The Dream Home by TM Logan
I give this book 4.25 stars.

When Adam and Jess move into a new house with their three young children he discovers a door hidden behind a fitted wardrobe, concealing a secret room . . .
Inside Adam discovers a collection of forgotten items.Jess thinks they should simply throw them away. But Adam resists and finds himself setting in motion a series of events that will place his family in terrible danger . . .

I know I’m always in for a great read from this author.The plot flowed well and the twists and red herrings had my mind whirling with theories and guesses as the story unraveled. Narrated by Adam who is keeping a secret of his own and with more than one timeline l found the hidden room completely believable but not sure I’d be brave enough to do what he did especially as someone clearly didn’t want the truth to be revealed.
An enjoyable domestic thriller that would make a good tv series.
With thanks to Netgalley,TM Logan and
Bonnier Books UK, Zaffre for my chance to read and review this book.

Another brilliant read from the fabulous author, T M Logan!
The Dream Home is a creepy thriller, with likeable characters, and a fast paced, twisty plot. It tells the story of Adam and Jess who move into their new house with their three children, and begin to uncover secrets that have stayed hidden for decades. This novel, set in Nottingham, had me hooked from the first page and certainly didn’t disappoint all the way through to the end.
I was delighted to be given the opportunity by NetGallery to read this ARC, and I can honestly say that I think this is TM Logan’s best book yet. I shall definitely be recommending this to my family and friends when it is released in 2024!

When you buy an old house, you buy its secrets too…

T.M. Logan's latest psychological thriller captivates from the very first page, weaving a tale of secrets and suspense around an old Victorian house, new family owners and a secret room that has been long-sealed and hidden. Adam, Jess, and their three children move into a family home of their dreams, but Adam’s discovery sets in motion a dangerous chain events as mysteries of the past collide with secrets of the present.

I found the character of Adam to be both a relatable and complex character, whose quest to uncover the truth behind the sealed room and its bizarre contents entirely engaging as he tries to balance the safety of his family and his own curiosities. I am a fan of psychological thrillers and yet the twists and turns in this narrative truly kept me guessing and emotionally invested in the fate of the characters until the very end.

Every book by T.M. Logan is a treat meant to be savored! I loved his newest release, telling the story of a family moving into a seemly perfect house, yet discovering some things are too good to be true in the process.

When Adam, Jess and their children move into a Victorian house in a gated road, they feel they are in their dream home, but when Adam accidentally discovers a secret sealed off room, complete with some very odd objects which he decides to investigate, things go wrong quickly, with threats to him, his family and the house.
This is the best Tim Logan book I have read since 29 Seconds. I felt frightened and confused at who to trust. With the baddy always one step ahead, I felt myself second guessing everything. A scary yet enjoyable read.

This is definitely another big fat 5 star read by T.M Logan.
I really enjoyed this new book. The plot is clever and there’s plenty of twists throughout this book.
I raced through it and it’s certainly in my top 10 books of the year.

As usual Logan has created another winning read. Loved every minute and was late to work because I couldn’t let it go. One of those books that fills you with sadness when it ends, because you want more of the characters

This was enjoyable but not as enjoyable as other books I’ve read by this author. I found the plot about the creepy house to be pretty generic however I did think the ending and main twist was pretty unique.

Perfectly plotted and riveting The Dream Hose is a MUST read for psychological thriller lovers, and fans of T. M. Logan’s writing. The Dream House tells the story of Adam and Jess who move into their you guessed it! DREAM HOUSE with their three young children. Before they’ve even finished unpacking Adam discovers a door hidden behind a fitted wardrobe, concealing a secret room, and so begins a twisted and troubling tale. Personally I think Adam would have fared better if he had heeded the warning ‘somethings are best led buried’.He sets in motion a series of events that will place his family in terrible danger. What makes this book such a gripping read is the fact that he takes ordinary people and puts them in the most extraordinary situations.

Logan’s use of strong imagery to describe the house creates a creepy atmosphere that draws the reader in from the opening chapter. I loved how the author uses multiple timelines to add to the suspense. He never gives too much away allowing the reader to second guess where the plots leading. Some of my guesses were imaginative to say the least, but not on par with the authors dare I say dark and vivid imagination! With perfectly placed twists and turns The Dream House is one of those books that’s begs to be read in one hugely satisfying sitting.

Goodness! Another T.M. Logan novel that reads like a movie, taking you on a wild ride. Maybe not the book to read when you're looking for a house yourself, like me, haha!
I warmed up to the family quite quickly and got invested in the story not through the dad's obsession but for all its consequences on everyone living under this roof.
As usual, the writing is detailed and descriptive enough so you get a clear image of everything in your head while leaving space for imagination.

Another excellent read from TM Logan who is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
His technique of ensuring it is almost impossible to not want to start the next chapter is rather clever.
I had to force myself to put the book down on a night!
I enjoyed the book, and of course the twist towards the end. I have found some of his other stories more intense and the storylines more exciting than this one but I still found I wanted to keep reading and the writing style is easy going which is perfect for me!
I will certainly be looking out for the next book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book. I enjoy a thriller, and this book does not disappoint. The reading puts you on the edge of your seat, and leaves you guessing an every page turn. Some was repetitive - multiple characters interacting with the main character suffered from ' a look flitting across their face briefly' - but I was surprised by the ending. An enjoyable read

I really like book by this author, but I find that I skip to the good parts vs reading it word for word. This family moved into a new house and finds a hidden room with a locked dresser. Inside are items that are clearly trophies from a killer. But who put them there? I was on edge trying to figure out exactly who the killer was and why the items were left behind. I did not see the ending coming. Good suspense. Just maybe a little too long and slow for me in the beginning.

A great book by T.M.Logan. Drawing you in from the first page this thriller of a book has you rooting for the very likeable characters. With plenty of tension I wasn't sure what was going on half the time but in a good way! I was not expecting the ending either. A fab book that I couldn't put down. I highly recommend this book and author.

TM Logan is one of those authors that always delivers and this was a very suspenseful mystery which I think fans of his will very much enjoy

After moving into his dream home with his family, Adam comes across a hidden room where he uncovers a few strange, random items. When he starts to look into them (and sell one of them) he quickly realises their importance to other people and the lengths that they will go to get them back.

Whilst some of his decisions were a bit dubious, by nature I am a very curious person so I was very much rooting for Adam in his search for the truth. Whilst I felt the story did get a little confusing at some points (it may just have been me) it was a thrilling climax.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bonnier Books UK, Zaffre, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Well this certainly didn’t disappoint. It was a really great storyline, with lots of twists and turns. You got to the point where you were not sure who were the goodies and who were the baddies, which meant 5hat each chapter had extra jeopardy. The ending was excellent and very well constructed. Totally left field. So good I really wanted it to keep going.

The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Adam discovers a hidden room within the house, unveiling a collection of mysterious objects.

The true strength of "The Dream Home" lies in its ability to keep readers engaged with a multifaceted plot.

As the tension escalates, so does the emotional investment in the characters, making it difficult to put the book down..

When Adam finds a secret room and some hidden objects, he could never have imagined what would follow... A tense and thrilling book that keeps you turning the pages until the shocking ending. Brilliant, I loved it!

I loved this thriller, which is about a man called Adam, his wife Jess and their three children, who move into a new house. They find a secret hidden area in the house, which contains different treasures that hold secrets, and these treasures lead to surprises. The book is full of mystery, secrets, tension and suspense, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! I have read other books by this author, and they have all been fantastic. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

T.M. Logan is usually the master of pacing - I've been gripped by all his books except The Holiday - but The Dream Home is another rare Logan dud. The premise is promising. Adam moves into a new house with his family and discovers a secret room that looks like it hasn't been touched for decades. In the room, he finds a collection of strange and mostly valueless objects - a watch, an old Nokia phone, a scarf, an empty wallet. Having recently lost his job, Adam decides to investigate these objects, but when he receives a mysterious text message on the ancient phone, he starts to wonder if his family is in danger.

The Dream Home spins its wheels until we're almost halfway through, inexplicably holding back a key reveal about the objects that finally sets the plot in motion. There were the makings of a tense thriller here, but it takes so long to get going, and then doesn't spend enough time on the good stuff, as Adam puts the pieces together too easily. I was also annoyed by the lost-his-job plot, which doesn't go anywhere and felt like an awkward contrivance to explain why he spends so much time trying to work out where these objects came from, and why he gets rid of one of them early in the book. It's basically lampshading, as his behaviour still doesn't quite add up. Disappointing, but I'll still look out for more from Logan. If you want to read one of my favourites, I loved 29 Seconds, Trust Me and The Curfew.
