Adam, Jess and their three children move into what they envisage as their Dream Home. A real Fixer-Upper in a prestigious location, it's the home Jess has always wanted and now they have finally got it, albeit with their finances stretched to the max.

Adam starts tackling a room on the top floor and while dismantling a wardrobe finds a 'secret' room. A small indowleas cubbyhole of a room which houses an old set of drawers and an armchair. Curiosity getting the best of him Adam goes through the drawers to find that each drawer holds one item. A completely random collection but one item in particular piques his interest, a watch that looks valuable, just what he needs to help his cashflow problem because unbeknown to Jeaa, Adam no longer has a job.

Wanting to find out more about this bizarre collection of items, Adam starts investigating bit soon wishes hed done what Jess asked and dispose of it all!

This was a totally suspenseful tale that had me whizzing through at lightning speed. Its eerily creepy and set at a a real fast pace that constantly kept me on my toes. I loved the sense of paranoia it brought and the constant niggling questions.

Perfectly plotted, heart poundingly exciting and 100% unputdownable.
Tim is a master of suspense and tension but this one has got to be the best yet!


Many thanks for Netgalley and Bonnier Books for the ARC.

The Dream Home
T.M Logan

Publication Date: 29th Feb 2024

First off Thanks so much to author T.M Logan and Netgalley.co.uk for the chance to read an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was a great read that hooked me from the very first page and kept me gripped throughout.

Adam, Jess and their 3 kids have just moved into their Dream Home when Adam comes across a hidden room found behind a wardrobe. Its small but inside he finds a number of unusual items - the more he looks into them, the more fascinated and intrigued he becomes and the story behind them and how they got into this hidden room inside his house.

I dont want to give anything away so I wont say too much else but this one is defo full of twists. So many surprises and the mystery and tension throughout had me hooked. I just couldnt put it down and raced through it to find out how the story unravelled.

The plot flowed really well and kept me guessing the whole time - the best kind of thriller read.

Defo recommend Guys!
Get pre ordering.

Cant wait to see what T.M Logan comes up with next!

Wow! This could quite possibly be my favourite T.M Logan book!

It's an eerie mystery that I couldn't quite see where it was going to go. I love how details are fed in drips and drabs to build up the suspense.

I really liked the twist with the who-dunnit. It was different but very clever!

Highly recommend!

This is a solid thriller, written by an author fairly new to me. I therefore had no preconceived ideas going into this one. Let me tell you, it blew e away! It's a stunning read, so well written, fantastic characrterisation and twists throughouts. Don't let the typical tropes put you off, this a fine thriller!

Oooooh, this one was full of twists and turns and my favourite of the TM Logans so far! I love that it's combined a mystery with an eerie old house ghost mystery and slowly unraveled leaving me wanting to read more, and trusting no-one. The characters were great and the pieces of the puzzle were great fun to put together

📚BOOK REVIEW 📚

The Dream Home @tmloganauthor

I would first like to thank the author and @netgalley for giving me early access to this book in exchange for my thoughts.

I love T.M Logan's books and I've enjoyed the ones that have been converted to TV dramas. I like the author's writing style and find his books are really easy to get into and hook you from the start. He is an auto buy author and so when I saw this was available to request on @netgalley I couldn't believe my luck in getting approved.

Adam, his wife, Jess and three children move into their dream home. There is some work needed to be done to the home but they are excited to get going. When Adam dismantles a dresser which is attached to some side panelling he finds a hidden door to a room. Curiosity gets the better of Adam and he soon finds some furnishings as well as some random but personal belongings. When Jess just wants to get on with the unpacking, Adam finds he can't quite leave things well alone. He wants answers and won't stop until he gets some. This is a case of sometimes you're just better off not knowing.

Starting off with an opening like that you can't help but read on as Adams discoveries make for a cracking read. Sadly this is not the dream home they wished for. It's such a suspenseful read but you just want to find out what it all means. And there are revelations that I just didn't see coming. It's a great creepy read and I definitely don't want to live there!

I cannot wait to read more from this author. His storytelling is a winner for me.

The Dream Home ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oh my gosh, this book was amazing. It was full of intrigue and suspense!

Adam and Jess, along with their 3 children move into their dream home on an exclusive gated estate. Adam soon finds a hidden secret room where he finds some random items. He begins to investigate what they are who they belonged to when he starts to receive threats of harm if he doesn’t hand them over.

I loved that this was written from a male point of view by a male author and that the story was told almost exclusively from his pov. It was an easy book to follow and I never felt exasperated by poor choices being made.

There was a twist and it truly was a surprise. I’m not sure if I’m just getting terrible with my guesses or if authors are getting more clever / adventurous with their endings! I’ll go with the latter!

This is by far the best book I have read from TM Logan. It had me gripped from start to finish and is a real page turner. I couldn’t wait to get to the end!

Thank you to TM Logan, NetGalley and Bonnier books for this advanced digital copy in return for my honest review!

A great thriller, full of intrigue and tension. A very original storyline with great main characters, you certainly won´t bored reading this. If you´re thinking about buying a new home, it will certainly make you want to check every nook and cranny so that you know exactly what the house consists of.......!

Imagine the excitement of moving into your forever home, the house that you simply fell in love with. Imagine the excitement of finding a hidden room that piqued your curiosity to a point where you became determined to find out its history. Now imagine your determination just irked a psychopath..

The Dream Home was a great read, filled with mystery and suspense. I love that T.M. Logan was able to keep me guessing until the final reveal of the perpetrator, I find this to be fairly uncommon. Not once did this character enter my mind!

I look forward to future reads from T.M. Logan.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Books UK for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review 📖

This author is the master of suspense and an auto read for me. The Dream Home is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The story follows Adam, Jess, and their three children as they move into a beautiful Victorian mansion in Nottingham where Adam discovers a hidden room behind a wardrobe, filled with mysterious artefacts.
T.M. Logan never disappoints and has delivered another thriller for you to sink your teeth into this year!

Logan is a firm favourite author for me. You know you are in for a turbulent ride when you pick up one of his books. The Dream Home is no exception.
When Adam and Jess move their family into their dream family home they unearth some secrets hiding in a hidden room. Adam, fascinated by the items, can’t help but investigate further, putting the whole family in danger.
Absolutely gripping, so many possibly people who could be connected and this book had me guessing and changing my mind so many times. Cleverly written to drip feed clues which you only realise are clues at the end. You would be mad to miss out on this one.
Thank you to NetGalley, T.M. Logan and Bonnier Books for this ARC in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, T.M. Logan never disappoints. There was always something going on, and whilst it was pretty obvious where it was going from the beginning it definitely didn’t hinder how much I enjoyed the book. The only reason it isn’t a 5 star is because I didn’t warm to some of the characters and thought certain plot points were unnecessary.

Loved this thriller. It was deceptively clever and exceptionally gripping.

My only criticism was that It lacked pace in the middle but I was hooked by that point so it really made very little difference.

A really interesting concept and a unique perspective.

Adam and Jess along with their three children have just moved house. When Adam discovers a hidden room behind a wardrobe, which contains some furniture including a dresser, which contains a collection of forgotten items: Rolex watch, a flip phone, a wallet, dogs collar, couple of rings and a key. This is something we all do bunk it in a draw and forget about them to a later date. Curious about the items, as they say curiosity kills the cat, but instead has Adam but has just put his family in danger.

I love T.M Logan's books, he is an instant buy whenever he has a new book out. I was thrilled to get an advance copy. 'The Dream House' is one of my favourites to date. There was a lot of tension and suspense throughout that left you guessing until the end. I highly hope it gets adapted later on into a tv series like some of his previous works. If there was something I could alter, which isn't much would be that Jess got fleshed out a little more but that just me nit picking.

4.5 Stars

Tension Fuelled..
A rambling Victorian villa represents the dream home for Adam, Jess and their family- despite the work that needs to be done, the house seems perfect for them. As they move in and begin to explore it’s not long before Adam makes some intriguing discoveries and something is set in motion that may well change everything. A cast of deftly drawn and credible characters populate a propulsive and swiftly moving plot peppered with unexpected twists and huge doses of intrigue. Tense and claustrophobic, engaging and suspenseful this is another breathless read to devour in one tension fuelled sitting.

Adam and Jess, along with their 3 children and pets have just moved into their new home in Nottingham. It is everything they wanted, Victorian with plenty of space although it’s a bit rundown so lots of work to do. Well written with a brilliant plot this is a fast paced, gripping read with a bit of a horror vibe almost from the start. Narrated by Adam and in dual timeline it had me turning the pages late into the night.

Briefly, Adam has just been made redundant but hasn’t told Jess yet although he is worried he may not have enough money to keep paying the mortgage. First day in, Adam finds a secret room in the attic. Investigating further he finds a number of items in the room including an old Rolex watch. Is it the answer to his money problems?

It is in fact the start of a nightmare for him and his family as they find themselves getting deeper and deeper in danger. A very cleverly written thriller with twists all the way through leaving you wondering who, if anyone, can be trusted. There is a real sense of terror pervading the pages of this book, enough to make me shudder as I was reading. A very good read.

4.5⭐️

Really enjoyed this book. I was trying to guess who dunnit the whole time. Good characters and an an interesting story. The only negative for me was that it was a little too long.

Adam and Jess move into their dream home with their three children and a variety of pets. As Adam starts to investigate the rooms upstairs, he comes across a hidden room concealed by furniture. Inside are old bits of furniture. One piece is a dresser. As Adam looks through the drawers, he finds a different item in each one. There is an old mobile phone with one number. Jess sends a message. The reply comes back, and the family find themselves in danger.
This was such a page turner. The tension slowly building. I didn't know who to trust. Adam seemed slightly unhinged at times, especially as he was hiding a big secret from Jess.
The ending was totally unexpected, which I love because that means the author has done a great job of keeping up the suspense.
The only thing I would say is that when you are added to a WhatsApp group, you can't see previous messages which Adam could.
No pets were harmed, which is a major plus for me.
A definite winner for Logan.
Thank you to Bonnier/ Zaffire for the invitation to read this in return for an honest review

Eeeeeek, this was so fun! Hours of my day were absorbed reading this. Ah, Adam - what will he do next!? Such a page turner! Had me guessing until the very end and I totally didn’t see final twist coming. Hah! A really fun read. Perfect for a long commute, holiday, or a lazy weekend!

This book was absolutely brilliant! It was totally addictive and the pace just kept going all the way through. I had no idea how it was going to finish and the ending took me by surprise, I had no idea! I really recommend this book, I have read a lot of TM Logan books and I would say this is my favourite!
