⬗ What a peculiar little tale that kept me entranced for all of its 162 minutes. Although, this is yet another horror book with an ambiguous ending🤔🤔🤔
⬗ The narration and translation by Mary Robinette Kowal were fantastic.

This might be my last book for #HauntedShelf. The Night Guest was a really good thriller. I read it in one sitting as it's only 194 pages. The pacing is excellent. It slowly builds up the tension until it has you by the throat. 4.5 stars.

Ok weeeeeeird.. I‘m not even really sure what happened at the end but I was intrigued by the first half. Would have been a higher rating if there was a bit more clarity🍷

TW - lots of dead cats 🐈‍⬛

Super small chapters, some just one line. Finished in under 2 hours.

Thanks to #netgalley for access to this audiobook. I liked the initial concept more than the execution. The chapters - each audibly named - are very short and the naming makes for a disruptive experience

3.75/5

I was excited to listen to this based on its summary, but it was not at all what I was hoping for. There are an insane amount of chapters. There were so many times where I spent more time listening to the number of the chapter than the action within the chapter. I was also rather put off by the ending as well. It has nothing to do with what happened exactly, it just seemed too unrelated to the story in some ways, and was rather abrupt as well.

With the everyday terrors of chronic pain, unhelpful doctors, sleepwalking, and sleazy exes giving way to something far more sinister…This chillingly paced horror will leave you unsettled indeed. I do wish the ending wasn‘t quite so obscure, but I think fans of The Last House on Needless Street will dig this one!

An espresso martini suits this book bc phew. 😮‍💨 What a wild, unsettling little ride this was! I enjoyed this immensely. It was fast-paced, propelling you forward with so much momentum (and dread), purposefully leaving so much up to the reader‘s fearful imagination in such a capable way. Each chapter in this novella ratcheted up the tension — I truly flew this.

My thanks to Tor Publishing for this ARC.
