An entertaining read. Definitely a page turner - I love psychological thrillers. Like others have said I don‘t really know what happened at the end, but a pick nonetheless.

I debated between giving this book a pick or a so-so. It is an extremely quick read and I did enjoy the end and how it brought everything together. I also enjoyed the setting of a wintry, 19th century Iceland. I was a bit confused by all the characters but the end wrapped it up nicely and the pieces all fall into place. I'm glad I read this book but just feel a little underwhelmed by it. Probably won't stick with me, but it was worth the read.

I forgot to review this. I listened to the audiobook mostly, but needed the physical book to read the ending to find out what I missed/misunderstood listening. But guess what? I still have no clue what actually happened at the end. I don‘t need a neat and tidy ending but I also don‘t love it when I feel like I‘ve missed something. This seems to be purposeful. Still, I enjoyed this propulsive and quick read. I was anxious throughout!

AudiobookingWithLeah Yeah, I think I relistened to the end twice. It was definitely disappointing. 1mo

Hmm. So I liked this and I was really invested but after that very unresolved ending, I have SO MANY questions 😂😅🫣 @BarbaraBB I bought this one based on your review so, I‘ve made a new hashtag: #blameitonbarbara 😀😂

julesG Nice # 2mo
CBee @julesG thanks! 😂 2mo
BarbaraBB Lol, that‘s a first, being a # 🤣🤣. But I know what you mean, that‘s ending was so frustrating! 2mo

julesG @BarbaraBB Frustrating yes, but also good. Sometimes an open ending is better than everything wrapped up nicely with a bow. 😉 2mo
BarbaraBB @julesG Yes! That‘s why I loved it too. It left me with all the feelings! 1mo
CBee @BarbaraBB I can think of other times that hashtag would‘ve come in handy! Many books I‘ve read thanks to you 😊 1mo
CBee @julesG the more I think about it, the more I‘m okay with it. At first I was all how dare she end it like that 😂😂 1mo

I finished this one last week but hadn‘t reviewed it yet. I got it from the library based on the cover & description & made it a January #Roll100 pick (# 62 Any Library Book). (I also saw @BarbaraBB really liked it-always a plus!) So yeah, this book is both very dark & very good. Creepy, set at night & in Iceland where a young woman is exhausted & finds out she‘s sleepwalking to the tune of 40,000 steps on her smart ⬇️

DebinHawaii … watch. 😱🫣 A quick read & be warned there are some triggers. I don‘t want to mention them because I think the discovery of them with the MC add to the creepy horror vibe, but you‘ll see them if you look at Goodreads reviews. The ending is ambiguous which isn‘t always my favorite but I think it works in this one.

Casey and I agree THE NIGHT GUEST is some damned good creepy shit. I started it before bed last night (which, yeah, was a CHOICE), read until I was too tired to carry on, and finished it over breakfast this morning.

BarbaraBB I loved that book and love your 🐶 3mo
