Synopsis -
A perfect summer. A perfect stranger. A perfect nightmare.
When British twenty-somethings Ruth and Adam are offered the chance to spend the summer housesitting in New York, they can’t say no. Young, in love and on the cusp of professional success, they feel as if luck is finally on their side.
So the moment that Eden turns up on the doorstep, drenched from a summer storm, it seems only right to share a bit of that good fortune. Beautiful and charismatic, Eden claims to be a friend of the homeowners, who told her she could stay whenever she was in New York.
They know you’re not supposed to talk to strangers—let alone invite them into your home—but after all, Eden’s only a stranger until they get to know her.
As suspicions creep in that Eden may not be who she claims to be, they begin to wonder if they’ve made a terrible mistake…
The House Guest is the chilling new psychological thriller from the three million copy bestselling author of Here to Stay and Follow You Home.
Review -
The title, the cover and the blurb themselves are spooky, intriguing and mysterious. The House Guest is a chilling psychological thriller. The story is about a British couple, Adam and Ruth, who take up the job of house sitting a wealthy couple, Jack and Mona in New York City for the summer. A few days before Jack and Mona return, a stranger shows up at their doorstep, fully drenched in the rainstorm outside, claiming to be a friend of Jack and Mona. Adam and Ruth let her stay on believing her words. Everything goes normal until one night, all three of them get really drunk. When Adam wakes up the next day, he realizes that Ruth and Eden (the stranger) are nowhere to be found. The story turns even spookier when Jack and Mona return and reveal that they have no idea who Eden is.
It is a fast-paced novel with thrill, twists and turns here and there. The ending was perfect for a psychological thriller like this. The only con of this book is that I found some parts to be comical and unrealistic.
I thank NetGalley and Amazon UK for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
