Publisher's summary

SHE INVITED HIM IN, NOW SHE CAN’T GET HIM OUT . . .

The most addictive psychological thriller you’ll hear this summer.

Donna is so ready to start her new life. But the nightmare has only just begun.

Donna’s had enough of her dead-end job in Chicago, her unhappy family life, and total lack of boyfriend. Then her grandmother leaves her this perfect turquoise-blue bungalow in the California hills. Things are finally looking up.

And now she’s found the perfect roommate to help pay the bills. Joshua keeps the fridge stocked with delicious fresh food, they watch cooking shows together and stay up late sharing their deepest secrets. He’s not just a roommate, he’s a friend, and soon Donna can’t imagine life without him.

But Donna can’t stop the doubts creeping in. Where did he get that key to the side door? And what are the strange sounds coming from his room?

Then Donna brings home her new boyfriend, and things start to spiral out of control.

Her perfect roommate is about to become her worst nightmare.

A dark and twisty domestic thriller with an ending you won’t forget. Fans of Shari Lapena, Becca Day, Patricia MacDonald, Freida McFadden, Nicole Trope and Susanna Beard will not be able to put this book down.

“Relentlessly tense and unsettling, The Roommate is a novel as dark as it is addictive.”—Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot

“The Roommate is like nothing I’ve read before. I could not put it down.”—Julia Fine, author of The Upstairs House

There's no way.

Even if you suspend every logical reflex you have and manage to pause all semblance of reality within your functioning mind... this will still be too outlandish to swallow. Not a single believable moment or a solitary likeable character. I wish I'd passed on this one.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
