The House Guest is another diabolical cat-and-mouse thriller from USA Today bestselling author Hank Phillippi Ryan--but which character is the cat, and which character is the mouse? After every divorce, one spouse gets all the friends. What does the other one get? If they're smart, they get the benefits. Alyssa Macallan is terrified when she's dumped by her wealthy and powerful husband. With a devastating divorce looming, she begins to suspect her toxic and manipulative soon-to-be-ex is scheming to ruin her--leaving her alone and penniless. And when the FBI shows up at her door, Alyssa knows she really needs a friend. And then she gets one. A seductive new friend, one who's running from a dangerous relationship of her own. Alyssa offers Bree Lorrance the safety of her guest house, and the two become confidantes. Then Bree makes a heart-stoppingly tempting offer. Maybe Alyssa and Bree can solve each others' problems. But no one is what they seem. And the fates and fortunes of these two women twist and turn until the shocking truth emerges: You can't always get what you want. But sometimes you get what you deserve.

Is it really a #shelfsweeper if I DNF‘d and offloaded it before it actually got to my shelf?

Tagged book was a giveaway at Malice Domestic. Psychological thrillers are a mixed bag for me, but I figured I‘d give it a try. After three chapters I decided it wasn‘t for me.

My book club had a social gathering on Saturday, and I brought it along with me for someone else to try.

Bookwormjillk I think it counts! 4w
Andrew65 It most definitely counts because it‘s still clearing your backlog of books. Not even heard of this book. 4w

It was just ok to me. It took too long to get to the meat and potatoes of the story, and when it finally did it went in so many different directions that it bordered on impossible, even for a novel. The audiobook was just ok as well. Part of that is due to the material itself–it's such a slow burn–but part of that was due to the narration itself. I just wasn‘t gripped by the story and the audiobook didn‘t help to draw me into the story.

Ryan‘s latest isn‘t my favorite of hers, but it‘s an entertaining & engrossing listen! Alyssa narrates this book that consistently builds tension- she‘s separated from a wealthy and manipulative husband who isn‘t conforming to their agreement, a chance encounter at a bar brings Bree into her life- another woman who seems at the mercy of a controlling man. A surprising plot & plenty of drinks to make everyone seem villainous, it keeps you guessing!
