Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. I love K.L. Slater. She is my favorite thriller author. The suspense was good, although parts were predictable to me. This seems to be a new plot that a lot of authors are using...someone moves in or housesits, someone is out to get them etc. But I still enjoyed the book and powered through it.

K.L. Slater is the reason I started reading thrillers. This was a good book, but I do feel parts were predictable and it wasn't as good as her previous book. I feel like this is a new plot used by authors and starting to be used too much. however, the book itself was good. the suspense was good, kept me guessing etc.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview THE APARTMENT BY KL SLATER. Ms. Slater just does not disappoint in her latest thriller. I find she writes for women facing struggles and hardship and finds a way to give the reader some heart palpitations at the same time.
A young woman and her child face homelessness after a failed marriage and she finds an apartment with an offer she can't refuse. Soon things start to get strange - the feeling of being watched and overall spookiness. What is going on and is this a place where she will live or die!
Very good book - recommend - 4 stars.

Wow! Absolutely loved this book! I'm a huge fan of K. L. Slater's books and this one was just as great as all her other books. Just as she is about to lose her family home, Freya is shocked but delighted when a seemingly random encounter with a man leads to Freya and her daughter Skye being offered the chance to rent a stunning apartment at a low cost. Is it really too good to be true? It soon becomes apparent that there is something strange going on and that the house is hiding secrets. Will Freya discover what is going on before something awful happens to them? A fantastic story with a brilliant twist, I also really loved the ending. Totally recommend this book!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley.

I read this book really fast. The whole story was great, the climax was good, but the ending kind of fizzled out for me. All in all, great book. 3.5 stars out of 5.

The Apartment by K.L. Slater follows Freye and her daughter Skye. They are recently without a home, so when a too-goo-to-be-true apartment becomes available, Freya jumps on it. Adder House is beautiful, and seems welcoming with its quiet tenants. Freya can't shake the feeling that this house is too perfect, as she hears strange noises and knocks. She lets it go, until she gets a sinister warning from the previous tenant's sister. Get out, or something will happen to her. Freya is at a crossroads, but before she can make her decision, the truth comes out.

This book was very entertaining, and I very much enjoyed how it incorporated classic psychology studies. I felt the ending was a bit rushed, and more buildup could add to the tension and suspense. Overall, well written and gripping plot.

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read and review!

3.5 stars. Something was missing for me.

I was slightly disappointed by this read which drew me in with the stunning cover. I'd heard of KL Slater before and I know she's quite popular, so I was excited to give The Apartment a go.

Unfortunately I had a few problems with this book. I didn't find any of the characters likeable (not even Skye - oops) and I struggled with the plot working out so neatly. However, it was very atmospheric and I enjoyed the setting very much.

Would I recommend? Maybe, if you're not a very demanding fan of thrillers. But I prefer authors like Shari Lapena and even Gillian Flynn to this writing style. I would, however, love to read more books from this author.

This book was a quick easy read. Although there were a few twists in it the story overall was quite predictable, and not all that suspenseful.

The fuq I just read? Not as well crafted as the author’s other thrillers, but worth reading for the weird factor

Freya’s life is in tatters. Her husband has cheated on her and she’s losing her home. How will she provide a safe place for her daughter? She believes her luck is changing when she finds an affordable apartment rented out by the charming Dr. Marsden. While initially the Apartment seems like a godsend, Freya soon senses something odd about her new home, something that may be worse than anything she ever imagined

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review this book. If you are in the mood for suspense then you will want to read this book. If you are in mood to be surpised and shocked how the story plays out then by all means read this book. After reading this book you will want to devour every novel written by Slater.
