K L Slater is a writer I admire, although this book is very well written, great pacing and twists-a-plenty. I found it too far fetched. Characters that have too good to be true opportunities which we know will come back later to haunt them.

I could only compare this book to a more modern Rosemary's Baby, but less tense, and only got more interesting towards the end.

Unfortunately for me, it was an average read, so I have given it an average score. I will look forward to more from this author in future.

This is a great book. Most definitely a page turner. A true original. I will be reading a lot more books by this author.

Really enjoyed this book, read over two nights and stayed up past midnight... always a good sign. Easy reading, with the tension mounting by the page. The back story of the main character neatly woven through the narrative, with not too much detail; just enough to inform. Highly recommend, thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

A different type of book for me, I usually read crime, but this was a refreshing change, a lot of mystery, who are the Marsdens, what are they up too, are they dangerous? I find the story very well written, it keeps you on your toes wondering what’s happening and also what is going to happen.
Definitely worth reading.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview THE APARTMENT BY KL SLATER.

This was by far the creepiest book I’ve read in a while, don’t get me wrong, I loved it. I certainly didn’t see the twists coming. I did struggle with a few parts but overall it was fantastic. It was dark and gritty. This was a true psychological thriller. I can’t wait to read more by K. L. Slater.

I love a fast read thriller and this one didn't disappoint! Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for this book. I really enjoyed it and will be on the look out for more book by K.L Slater.

I feel like this is book that kept me somewhat entertained when i was stuck at home reading it, but it won't stay with me very long. It didn't have a lot of action but was more of a slow build up to a far-fetched climax.

I had a hard time getting into this one but once I did, it certainly picked up the pace. Overall an enjoyable read but not my favorite.

Oops missed the cut off date. Will head straight over to Amazon. Sorry. Very good read indeed. Had me gripped from page 1.

I did feel chills and want to find out how the story panned out, but I felt this book promised more than it delivered. Some parts seemed to be cut short or missing. The creepy house and the Marsdens set a perfect scene for a real terrifying read. But too much was skimmed over, yet a lot of detail on other things - I assumed there was some significance in the attention to Freya always removing her shoes when entering houses. The build up and tension could have been used so much more effectively. Disappointing. #netgalley #theapartment

Even though I did buy myself a physical copy of this book, I would still like to thank Netgalley and the publishers for also providing me with a copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately, I was quite
disappointed with this one. The plot was certainly intriguing and I was very interested to find out what was gonna happen, but for me, it was just too slow. Nothing particularly happened to the very end - and I didn't fully buy it honestly. A read that may be enjoyable for some people, but it wasn't for me.

Oh no, this one was unfortunately not a good one for me. I had a lot of hopes going in to this one. However, I think I may have DNF it if I wasn't reading for a publisher. *yikes, sorry*

The concept was great, however there were a lot of plot holes and a lot of things that seemed so obvious to me, but not to the characters.

When the book finally came to its conclusion, I was mildly intrigued by the ending but it didn't wow me. And I was even a psychology major in college so you would think I would appreciate it more (You'll know when you read it.)

I enjoyed this book, I liked the main character Freya and enjoyed the suspenseful nature. I had a few unanswered questions and I felt like it skipped around a bit but I thought the ending was pretty good. I have seen where some reviewers have said that Freya should have figured things out quicker but I thought the author did a great job writing about how a person might question themselves and their sanity especially when being targeted.

The synopsis of this book sounded pretty great— after the disintegration of her marriage, Freya Miller knows she needs to take charge of her life. While visiting her local coffee shop one morning, she is approached by a stranger, Dr. Marston, who makes her an offer she can’t refuse— a chance to rent an apartment at a price she can afford. But Freya quickly realizes that Adder House holds many secrets. Shortly after moving in, strange things begin to happen, objects are moved, and Freya hears unexplained voices. She begins to wonder whether it was actually a chance encounter that led her to Adder House, or something more sinister.

The Apartment is the perfect example of the saying “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.” The main character, Freya, seemed to go through life with her eyes closed because she ignored all the red flags around her, while at the same time justifying her ignorance. There were many times that I found myself rolling my eyes for her disregard at what should’ve been a glaring sign. She made one senseless choice after another and it bothered me.

The premise of the book sound thrilling and suspenseful. I found a few reviews that compared it to Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door, which I absolutely LOVED! But other than the book synopsis, the similarities stopped there. I kept waiting for something to happen and for the build up of tension to lead somewhere, but the only place it ever led me was to a disappointing and abrupt ending of the chapter. While The Apartment held so much potential, I found it was actually just 266 pages of confusion because I had absolutely no idea where it was going. The ending was perhaps the most disappointing part of all, and I found it to be absurd and totally implausible.

Overall, I simply was not impressed.

Another great thriller from KL Slater. I've read many books by this author and this one also didn't disappoint. If you enjoy reading psychological thrillers, make this one your next read.

2.5 stars rounded up.
If you’re looking for the slow burn thriller, this is it.
A single mother in a financial stress, finds an offer for a luxury apartment which is to good to be true. K.L. Slater pulls you in right from the beginning. While the pace was a bit slower than my typical thrillers, it was still filled with plenty of twist and turns to keep you turning the page.
Overall, it was a solid 2-3 stars and worth the read. Look forward to reading her other books as well.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in the exchange for an honest review!

Newly divorced and widowed mother, Freya, finds a dream apartment for her and her five year old daughter. Plus, the large apartment is discounted making it affordable for a struggling single mother. What could possibly go wrong? Upon moving into the apartment with her daughter, Freya can't fight a nagging feeling that things aren't what they seem. Is she having another mental breakdown or is there something sinister about the house and the residents who live there?

Let me start by saying this is usually the type of thriller that I devour! I finished this book in 4 days flat. I loved the short chapters because I kept thinking, "oh I'll read one more" or "I can read another one", which would usually turn into 30 more pages. The plot line was not something I'd read about before, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time when the author was telling the story from Freya's point of view. I knew that someone in the house was messing with her and her daughter, but I didn't understand why.

Enter the one major disappointment of the story. About 25% of the way through the book, a new character's perspective is introduced. You don't learn how the stories connect until about 90% of the way through the book. Usually I enjoy this type of twist and I'm fascinated that I am unable to make the connection between plots, but the way it was introduced made me angry. I didn't understand why the author waited so long to introduce the second plot line and I honestly dreaded reading this part. Unfortunately the second plot line plays a major role in the overall plot, but I was bored with it and disappointed by the anti-climatic ending once the connection was revealed.

Overall, I would give this book a 3.5 or 4 out of 5 stars because I was invested most of the book.

I've waited several days to write this review because I wasn't sure how I felt about The Apartment. I needed to let it sink in a bit. Now that I've let the book stew in my head for a while, I'm still not exactly sure.

I read The Apartment in less than 2 days, so it was obviously a page turner for me. I wanted to know what was going to happen! I expected the end to be much creepier..The way that people looked at the house and talked about it made me want a supernatural element thrown in.. There is a logical ending to the book, but I wanted more. The ending wasn't a surprise, and I like being surprised or shocked.

The suspense that led to the end of the book kept me tied to my screen. I enjoyed the characters and the setting very much. It's just that ending that I can't quite get past. So, while this is an enjoyable read, it's not going on my favorites list.

I'm rating it 3.5 stars, but rounding up due to the fact that it kept my attention.

The story was okay for me. It was a good plot for the modern day part. The historical part wasn’t interesting to me even though it’s based on something that really happened and tied into the other part of the book in the end. I wasn’t blown away.

I am a big fan of Slater, and always excited for a new book! The Apartment was tense and had me curious from start to finish. I did guess a few twists, but this didn't really take away from the book. Recommended!
