A relatively quick and easy read that has some twists and suspense but doesn't quite grip in the way others I've read of late.

Mark and Steph have been victims of a home invasion in their home. As a way to try and wash away some of the lingering stress this event has caused, they attempt to vacation in a stranger’s apartment in Paris. But some things can’t be washed away.
Mark is a 47 year old who needs a high five to the face with a chair. Steph is the most reasonable character I’ve come across in some time. Unfortunately their love can’t withstand Mark and his slow mental decline.
I’ll give this a thumbs up and a half. I appreciate the tense creeping towards the end. But wanted to punch Mark in the face

I really enjoyed this book! The story was face paced enough to want to keep on reading and well written. I would recommend this title as it kept me guessing and I wanted to keep reading. K L Slater writes great stories, and this one didn’t disappoint.

The premise of the book left me with the creeps! The relationships in the book were quite odd. It left me wanting for a better outcome!
Freya has lost her husband twice, once to a another woman and again when he died. Now Freya is a single mom with a 5 yr old daughter Skye and they are about to lose their home. Freya is given the opportunity of a life time when her and Skye are invited to move into Addler House for a fraction of what she should be paying. It is a beautiful home in an affluent neighborhood. Hello, warning bells!! In what universe would that happen! Strange things start to happen in the home and it makes her feel like she is going crazy! Just not my cup of tea! I felt that the storylines were cringeworthy and the ending was no better!
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Freya, mother to Skye, has a brief amount of time to find a new place to live that she can afford. She meets an older man in a cafe who offers to let her stay at the Adder House for a small amount of rent. Soon afterwards, Freya starts becoming suspicious of certain events taking place within their apartment at Adder House as well as with the people of the house.

This book has twists and turns with mysteries to be discovered frequently. Freya discovers details of a former occupant of the Adder House who also had a daughter and met an untimely death. With the help of a handyman she is able to discover her daughter has been spied on and it sends chills through her spine.

While I enjoyed the mysteries and twists in the book, it was not what I would call a psych thriller. A mystery, yes, but not a thriller.

Fresh out of a divorce, Freya needs a win. That’s why when she finds out about a very affordable flat in London, she and her daughter move in, without hesitation.

When Freya starts to notice things moving, doors shutting, and starts to feel an eerie presence in the apartment, she soon finds out that this is a more sinister place than she thought.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s somewhat similar to Riley Sager’s “lock every door,” and I loved that book as well. If you like creepy, slow psychological thrillers, this book is for you!

Found the main characters very likeable, so when the strange manipulation they start to encounter you feel their trauma, it definitely gives you chills at times. I did identify the main culprit but wasn’t 100% sure so kept my interest peaked, overall a very interesting subject

When a stranger offers to a room in an amazing apartment building for a fraction of the rental price would you accept? Well that’s exactly what Skyes mum did.
At first I thought this book was going to be a real psychological thriller but it failed to deliver. Never really getting off the ground before the predictable ending. Freya is recently windowed yet we never discover how her husband died which I found odd. An easy read with chapters which keep you turning the pages. Worth a read but not a gripping thriller but a simmering mind games novel.

Predictable in parts and also chilling.

I was surprised by the antagonist in the book.

Its a theme that has been covered in part before but i found very interesting and engaging.

Freya and her daughter, Skye, are struggling financially following the desertion and subsequent death of Freya’s husband and she must sell the family home and look for somewhere to rent. Unexpectedly, Freya is thrown a life line when she is offered an apartment in a fashionable part of London at a peppercorn rent. Although suspicious, Freya feels that she must accept the offer. She was right to be suspicious as events unfold which threaten her sanity and Skye’s wellbeing. This is a chilling tale, engagingly told although, arguably, the denouement struggles to live up to its promise.

Not one of the best books I have read from this author but I did not hate it. The story had some really good moments and some left me guessing but I was left feeling confused and did not really understand the ending.

It's not a book I would read again but still very thankful for being able to read the book in advance and there will be people who will love this book just not me I would give it near four stars if I could

I didn't love this one. I was a little disappointed. I usually love K.L. Slater, but this one just didn't do it for me. Her writing style is fantastic, but this story was just a bit...meh...definitely not my favorite.

What a strange book. Be careful what you wish for - it might come with more than you bargain for. When Freya finds the perfect apartment, at that perfect price, if all seems to good to be true, and it might just be - this is a creepy tale in which a series of incidents make the protagonist question whether in accepting to move into Adder House, she might have put herself and her daughter in jeopardy.

An engaging read, albeit one with a few loose threads.

Thank you to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for the ARC.

Gripping, disturbing, nail biting good! Freya and her daughter Skye move into the supposed perfect apartment.....but things aren’t always as they seem. Devoured within 24 hours and loved it!

K.L Slater is new to my auto-buy authors. I love how wicked this book is and at the same time, lovely and powerful. The creepy atmospheric of this book is definitely what I really love. The ending was pleasing and satisfying. The overall performance ot this book is amazing and I can't wait to read more on K.L's psychological thriller world.

The Apartment by K.L. Slater
Pub Date 04/28/20
Psychological thriller

This is the first book I've read of hers. It was a quick and easy read, kept you on the edge of your seat, just a bit predictable. But I did thoroughly enjoy the book. I will definitely read more of her books.

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is!

Freya and her daughter Skye have to find a new place to live. While Freya is at the local coffee shop looking at the boards to find an apartment to rent. She meets a man who was there tacking up a new rental to the board. They get to talking and he offers to show her the apartment. Things get weird from here, strange these start happening.
I wanted to yell at her to get out....lol
⭐⭐⭐⭐ thank you to the publisher and to #netgalley for the free book.

The ending didn't completely work for me, but was entertaining and kept me guessing. Recommend for fans of lighter psychological thrillers and fans of this author.

When I first read this book's description, I knew that this book would be right up my alley. I love psychological thrillers, and I had not heard of K.L. Slater before. I love to find new authors.

The book centers around a mother, Freya, and her daughter Skye. They have been going through a challenging time, and when Dr. Marsden offers Freya the apartment of her dreams that fits in her budget, Freya believes that this can be the fresh start that both she and her daughter need.

As with all good psychological thrillers, it becomes clear that this is not going to be the fresh start Freya needed. From mysterious sounds, creepy neighbors, and items moved, Freya is unsure whether Adder House is the problem or she is losing her mind.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book until the very end. It was a slow build, and I was continually trying to keep one step ahead only to realize I was a few steps behind. I enjoyed the narrator switch to understand some of the puzzle pieces, but when it finally came to understand the full situation, I felt a bit let down. Do not get me wrong, the ending had a proper wrap-up, but it was such a slow build for, what seemed like an abrupt ending. The story felt finished, rushed but finished, but still left me with some lingering questions and not the right kind.

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I've enjoyed a few of K.L. Slater's previous books, and The Apartment certainly intrigued me, and kept me guessing until the end. I would say ultimately I felt the conclusion was a little confusing for me, and I wasn't completely sure I understood particular motivations but it was enjoyable enough!

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller that kept me guessing the whole time. From the time I started until the end I was immersed into their lives and the story. I couldn’t put it down and plan on reading more of this authors books.
