A family of 3 excitedly moved into a new house but very quickly Clara begins to hear and see things that make her suspect that there is either paranormal things happening or someone is targeting and messing with her family. Things become even more eerie after she discovers the sinister past of the house.

Most of the plot twist were easy to predict but still entertaining. There was one involving one of the characters that did surprise me. I really liked how the author didn’t reveal everyone’s full intentions until the end.

It frustrated me how Clara took so long to check the loft where strange noises were coming from and how easily she forgave that specific person towards the end especially with her knowing everything that person had done. The characters each had their own distinct personalities and traits but I didn’t like any of of them.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will say the plot of this book is totally wild! It is a fun and exhilarating ride with a epic twist that you don't see coming. It had me shaking like a scaredy cat with the creepiness. I love the roles that the characters play to perfection. The plot felt well thought out and I can safely say that it has no flaws in my opinion. I was able to absorb myself in the story and think about nothing but the words on the page and it totally freaked me out in the best possible way. I am really excited for this author who I believe has written a bestseller with The Woman at No.3.

Outstanding book. I read it in almost one day, only had 5 chapters left before I went to sleep and the book stuck with me. I triple checked that everything was locked and every sound had me tensing up. Such a great book to make you feel the emotions in the book.

I did predict the ending somewhat unfortunately, but it didn't take away from the experience of the book and there was still an unexpected twist or two.

Thanks to netgalley for this ARC.

The plot is engaging and seems creepy, but as the story develops, everything seems easy to guess, to me there's been no plot twists as my guesses were right, so the suprises were just a confirmation.

Despite that, it's a good book with characters you love and hate.

Easy quick thriller that I finished in one day. Decent twist at the end but I did predict it somewhat right before. Overall a good book. Thank you to Joffe Books and NetGalley for this ARC.

I loved how this story unfolded, it has a steady flow and the twists just kept coming.

It was almost a shock at how many twists there were and this alone, as a reader, kept me guessing.

It has a well written plot and the ending was a satisfying tying up of the plotline.

This is an amazing read and perfect for a great holiday read.

I really enjoyed this book! The Woman at No. 3 was one of those reads that hooks you early and keeps you turning pages to see what’s really going on. The characters were layered, the twists were clever, and the story kept a steady pace without feeling rushed.

It had just the right amount of suspense without going over the top, and the writing style made it super easy to get into. If you're into domestic thrillers with a little mystery and a lot of secrets, this one should definitely be on your list.

Highly recommend if you're in the mood for something twisty but totally readable.

WHAT THE FLIP.

This was fast-paced, thrilling and hooked me from page one.
I found this very intriguing and the ending tied up neatly.
I still can't believe the twists..

This is my first book by this author and I can't wait for the next. I am hoping there will be another book to continue on from this. When Clara and her husband Mike move into their new house with their little girl they were excited. They had moved from their small place to this huge house.. Maybe they should have asked themselves why the price of this house was so cheap before buying it. They will soon wish they hadn't.
Fantastic book from start to end. I will be looking out for this author now.

What a wild ride! I love a good creepy neighbor thriller and this was perfect. Such a twisty fast paced read.

Lots of twists and misdirection kept me reading long into the night!
I enjoyed this book for the characters, the plot, the writing and the pace. It's fairly rare to find a book where all 4 areas are at least good. I'll definitely be reading more by this author.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for the ARC! I loved this thriller! Clara falling in love with the house of her dreams all for it to become a huge nightmare! I could not stand Josie from the get go she gave me the ick and boy was I sure right about her! I wanted to reach into my kindle and slap Mike silly for not siding or believing Clara about everything especially things with Josie! The ending of this book was wild between Josie and Lily! Im glad Clara surprised Josie with the movie at the end! Satisfied my ick towards her!

I love books about bad neighbours and this was a cracker! I thought I knew how it was going to play out, but boy was I blindsided! It really pulls you in, in a slow burning way. I am thankful my neighbours are nothing like this!

I love a book about bad neighbours, and The Woman at No 3 was perfect for this theme.

When Clara and Mike move into their dream home with their daughter Poppy, they hope it will be the perfect place to raise a family. All seems well until their quiet, and intense, neighbour Josie starts to become too interested in Poppy and Mike. Clara notices strange things happening at home - noises in the loft, items moving around and notes on the doorstep. However when Poppy starts seeing ‘the girl with no face’ Clara has no doubt that this isn’t her imagination and maybe this neighbourhood does have secrets that are being kept from her.

This was the right amount of suspense to keep me wanting more, and enough twists to keep me guessing. Although there was some predictability in the story it doesn’t take away the final turn at the end.

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

Who doesn’t love a creepy neighbor. Mike and Clara find their dream home for a steal. After moving in, strange things start to happen, and they wonder if that’s why they got it for a good price. There’s something about their neighbor Josie that doesn’t sit right with Clara. And her obsession with Clara’s daughter Poppy really freaks her out.

While this was pretty predictable, I still enjoyed it. Fast paced, and definitely a page turner. Even though I mentioned it was predictable, I enjoyed in the beginning trying to piece together what might be happening. I think this would be great for people just getting into thrillers.

A lovely twisty psychological thriller based around the scenario of moving to your dream house…only to find the neighbours are a nightmare!!

Clara and Mike, along with daughter, Poppy soon find that their neighbour, Josie is a little intense. Clara feels Josie is overstepping boundaries, while Mike and Poppy seem to think she is the best thing since sliced bread!

When creepy things start to happen around the house, Clara wonders if Josie is to blame, or if something much darkest as at play!

Really good, gripping plot. Believable characters. A lot to like!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for providing an ARC of The Woman at No.3.
I really didn't care for any of the characters but I could hardly put this one down! Had me hooked from the start!

This book was a quick and easy read and kept me engaged up until the end, or should I say near the end. There were several candidates for the acts that were committed, and I quickly eliminated a couple of them, or at least I thought I did… I will read other books by this author, but when you get to the end, you think it’s all finished and all tied up neatly, but there are more pages to go. To me it was a twist that wasn’t quite twisty and something that I thought had already been figured out. So had the book had less pages at the end. I would’ve given it five stars. Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read copy.

I felt this wasn't a good read for me. I did guess the first twist earlier on and I wasn't a fan of the constant repetition of the writing style. A lot of dragging on as for the plot and in some places the characters were trying way too hard. I have read a similar book which of course then hinders the reading experience I had for this one. Very unlikeable characters, but even with this if done correctly they can make a difference to the quality of the book, If the plot is sailing away, the characters can save it, if you get the drift of what I mean by that.
