Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. I a a huge fan of K L Slater's books and add this one to the pile of great reads as well. I was hooked from the start with this book. The creepiness and unease I felt whilst reading it were palpable. You just know when things seem too good to be true there is usually something sinister lurking and in The Apartment there are definitely some sinister lurkings. Another addictive read from K L Slater.⭐⭐⭐⭐ #klslater #theapartment #netgalley #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads #thestorygraph #litsy #thriller #bookqueen #bookstagram

Amazing book from one of my favorite authors! The plot was full of twists and turns and I was shocked by the ending!

I have discovered most of my new favorite writers on NetGalley. K.L Slater is one of them. Her novels are filled with suspense and always keep me guessing until the end. I always end up talking about these books at work or with friends. "The Apartment:" is another example of an amazing read; and totally worth it!

3.5 stars out of 5 stars. It was a solid thriller with an interesting plot and ending. I did not the ending as shocking as I hoped but I still enjoyed the read.

Absolutely love K L Slater's books and this one does not disappoint. A 'can't put down' book as it draws you in from the very first chapter

I was initially excited by the plot of this book but, but ultimately had to push myself to finish it. The protagonist, Freya, made every poor choice imaginable. I had to suspend belief to follow a story where a woman could be that dumb and continue to put her child in harm's way. The book completely lost the plot when it introduced the premise that eventually led to the ending.

2.5 stars

This book was excellent right up until about 75% of the way through and then it felt rushed. The final chapters felt like a deadline was about to be missed. I genuinely feel like there was a better story to be told....

The Apartment is a fast-paced psychological thriller. I was able to finish the entire book within one sitting. There were many twists but most of them ended up being predictable. I liked the build-up towards the end. The climax was awesome too.

This heavily reminded me of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager which is one of my favourite books. This was good, obviously not as good as lock every door but still an okay read. Freya was frustrating at times they way she ignores things that should start alarm bells ringing drove me nuts but she's definitely someone you want everything to work out for and I was rooting for her. The similarities between this and Lock Every Door definitely knocked this down a star as I could tell where it was going. But overall a quick enjoyable read that kept me turning the pages.


Thank you so much to the publishers at netgalley for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

My first read by this author and this psychological thriller kept me turning the pages. It's a slow burn and builds up and the last part of the book is suspenseful and full of twists and turns.....kept me turning the pages. Would love to read more by this author.

This twisted psychological thriller had me hooked from the start. Freya needs a break and when an amazing opportunity presents itself, even though it seems too good to be true, she snaps it up. Soon enough, strange things start to happen and Freya wonders whether she has made a huge mistake. The problem is, she has nowhere left to go.

This is the first novel that I've read by the author and I look forward to reading more of her work, The story will drraw you in from the very start and you won't want to put it down!

Huge thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this.

This was a good one! A brilliantly creepy story about a mother and daughter that moves into an apartment block with an unknown dark and sinister history. This book had me on the edge of my seat most of the way through and is definitely going on my favourites list of books I've read this year. Really good read :)

Captivating read. I could not put it down. This story has so many twists and turns that keep the reader guessing.

Wow. What a ride from start to finish. Fast paced storyline that had me hooked throughout. Another great novel from K L Slater

I have never read this author before but I am so very glad I read this book. I got it from NetGalley and I can't thank them enough for sending it to me. You open the book and start reading and you are so hooked you don't want to put it down. So you don't, you just keep reading. This is a riveting book. Thank you for writing such a great book!

Sadly, this wasn’t the gripping psychological thriller I was hoping for. The pacing was entirely too slow for my liking, and I felt myself losing interest the farther I read. It wasn’t until the 80% mark that I became slightly intrigued. I remain hopeful that I’ll enjoy other works by this author, but unfortunately this one missed the mark.

I can’t believe how fast I read this book! It’s short but it’s so captivating that I didn’t want to put it down. Parts seemed a bit far fetched. But it did keep me on the edge of my seat. I needed to know what was happening. Aspects reminded me of Turn of the Key, Verity and Lock the Door. Though the twist was unexpected. I didn’t see it coming.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review.

I enjoyed the ride this book this book took me on. It’s best to read it in the right frame of mind, when you want a light suspense/thriller/whodunit and you don’t want to have to think too hard about it and you’re able to suspend disbelief for quite a while.

My favorite character in the story was Skye, the daughter. Fairly mature for a 5-year-old, I got the sense that she was far more sensible than her own mother while still showing the sweet naïveté and imagination of her age. After all, who doesn’t love a good stuffed unicorn?

Freya, Skye’s mother and the main character, was hard to get on board with. The story is told primarily from her own POV, and she divulges a lot about her own past, her marriage, and the events that lead her to take up residence at Adder House. Yet, by the end of the book, I still felt like a barely knew her. And we never get to find out how her husband died?? I absolutely thought that would factor in to what was happening and was disappointed that it didn’t and it was just...left behind.

The climax toward the end of the novel gave me the answers I wanted, but it just seemed very over-the-top and “this could never happen in REAL life”.....though oddly enough, I’m also sure it probably COULD. Either way, this novel was a good, quick, light mind game that I overall enjoyed.

I am currently reading this and am loving it. K L Slater has become my auto-buy author for a thriller.

This was such a creepy and bizarre read, I couldn't put it down! Although, I was left really wondering how the ex-husband died, because that was a huge plot point of the book that was never really explained. Super great read!
