The Estate

A thriller with plenty of twists and turns that is set in a remote, dark estate in Ireland which is a refreshing change from reading a novel set in the busy streets of London or New York. I chose this book based on the cover and without knowing what it was about. I know we shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover" but "The Estate's" cover definitely drew me in and I was curious to read this book. 
   I was very pleasantly surprised at how this story gripped me from the beginning and how I needed to keep reading to find out what was going to happen with Beth, the main character. I could imagine the cold, creepy, Irish estate in my head as I followed Beth's story and felt myself wanting to scream at her during certain parts of the book.  
   There are several creepy and mysterious characters in this book which keep your mind guessing and wondering what will happen next. 
   After finishing this book, I found I had a few questions that I would have loved answered. However, overall this book was an excellent read and I would definitely recommend it. 
   Liza has a fantastic style of writing and I look forward to reading her future books. 
   Thank you to Liza Costello, Hachette Books Ireland and Net Galley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

A young woman who appears to have a problem with alcohol falls for a total stranger while out drinking with friends one night. Already a pariah because of her drinking, she moves in with the man, who soon proves to be controlling, selfish and potentially violent. When he tells her of a chance to live rent free on an estate still in the process of being built. The house is gorgeous, if remote and there are few neighbors. She must live in the house alone for a few months while he finishes up some business, but he visits sporadically, growing ever more sullen and dangerous. While the main character is easy to dislike because of her problems with alcohol, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her as she falls under the spell of a true sociopath. A knuckle biting novel

A very twisty thrilled. 

A very bleak and dark tone to it. Liza Costello writes the descent under a evi person's spell very well, nailbitingly good

Amazing thriller that all readers will love. I highly recommend this book it’s extremely fast paced but well written.  The reader will immediately connect to characters.

The Estate is crazy good! Gripping, dark and left me on the edge of my seat.

I enjoyed the Irish setting, the dark creepy scenes  make this story. Wasn’t a fan of Beth but this didn’t take away from the story.

A must read!

A dark and uncomfortable thriller, Set on an Irish Ghost estate, the unfinished nature of the estate and the economic background adds to the book's oppressive feel and the undercurrent of fear running throughout the various characters' stories. There is an added complexity of a flawed, unreliable narrator, swimming along the boundaries of alcoholism which makes the story and other characters engrossing for the reader. Highly readable, I finished this in an afternoon, the pacing kept me hooked.

This was a great book, thoroughly enjoyed it from the first page and could not put it down, highly recommend it x

I am a huge lover for a good thriller that keeps me guessing as I read along, this was one of those books. The atmosphere of the book was dark and eerie. 

The character development throughout the book was great, it was a nice change reading about an estate in Ireland rather than your typical estate in the US or England or Scotland. I liked the change. 

I feel the right from the beginning, it was a very creepy book which never gave any clues away, it kept me guessing right to the end. I kind of found myself not wanting it to end. 

Thank you Liza and Netgalley for allowing me this ARC, I am truly thankful for the opportunity in exchange for an open and honest review.
