This was so dull. Literally barely anything happened for 90% of the book. there just wasn’t enough to show what the author was trying to convey. And then the last 5/10% was just so anticlimactic and boring that it overall was just such a disappointing read. This is my first K. L. Slater and I think I picked wrong. Having seen reviews I’ll pick up another and chalk this down to a bad egg.

This is a creepy with many strange characters. The plot is very clever.
It was very slow paced and I did guess the majority of the twists.

Such a gripping read. Bedtime was delayed quite a bit while I finished it off and this is typical when i read the author's books. I just can;t put them down, The characters pull you in, as does the suspense and tension.

What a ride, absolutely adored this thriller. Definitely kept me on the edge of the seat and worried for main characters. Especially with Skye being so little.

Usually a 2 star book would be a DNF however I did manage to finish The Apartment as it's nicely written and easy to read. Despite this the story just didn't really go anywhere. The 'action' happened in the last 10% of the book and really wasn't that exciting.

The Apartment is a psychological thriller that in part reminds me of Riley Sager’s work, which can be both a good and bad thing (depending on your experiences with Sager’s books).

Without going into spoiler territory, I will tell you what worked for me and what didn’t.

What worked: The characters and writing style. Although there were some questionable moments by the main character, I did enjoy this story and was hooked just enough to keep moving forward. As a first time reader of Slaters work, I did enjoy her style and would likely check out another book of hers in the future.

What didn’t work: The pace was slow at times (I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wanted a “little” more action) and I was a little underwhelmed by the resolution.

If you like books like Lock Every Door, I would recommend taking this one for a spin, you might just like it!

Last but certainly not least, thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Nothing is to good to be true. And if it is, beware of ulterior motives. Freya was offered an apartment in London for a stupid cheap rent. Seemed perfect since she was a single mom and couldn’t afford her current house. The apartment is owned by a doctor. Why not?! Doctors are trustworthy right ? The dr and his wife divulge themselves into Freya’s life and makes it extreme uncomfortable. Things start to happen in this perfect home yet everyone around her thinks she is the one with mental health problems. That house holds secrets that won’t let anyone unravel

This was an okay book. The main character made quite a few choices that were 🤦‍♀️. Having a degree in psychology I knew the plot pretty quickly and it honestly was a book I skipped through the last few chapters as I knew already what was going on.

The Apartment was a middle-of-the-road thriller novel for me. I didn't hate it or love it but I definitely enjoyed my time reading it!

Freya Miller found the perfect apartment after she was about to lose her family home. Her husband cheated on her and then died unexpectedly, so she needed to step up for her five years old daughter. She met Dr. Marsden on a whim, and they offered her an affordable apartment at Adder House. She wasted no time moving in, but she wondered if things were too good to be true when strange things started to happen within the apartment.

The creepy setup with Dr. Marsden drew me in, but I felt the premise was somewhat predictable as the story progressed. There were many loose plot holes, and the ending was not satisfying as I was expecting. I still thought this was an entertaining and quick read.

Thank you to NetGallery and to Amazon Publishing UK for giving me a copy of this book.

I was left wanting more. Maybe the revised version is better, not sure, but this was an open ended book. I'm not that intrigued anymore to find out. Thank you for the opportunity though!

Freya Miller is quite a mess. Right as things seem like they are at their worst, she is approached by a strange man who offers her the opportunity to live in an apartment that seems too good to be true. Things seem a little off from the very beginning, and then it becomes quite clear that things are VERY off and creepy and dangerous. A well paced plot and an enjoyable, quick read.

Did not finish. I had a hard time getting into this one. Some may enjoy but not one for me. The description was intriguing but found myself not wanting to go back and read after I would set it down.

This was a read in one sitting kind of book for me. I loved the creepy vibes and although I guessed what was happening around the half way point I was totally wrong on who was doing it.

I loved that this book showed that desperation can make a person act so differently to how they usually would. Dual timelines are a favourite of mine so this book was just what I needed.

I would definitely read from this author again.

The Apartment tells the story of Freya and her daughter, who move into an apartment without really checking the story of the place before renting it. Things get scary are there are rumors about enhancing security, someone getting killed, and other strange facts that might have happened there. The plot leaves the reader anxiously reading to learn what happens, it's thrilling and suspenseful.

Very twisty and well paced, but I was left wanting at the end. I don't need every book tied up with a neat bow but I think thrillers need a definite end and there were a lot of loose ends with this one.

THE APARTMENT by K.L. Slater started out promising with a premise of a single mom coming across a once in a lifetime perfect opportunity to live in an amazing apartment at an affordable price. Of course we all know that comes at a cost to her, but the book really takes a long time to even give you a hint at what that is. Normally a main character would question odd behaviors and happenings in a new home, especially with a young child, but this one did not seem to be fazed at all. Overall, I finished the book to see how it ended but did not enjoy the twist, there were quite a few plot holes, and I don't think it's one I will be recommending. I will still try another book by the author though because I've heard great things!

A quick, intense and twisty thriller with a twist that I wasn't expecting at all. I was intrigued from the first page and excited to read more.

A deliciously intense and twisty thriller you won't soon forget ! I highly recommend ! Opinions are solely my own ! Thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the opportunity to read and review this book ! #Netgalley

I am a sucker for a good mystery! This book was able to be interesting enough during the rest of the book (some books are sooo slow then they suddenly ramp up during the middle/end) but the twist was not one I was expecting. This is important to me in a story because after reading so many types like this, it’s disappointing when the mystery is so predictable. Love this book!
