I hate to leave negative feedback but this was pretty dire. After about the 1st 10/20% I knew exactly what the twist would be, extremely predictable for the "who", maybe not quite so for the "why" but that wasn't enough sadly.
I can say that the writing style was good and easy to read, short chapters a bonus too but the predictability ruined it completely.
Unfortunately I can only offer 2 stars, thank you #NetGalley for the arc

This is a creepy and claustrophobic psychological thriller which will certainly mess with your head. I really liked this book and would recommend to anyone who likes this author or genre.

Ahhh, another book where the female main character may or may not be crazy. This one was very slow, taking most of the book to build up to something exciting, and then it was over as quickly as it happened, leaving much to be desired. This one just didn’t hit the spot for me.

The Silent House is an unsettling, twisty psychological thriller that pulls you in and keeps you guessing right up until the final page. H. M. Lynn does a fantastic job creating a chilling atmosphere—you can practically feel the creeping dread as the story unfolds.
From the moment the main character moves into her new countryside home with Patrick, everything feels just a little off. The strange neighbors, the eerie shadows outside the window, and the constant sense of being watched create a thick sense of paranoia that only grows stronger as the story progresses.
What I loved about this book is the way it plays with your mind—you’re never quite sure what’s real and what’s not. The tension keeps building, and just when you think you’ve figured out what’s going on, the story takes another dark, unexpected turn.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers filled with suspense, isolation, and creeping paranoia, The Silent House is a must-read. Prepare to question everything… and maybe double-check your locks!

Caution: may contain spoilers.
It took me over a month to read this book. There was nothing inherently wrong with it. The storyline was a bit choppy to me. I HATED Patrick from the moment he was introduced. Imogen wasn’t my fav either.
A married couple is moving out of the city to the countryside. Im has been undergoing IVF to create babies for some odd reason. So her hormones are crazy and Patrick is just a douche. Once at the new place, crazy things start happening. Are they real? Is something sinister going on or is Im just crazy?
I didn’t hate the book but it felt like it took forever to get to the mystery part and then it felt like it ended abruptly. I can’t explain it well I guess.

Firstly, this book has short chapters which i love because i believe it adds to developing the pace of the book.
This book started off tense from the first few pages and continued to the end. It is packed with non-stop action and the author did a great job keeping the suspense. It is clear that Imogen has a traumatic past that affected her deeply. Now an adult and married, she and her husband have moved to the countryside for the quiet and are hoping to have a baby.
But strange and dangerous things begin to happen Almost immediately after moving in to Imogene. Based on her past, will her husband believe her? Is there anyone she can trust?
I loved this book. Its full of twists and turns and it kept me guessing who was behind all the mysterious things happening to Imogen. Just when I thought i had it worked out, I was left shocked with the final twist.
A good creepy ARC book that I received and thoroughly enjoyed from love book tours. This review is my honest opinion.

A bit of a slow burner to begin with however the tension racks up as the story progresses. This was one of these stories where I really didn't like either of the main characters although that doesn't stop you from identifying with them when things go wrong. A dream that turns into a nightmare and with an unexpected ending.
Thanks to Netgalley/Boldwood books for the ARC to review

A quick read that keeps you hooked. An old isolated house with a spooky past and a quirky neighbor…a husband that seems too good to be true…a wife with a difficult past…all excellent.
Unfortunately, there was not enough development of the storyline in the past to make the circumstances believable and it was too much of a stretch the number of people involved.
Thanks to NetGalley & Boldwood Books for the ARC.

A quick read but feels too similar to other books in this genre. Supposedly a psychological thriller, these types of stories follow a well worn path with a woman not being believed by her nearest and dearest while the reader knows she’s right but not why or how. All plot and thin characterisation make these reads a dime a dozen. However, it does keep you turning the pages so good if you want just a light but forgettable read.

Really enjoyed this book. It was creepy. Lots of twists and turns along the way to keep you interested. The plot was well thought out and played out well. The book was well written.

Another great read from this author. Plenty of twists and a great endng.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Very far fetched. I was rooting for our main character to weed out the traitors but it went a little bit too far for me personally.

I enjoyed the beginning of the story. A couple moves into a house in this small isolated town. Strange things start happening to the woman. She doesn’t know if she’s losing her mind or if these things are really occurring. The atmosphere is creepy and tense. However, as the story progresses, things just to get to be ridiculous. The main character started getting on my nerves. She was so worried about everything, and she just kept doubting herself throughout the story. Her husband was horrible and kept gaslighting her. I didn’t like him from the beginning. He just seemed really shady. The book was short, so that was a plus, and it did read rather quickly, but a lot of exciting things didn’t happen until the very end. I thought the ending was crazy and very unbelievable. Overall, this book was not for me.

A fast paced story with lots of twists - one of which I guessed - but that didnt spoil it at all. Highly recommended
Thank you to Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in return for an honest review

When I finish a book in less than a week thats a sign. Great read and loved the writing style. There was so much going on but also so easy to follow and felt like the main character at points (especially towards the end). The ending had its twist which I liked but wish it detailed a bit more of what happened after the fact.
It’s not a who’s done it but more so going through the main characters crazy life. Reminded me a bit of Freida McFadden’s “The Inmate.”
Would definitely recommend adding to your reading list if you’re looking for nice and easy read.
Lastly, thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for sharing the ARC with me!
