K.L Slater does it again! I've been a huge fan of hers every since I read "All the Pretty Girls" and this book was no different.
Freya and her 5 year old have been through a lot lately. She's a single mom who will be losing her home.
Suddenly, Dr. Marsden takes an interest in her and offers her an apartment for a too good to be true low rent.
Dr. Marsden seems to good to be true and of course once she is in the apartment, she begins to suspect things aren't what they seem.

Slater has a knack for great thrillers. This is one that keeps you guessing and actually does have an amazing surprise ending!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc for my free and honest review.

This was a quick and enjoyable read. I enjoyed the suspense and the ending nicely wrapped everything up.

I always enjoy KL Slater books, easy reading, good storyline, lots of twists or 'hooks' as you read. I would say this book is no different. perhaps even more intriguing as the themes were in line with my job as a psychologist. Overall, get reading

I feel like this book had a lot of potential. It was t the creepy, suspenseful, story I had hoped for. While there were moments that I felt like could have built up to more, there weren’t a lot and they never got more intense.
Also, if an offer is too good to be true for an amazing apartment, guys, it is. Don’t fall for it. Half the time it’s haunted, the other half there are crazy people involved. Just saying.
The tie in with the whole Little Albert part I thought could have been done without also. While it did tie it together, it wasn’t particularly necessary to the main story as it could’ve been just a basic experiment. Overall, I’d say 3/5 stars from me.

Everything to love about K.L. Slater can be found right here in this book. It’s teaming with exemplary writing, an engaging storyline, and all the creepy twists and turns you can handle. Her characters are dynamic and hold this depth that makes the reader want to know more. A perfect read for bookclubs everywhere! 5 stars!

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC of #TheApartment, which was read and reviewed voluntarily.

This reminds me so much of another book I read recently (Lock Every Door by Riley Sager)...it was difficult to keep the stories separated.

Keep me wondering what twist would happen and how much strange would continue. Good story but didn't grip at any point.

Single mother Freya Miller is struggling after the betrayal & then death of her husband. Adrift with no money & no job she thanks her lucky stars when she meets Dr. Marsden at a coffee shop. He offers her an affordable apartment in the gorgeous Adder House. It seems to good to be true but she has no options. Soon Freya feels as though she’s being watched, objects are moved & she’s hearing strange sounds. Can she figure this out & escape with her daughter Skye in time?

I liked this book, it’s a really taut novel about paranoia & when do you start listening to your gut instinct? Freya has little options so you can understand why she moves into Adder House so quickly & why it’s hard to just up & leave when she starts noticing odd things. The ending is good, creepy for sure. However I felt there were a couple plot lines that didn’t go anywhere, it seemed like they were going to be more important. I would have liked more explanations on those ones & perhaps the ending was a tad rushed for me. But overall it’s a fast, short thriller that’s definitely worth your time.

Freya is at her lowest point, she has recently lost her husband and is now about to lose her home. She is worried where she and her young daughter Skye will live when she happens to meet a man putting out flyers for an apartment for rent. They start talking and he convinces Freya to come and look at his apartment as he believes that they will be a perfect fit.
When Freya sees the building she loves it, but worries that it is way beyond what she can afford. Dr. Marsden the landlord assures her that he will make the rent affordable. Freya and Skye move in and just as they are settling in, some very disturbing things start happening. Is the Adder House apartment all that it appears to be or are there some terrible hidden secrets behind its beautiful facade.
This mystery thriller is a great read and one that pulls you right into the story and its characters.
Thank you to Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book! Read it all in one day .
A real page turner .
The plot twist is unexpected . This is the first book I’ve read by KL Slater. I will be on the look out now for her other books .

This book was a fairly easy read and difficult to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed the big ‘finale’ but felt some of the characters could have been developed more and that there could have been more hints along the way. There’s a lot that was left fairly unresolved however those things are forgotten due to the dramatic ending.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book ahead of it’s publishing date in exchange for an honest review.

Newly widowed Freya and her five year old daughter Skye move into an apartment in Adder House. It seems too good to be true- a gorgeous building where the rent depends on what you can afford. She doesn’t know it, but Freya was chosen to live there. Soon, things start to happen. Somebody is messing with their lives. Freya is unsure if she is going crazy or if they are all in her head. Did she bring her daughter Skye into danger?

While this was an intriguing read, it was VERY similar to Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door. I think there was a lot of build up to a very quick resolution. I liked the idea of everything as it came to be- it was very believable. I still have questions after finishing it- some pieces felt unresolved.

I read a lot of books of this genre, and this one was in the middle of the pack for me. Not horrible, but nothing to really stand out, either. Some parts were quite improbable, and even though it's fiction, it was a bit hard to swallow. The pace wasn't consistent, so I had a hard time staying engaged at times. The ending left a few things still unanswered. I saw similarities with "Lock Every Door" by Riley Sager, but this author's book paled in comparison to Sager's.

I've never read this author, but I've heard good things. I will consider checking out future books.

The bond between mother and daughter is well defined in this story. The story kicks off softly with a single mom Freya, searching for an apartment. As soon as Freya moves in her new apartment, she notices creepy things around her. Some parts of the story cover extracts of old diary pages. I felt that those extracts didn’t really gel with the main storyline. The language is simple and easy to understand. Overall a entertaining story.
Thank you NetGalley, KL Slater and Amazon Publishing for reader’s copy of this novel. The review is based on my opinion of the book and was not influenced in any way.

Freya is a young, single mother whose husband died recently after leaving her for another woman. To make ends meet she has to sell their family home in London and find a small flat to rent. When an elderly man approaches her in a cafe and offers her an apartment in one of the best parts of London for peppercorn rent she is rightly suspicious but decides to take it. As soon as she moves in, things get very creepy, not least the other residents that she meets. But instead of grabbing her young daughter and running for the hills, she decides to stick it out, even though she is stressed and unhappy and her daughter is having nightmares.

This was quite an entertaining read but overall just felt a bit too contrived for me. I felt the basic premise was stretched pretty thin to fit everything that happened. The relationships between the other residents such that these events could occur unhindered were never clearly explained. Extracts from a 1920s diary and the voice of a person watching Freya and Skye just didn't feel authentic, especially once the identity of the person was revealed. Overall the plot felt very patchy and rushed and not up to K. L. Slater's usual standard.

I really enjoyed this novel. There were definitely some twists and turns throughout. I had some ideas about what would happen but they didn't. I would have liked to have discovered why Lewis died and if this was related to the dr. Certain points were so creepy and sinister. I really liked it. I wasn't expecting Lizzie to be the villian.

I am a huge fan of this author, however I was slightly disappointed with this one. The premise of the story was just too improbable and I couldn't really connect with the plot at all. Also some of the writing was a bit too flowery and read almost like a mills and boon at times. I am so sorry not to be more positive about the book, I will certainly read more from this author, I just felt this one was not up to her usual excellent standard.

I’m a big fan of this author so it was a delight to receive an advanced copy of this book. It definitely hasn’t disappointed and I haven’t been able to put this one down.

If it appears to be too good to be true - it's not.

Freya Miller is scrambling at the beginning of the book. Her husband, who left her for another woman passed away. Freya has sold her home and paid off their combined debt. Now she must find a place for her and her five-year-old daughter, Skye to live. As luck would have it, she is approached by a man, Dr. Marsden in a coffee shop who just happens to have a small apartment for rent. Even better, rent is based on the individual's ability to pay.

Soon Freya and Skye have moved into Adder house and are welcomed by the other residents. But soon, things begin to feel strange. Freya begins to feel as if someone has been in her home, things have been moved, and her landlords make her uneasy.

Although I enjoyed the book, the ending was less than satisfying for me. Plus, this book had me wanting to know more about how Freya's husband died, etc. There were some things that were not resolved- for me that was one of them.

Freya and her daughter Skye are both likable characters and I felt for their plight. There is a rising amount of tension in the book as things begin to become creepier and more sinister. For me, this was a fast, absorbing read until I got to the end. Then I felt a letdown. Something was just missing in this for me.

Thank you to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

This mystery was primarily fueled by the creepiness of Adder House. I found Freya to be annoying and naive, but I couldn't help but want things to be okay for her young daughter Skye.

Though the story was interesting enough to keep me reading, there were so many loose ends floating around that I got distracted. The loose ends were probably meant to be herrings but it turned out more like a muddled mess. It was a 2.5 story rounded up to 3.

The book is justly named as the Apartment seems to be a prominent character in this novel. Strange things start to happen when Freya and her 5 year old daughter move into the apartment. The ending kind of fell flat for me though but I enjoyed the journey.
