K.L. Slater's, The Apartment, picks up speed after Freya moves in the apartment with several twists and turns but the reader must suspend any disbelief in the beginning in order to believe the creepy, suspenseful ending.
The book was a fast-read and I am giving it 3.5⭐️
A broody psychological thriller that follows Freya and Sky. A recently single mother, who is left to care for her 5 year old daughter after her husband leaves her and then dies. Living on a low fixed income, she can‘t believe her luck when she gets an offer to move into a home that has converted apartments, and rent is what she can pay. Of course, the weird events creep in in her shortly after they move in. Let the head games begin.
Based around the theme of a famous psychological experiment in 1920, this book is tension-building with creepy aspects. Not perfect and a bit unrealistic in places, but this kept my attention throughout.

This was a super fun psychological thriller! We get to read from the MC's POV as well as the antagonist, so we know more than the MC, which was a fun twist.
My full review will be on my blog on 6/2!

I really wanted to like this book. I mean it had so many things going for it including a colourful eye catching cover (which gets me every time!), an interesting premise and a best selling author. Unfortunately, just like Freya scoring an amazingly posh apartment for pennies was too good to be true, so was this book. Won't be recommending this one, not even for those lazy summer days. ⭐️⭐️ Book 4/20 for May #bookspinbonanza 📚 @TheAromaofBooks
This was a fast read, but not really any “wow” factors. I did like the twist at the end, although I wouldn‘t call it a twist, but more of just answers. Different premise here and kind of cool on that sense for me!
Thanks #NetGalley!
I‘m torn on how to rate this one. I didn‘t love it and I didn‘t dislike it. It was a solid, fast-paced read. There is an apartment that is too good to be true for mom, Freya, and her daughter, Skye. Creepy landlords and weird neighbors add to the discomfort in the perfect Adder House. The more tjme passes the more Freya starts to question her sanity as things just don‘t add up in the new place.
Thanks to #Netgalley for the arc.
Going to try to finish this ARC outside in the sun with my new cup! 🍻 ☀️ 📖
Next NetGalley read!
My reading totals for April. Was a good month and read 16 books, mostly 4* reads. Got lots of review books to read but trying to read my own books as well. #bujo #bulletjournal.
Although the story was interesting, it did not grab and keep my attention. There are nice plot twists throughout the book that does make you attempt to think what is going to happen next. Slater does a good job describing the Adder House and the peculiar tenants that inhabit it.
Thank you to NetGalley, Amazon Publisher UK, and K.L Slater for the chance to read this ARC.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️
I like the psychological aspect with Watson and his experiment. I studied child development and psychology in college so I always found Watson interesting. I did find this book to be slow and boring. The twists were not exciting and the events leading up to the end fell very flat.

So disappointed 😔 I thought this book was going to be good. I just didn't like it, and I am not in the majority most reviews have loved it.
Great morning in my email this morning!!! 🤗
Freya is at a really low point in her life when suddenly she is offered a stunning apartment. Can her luck really be changing can she dare to dream of a better future for her. A Really good read I could really get a feel of the emotion that Freya was feeling when things started to happen. The book takes a time to build and to get the reader engaged with the happens at adder house but comes together very quickly at the end
What a creepy read this was. I read it in virtually one sitting as the story just hooked me in. This is quite short but it doesnt feel rushed. Its fast paced which fits with the story and doesnt leave me wanting the story to speed up. The plot is clever with some brilliant twists. I had figured out who was behind it before Freya did but I loved the explanation and all the connections. A dark and creepy but brilliant read. #Netgalley 5*
