This heart-pounding thriller will grip you from the first sentence and won't let you go until the last. Settle in and get comfy, because it's the very definition of unputdownable
Gripping and unpredictable, Room for Rent by Noelle Ihli had me peering between my fingers as I read. Anyone who has had a problematic roommate will immediately relate to this darkly disturbing, compulsively readable page-turner. An immersive, spine-tingling, deeply visceral experience. I recommend reading it with the lights blazing
Ihli’s voice is magical and absorbing. I was immediately drawn into this story that quickly became something of every woman’s nightmares. With characters you’ll relate to, empathize with, and root for, it’s easy to get lost in this atmospheric and utterly claustrophobic story
This book is the definition of ‘sleep with one eye open.’ It got under my skin - sometimes quite literally made me feel like my skin was crawling. Tense, suspenseful, and oh so creepy, you won’t fall asleep quite so easily after reading this one!
