This was my first novel by this author and I enjoyed it very much!
I was completely invested in the characters and was rooting for the main character Freya, who became a single mom due to her husbands affair then untimely death!
I liked how we the reader were given a look at her daily routine and how we came to question some of the shady tenants who shared the estate she rented with her daughter !
I admit that once the story was given the connections from the tenants and Freya I was a little disappointed ! It felt like the ending was rushed and the bow from which it was tied was loose!
Not my favourite ending but still quite an enjoyable ride as I like the world of ghosts !

What can I write about a KL Slater book that hasn't been said already! She's a master at her craft, keeping us readers glued till the very end, right from the word go! One of my favourite authors!

When the comfort of home isn't so comfortable! I couldn't put down this book. The suspense builds as Freya and her daughter move into a new home that seems to good to be true. The ending is a bit abrupt and wraps up too quickly but overall it was a great read. I look forward to reading more from K. L. Slater.

They say if it sounds to good to be true I probably is! This story takes lots of twists and turns almost none are expected

How much would you allow your landlord to be involved,vex in your life. What would you do if you noticed blatant violations of your privacy? How do you protect yourself and your daughter without appearing crazy. Who can you tell?

Another light read by this author. I enjoyed it every much and would recommend it to a friend

I haven't read anything by this author before but I'm now looking to buy more!

I was gripped within the first few pages. This book really is a good psychological thriller that had me holding my breath through each chapter.

I do love a good story based around a home that has something 'strange' about it. This doesn't let you down and has a really good plot twist.

I really enjoyed this story and will read more from this author.

I really enjoyed this psychological thriller! Tons of twists and turns, a few I predicted, but most I did not. I find that the more thrillers you read, you start to be able to figure it all out early on. Much to my surprise I didn’t with this one!

I enjoyed this book, although I felt it was a bit contrived.

When something appears to good to be true - it always is.

And I felt that this was the premise of this book.

I've been desperate - but that doesn't make it the right choice.

I guess the premise of this book held so much promise for me - it just didn't pan out

Huge fan of K L Slater, this book did not disappoint! Kept me gripped throughout and on the edge of my seat

This book was a rollercoaster of ups and downs. It brought emotion and nail biting thriller together in a story that will have you wondering who is the crazy one. I do wish the reveal at the end had come a bit earlier to give more resolution and explanation. Overall it was a good book that I would give 3.75 stars

I found this to be an enjoyable and suspenseful read. The story was fast paced and we encounter twists and turns along the way to further keep the reader involved. Even though the story follows a somewhat predictable path, arriving there is suspenseful in the end. The author manages to keep one's attention focused and stimulated throughout, which is key.

I received an invite to request this book, not knowing anything about this author and I was enormously surprised and not disappointed in the least. K.L. Slater has written several books and I'm always searching out for new authors.

I want to thank Net Galley for this advance copy and this is my honest opinion.

**This book was an ARC given to me in exchange for an honest review**

I had high hopes for "The Apartment," but was ultimately let down. When left in a difficult situation, a magical solution appears in the lap of Freya Miller, thanks to a "chance" encounter with a seemingly innocuous older man--a swanky apartment whose rent adjusts for even the poorest of people? Are those alarm bells I hear or a serious case of tinnitus? Once she and her 5-year-old daughter move in, the alarms only get louder, yet she blissfully ignores them all. It was frustrating and unrealistic. It also felt familiar and reminded me of a similar story called Sliver by Ira Levin (later a movie with the same name).

This book really kept me reading, it reminded me of Riley Sagar's 'Lock Every Door' which I read earlier this year. I found is very moreish and devoured it in a day or two, however, I can help but feel it had quite an abrupt ending, which I was a bit disappointed by. To me it was obvious who the bad guy was going to be, but perhaps thats the similarities. Thanks for letting me read - I still give the book 3 stars because despite the weaker ending it kept me reading and was pacey.

What an thrilling book. I absolutely loved the plot, it was fast paced and just wonderfully executed. One of the best and engaging story that kept hooked up right from the start.

This had me on the edge of my seat and the butterflies in my stomach lol. Nice short chapters, characters were easy to suss out and it had a good flow to it. The whole way through I was feeling nervous for what lay ahead but could never guess what was coming. The ending had me a little scared. Loved it. When Freya needs to find a new home for her and her daughter Skye, the perfect house becomes available but is it too good to be true? Adder House has some secrets and is Freya the next victim

This book could have been so much more if the author didn't take so long to get to the point. Hundreds of pages of building suspense then wrapping up the ending in a quick group of pages was a tad disappointing.

I loved this book. It took me a while to sit down and read it, but when I did, I flew trough it. It's such an amazing book. in my opinion. I was engaged with the characters the entire time. I wanted to know what was going on, and what would happen and why. I should have seen the ending coming in a way, but I think it has a good build up where I kept on guessing what was going on in the book. I loved Skye though. She was my favourite character all around. She is so sweet, and I loved her relationship with Freya. I would recommend this book.

I don't have much to say about this book because it was just so...boring.

I was ready to get swept away by some ridiculous thriller, because sometimes that's exactly the kind of book I need. But from the start, this book was just so boring.

I've read other K.L. Slater books and have enjoyed those, this one can be skipped though!

A big thanks to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for the ARC and wanting my honest opinion!

This one really kept my interest! Definitely didn’t see the ending!
Read this is in a day and a half! Thanks NetGalley!

The Apartment by K. L. Slayer had a promising start and somewhat unique premise, but as the story went on, all that was lost. It felt like I was reading an outline of a novel. There were brief details told about the characters, so you never really felt connected to them. The same was true of the story, there was nothing to tie things together or make you really care about what was happening.

I have never read any other books by K. L. Slater, so I would definitely be willing to try another one in the future as this one really had potential. I would suggest that you pass on this one, as there are too many fantastic books for you to choose!

This was pretty meh for me also, but I did finish it so it’s not like it was completely terrible. It’s a thriller about a recently divorced mom who moves into a new fancy and very exclusive apartment with her daughter where things just seem too good to be true – and they are. It reminded me a little bit of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager (which I also didn’t like). For both I liked the idea but not so much the execution. I guess it also had Rosemary’s Baby vibes but not as creepy and minus all the horror/devil worship stuff.
