah the narration was ughhhhh nails+chalkboard=one irritated mama!!!!

Just 'Meh'- Easy Read, sort of Boring

The Housemate was a very quick listen for me. I figured out the 'surprise ending' about half way through the book. It was a quick read, and I would recommend it as a beach read if anything.

Two roommates need a roommate to help pay their rent in a nice area of London. They take in Sammy, who seems great at first, but then turns sort of weird and creepy. What will the girls do to get her to leave? She has no intention of leaving, but she's no longer welcomed..

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a fast, simple psychological thriller. Not great, not terrible.

Should have listen to the reviews

I don’t review books often but in my opinion, don’t waste your money on this one. Wish I would have listened to the reviews. The narrators voice is annoying but let’s face it she didn’t have much to work with. The story drug out forever and just wasn’t what I would call a thriller. The only reason I finished it was the price I paid for it.

Jumpy at first

It jumped around for a bit and I had a hard time keeping up with the characters. Later, it wasn't that hard to figure out, because you know it's never the one you are lead to believe it should be. However, for me it was a fun listen, nothing brilliant. I might try another from this author.

Lots of twists !!!

Love domestic thrillers. This story had plenty of twists. I thought I knew what was going on half way through, but then the surprise came at the end !!!

Predictable but nice

The characters were solid but the story will be a bit predictable if you read/listen a lot of thriller books. In all honesty you’ll see the plot twist coming mid way through the book but with as crazy as 2020 is sometimes a predictable easy listen/read is fine and fair enough. I enjoyed it for what it was but if you want something super suspenseful and intense with red herrings and plot twists left and right this probably won’t leave you chomping at the bit to get to the end.
