Thank you NetGalley and the publisher.

This was a slow burn but has a great pace as well. K.L. Slater still holds a strong place in thriller writing as it is revealed in this book. This book held the old saying: when things are too good to be true.....run...LOL..But really, no one ever listens...they keep going until the see the truth. I really recommend this book but I do not want to give too much more because the little teaser is enough to feel spoiler-y. The book had a great ending.

Thank you again!

Freya's husband is dead. That leaves her short of money and having to move with her five year old daughter, Skye.
There isn't much money even with the insurance payment. Hopefully a place to live that is very reasonable will come up. Luckily she runs into the friendly older gentleman. He is just posting a vacancy when he sees her. After describing what he has available, there's no way Freya can say no to this opportunity. They begin moving in.
The people seem friendly if a little odd. But it's time for a new beginning, and Freya and Skye are ready to start their new life.
A truly remarkable book. You can't even imagine what will happen next!

After the loss of her husband, Freya Miller and her daughter Skye are offered this amazing opportunity to move into a spectacular apartment. After moving in, Freya starts to get an unsettling feeling about Doctor and Audrey Marsden.

I thought this book was well thought out and well researched. I am a psychology major in school which made me appreciate the work that went into creating this story. I thought the writing flowed nicely, making it an effortless read. I really enjoyed this suspenseful page turner!

A light thriller with plenty of twists, I really enjoyed this one! Just when life has handed her too much to handle, Freya and her daughter are shown a great opportunity to move to the "interesting" Adder House that is split up into apartments. Pretty early on, it is clear that something is off about this place, and the inhabitants. Things at the Adder House are not what they seem, and right up until the end, it's surprising who is behind the scenes and why! A quick read, and difficult to put down!

This novel reminds me of a Scooby-Doo mystery. It is pretty light and not particularly compelling, but it is not a horrible read. It is short, and entertaining, but the characters are flat and pretty unbelievable. Good for a quick read on a rainy day. Thank you NetGalley and publishers for providing an advance copy for review.

You know when you pick up a K.L Slater book that your in for a great read. This book certainly did not disappoint.
Freya Miller and her daughter Skye need to move and move quick. Their house has been sold and the money from a deceased husbands estate estate won’t last forever. While in a coffee shop she meets Dr Marsden. A chance conversion leads to the offer of an apartment in Adder House. Normally a place that would be well out of her budget but she’s offered it at a pittance of a rent.
You hear yourself shouting at Freya to get out but you’re not quite sure why. As the book unfolds you being to understand why!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the arc in return for an honest review

Newly widowed Freya is looking for somewhere to rent for her and her daughter Skye following the sale of her marital home. Meeting a charismatic doctor in a coffee shop, she agrees to go and view an apartment he is looking to rent in an upmarket house in Kensington.
Will this be the answer to her prayers?
Although I didn’t love this book I felt it was an entertaining read but it unfortunately did not live up to KL Slater’s usual standards.
I felt the plot was unbelievable and the ending lacking

Freya and her daughter, Skye, are offered the opportunity of a lifetime. To live in a beautiful house, Adder House, in the centre of London for minimal rent. It’s too good an opportunity to give up so Freya quickly agrees and moves in. But even Adder House has its secrets and quickly Freya feels like she is being watched; strange smells, things being moved, the blink of a camera. As things heighten, will Freya and Skye be able to escape the locked doors of their lives.

I loved this one. It was fast paced, easy to read and had many twists. I spent ages trying to work out who the bad guys were! The characters, Freya and Skye in particular, were likeable and I found myself cheering Freya on from my sofa.
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for this ARC

Freya's husband left her for another woman and subsequently died forcing Freya to sell her house and look for somewhere on a limited budget for her and her 5 year old daughter to live. Whilst in Starbucks she meets Dr. Marsden who seemingly is posting an advert for a flat in Adder House in Kensington at a rent to suit the ideal tenants budget. Freya with very few options views the property and not believing her look takes the flat and rapidly moves in.

It soon becomes apparent that all is not as it seems and her neighbours including the doctor are to say the least "rather odd". Many odd things happen which lead Freya to question her decision but having very few options she remains in the flat. She is told that she is the first occupant of that flat but it soon becomes apparent that this is not true and if something is too good to be true then it probably isn't.

I wasn't entirely surprised by the ending which was a little disappointing as I prefer to be wholly surprised but nevertheless this is a well written book and is well worth the read

I Have not read anything by this author before but I will look to read other books by her.
I would like to thank Netgalley UK and the publishers Thomas and Mercer for allowing me an Arc copy of the book for a fair and unbiased review of the book.

Slater has written many brilliant thrillers , this one included in which she added a creep factor that actually had me debating to continue at points. The mastermind plot behind this story was brilliant!

This was a fun, engaging, and sometimes spooky thriller. I honestly couldn’t figure out the ending! Its length makes it an easy binge read - I finished it in 2 sittings.

Freya is at a seemingly dead-end in her life when the great opportunity which is “the apartment” presents itself. While knowing all seems too good to be true, Freya just wants what is best for her daughter Skye and to give her the life she deserves after so much tragedy.

However, when strange things begin to happen... are heard... are seen... Freya begins to question everything. As the story begins to unravel about how and why Freya and Skye ended up at Adder House, so does Freya’s mind.

A gripping story throughout and it definitely kept me on my toes.
The ending felt a bit rushed in my opinion. A good read regardless though!

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for the ARC!

Argh. The concept of this book was great, but it was so repetitive, drawn out and pretty boring. There were some weird characters that made no real sense in the book. One was the ex-husbands mistress. Why did she have such a big role in the book in the beginning and why was she so worried about getting Freya’s ex-husband’s money. I get part of the reason behind it, but so much more could have been written in the book that added more value to the story. The ending of the book came to such an odd abrupt halt, it made the ending super awkward.

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for my ARC for my honest review!

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review -
Freya and her daughter Sky are looking for an apartment after her husband dies. She meets Dr. mausden who offers he a great deal on an apartment. She and her daughter love it so decide to take it.
But then - - strange things begin to happen,
What is going on in this house?
Are they safe?

Freya & her daughter have to unfortunately move house after Skye's father and Freya's ex partner passes away. Freya is approached by Dr Marsden and offered a flat in Adder House. Freya accepts and can't believe her luck at first! Everything seems so wonderful, but as time goes on and Freya starts meeting all the residents she finds out things are not as they seem. I enjoyed the book overall but felt the ending was a little rushed. I could relate to Freya and the storyline was enjoyable with plenty of shocks along the way.

Wow! What a twisty psychologically taut thriller! When Freya falls on hard times due to circumstances beyond her control her main priority is to make sure her 5 year old daughter is secure. Part of which is finding an affordable place to live. A tall order in London. So when a Dr. Marsden approaches her at the notice board in a busy coffee shop offering a place that ticks off all the boxes and more, Freya can’t believe what she’s being offered. But the gorgeous apartment in the affluent neighbourhood of Kensington checks out and moving day is imminent. She begins to notice that all the neighbours although well meaning are a bit odd. But Freya must not look a gift horse in the mouth. However when weird things begin to happen such as moved furniture, whispers and rumors start to circulate Freya must look into these odd disturbances. And when the tenants become a bit too focused on her child Skye, Freya must get to the bottom of this gorgeous home turned nightmare before it’s too late for them both.

A fast paced, interesting thriller from the great KL Slater. Special thanks to Netgalley and Amazon UK publishing for this exciting ARC.

This book introduces us to Freya and her daughter Skye, who are ready for a fresh new start when they are approached by a stranger offering a great deal on an apartment. The timing is perfect, so you know something more sinister is taking place.

She keeps feeling like she is being constantly watched and followed, but just brushes these feelings off. Odd things start happening, both at Skye's new school and around the apartment.

She meets a construction worker who tells her another single mother used to live in the same apartment and commited suicide, but of course this is no accident. The owners deny it, but she does her own detective work and discovers the awful truth.

This book had the potential to be really scary, but just fell flat as far as suspense. I kept thinking to myself, this better not be about vampires, but let's just say it is about a bunch of mad scientists, literally. I was, however, surprised by who was in charge of the whole operation and why their family got picked to live there.

This was definitely a mind blown, thought provoking psychological thriller. Freya was offered to live in a huge house decked out as apartments for a low rate not knowing what she was getting into. The fear instilled, thinking she’s going crazy, just to find out it all wasn’t real. Freya definitely didn’t know who to trust until it was too late. Definitely would recommend this book. It was a page turner.

Thank you so much for this ARC!

I feel like I absolutely flew through this book - I love that! I was so intrigued to see what was happening inside of Adder House and how the journal entries and experiment were going to tie in to the present day.

Such a great read and I recommend for anyone looking for a fast and interesting read.

I’ve never read anything by this author but the bright cover drew me in. Although this book was a little predictable and didn’t wow me like other thrillers I‘ve read, I look forward to checking out what else she has written. Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced copy!
