So I will be honest here and say that I thought this book was a different one with the same name. So I have now read both and I gotta say these are two different stories and I loved yours. I love your writing. I am deff getting this to go on my shelf when it comes out in April. Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Wow, what an amazing read. I have never read from this author but this wont be my last. Such addicting writing that kept you guessing. Amazing!!!

Wow, this book really surprised me! I’m not exactly sure why but this book really draw me in and captured my full attention, which had the pages turning so fast. This was such a suspenseful drama/thriller, I highly recommend this book! The dramatic build was great and I felt that the author did an amazing job at adding just enough detail that made everything come to life. This was such an ADDICTIVE read!

I read and listened to the book. I enjoyed both options but preferred just reading it.

***** Many thanks to Poisoned Pen Press, Dreamscape Media, Carter Wilson, and NetGalley for the gifted copy as it was provided to me in turn for my honest opinion.

In the story, The New Neighbor, by Carte Wilson we meet Aiden Marlowe who is slowly losing himself after the death of his wife and winning millions of dollars in the lottery at the same time. It is an intense tale of grief and grieving, learning to live with grief and learning to forgive yourself. A fairly quick read but action packed and intense.

This book was good for what it was. I wasn't as thrilled as I wanted to be but still a solid read. I will pick up more from this author for sure.

Unable to finish this one as I could not get into the story. DNFed @ 100 pages. I could not connect with the story and was having a hard time keeping track of what was going on as it felt bogged down.

This is an absorbing book, part psychological thriller, part study of human healing and redemption. The main character, a widower and a lottery winner, moves to a house with secrets. He, too has secrets and is an unreliable narrator. Who is out to hurt him and his family. What happened to the people who lived there before and disappeared, what happened in his past that still haunts him. well written and worth the read

This one was a fast read with short chapters that had cliffhanger endings that make you say just one more chapter several times. I enjoyed the premise of the book but I didn't much enjoy the ending i feeling there are so many unanswered questions

Carter Wilson has written a fast-paced, tense, psychological thriller that I absolutely didn't want to put down! If I could have read it straight through, I would have.

A young Irishman learns he has hit the Powerball lottery on the day his is burying his wife. With seven-year-old twins, Bo and Maggie, to raise alone, he decides to start over in the small but beautiful town of Bury, New Hampshire. The house he buys has a history to it. He loves the "feel" of the house; his children are not as enthralled. On Day 3 in the house, Aiden discovers a threatening note which clearly indicates whoever wrote it knows a lot about him. It is signed "WE WHO WATCH".

And we're off and running!!

I don't want to write one thing that could spoil your enjoyment of this addictive read. Prepare to read it on the edge of your seat with your heart in your mouth. Yes, it's that good!

My thanks to the author and Poisoned Pen Press who permitted me access to an e-ARC via Netgalley. The book is scheduled for publication on 4/12/22. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and are freely given.

This was a good psychological thriller. I liked that the main character was a male. I feel like a lot of psychological and domestic thrillers lately have female leads (or maybe it's that I tend to pick those up) but either way, it was really nice to have a dad with his kids as the center of the story. I enjoyed the creepy town and the spooky house atmosphere. The plot was interesting but dragged a bit at times. I didn't love the MC, and as I got farther into the book, I understood why, but it did stop me from thinking this was a 5-star story.

Overall, this is a solid thriller, and readers are going to enjoy it!

This book was just not a great one for me. I believe partly due to the narrator being unable to catch and keep my attention. The story was fine, but overall I was unimpressed and did not want to finish. I did end up finishing to see if more happened, but it was very predictable.

This book started off good but unfortunately for me it was more of a supernatural kind of read. I never read any books like that.. it would have been a great read if not for that reason. The story itself was enjoyable. I’ll continue to keep my eye out for more books by this author in the future.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a honest review.

Aidan Marlowe's current life:
- Lost his wife due to an aneurysm
- Found out he won the lottery at her funeral
- Moved to a new house in a new neighborhood
- Received creepy, threatening letter telling him to never leave said new house

Carter Wilson wrote quite the detailed psychological suspense novel. Aidan's past is shocking, his present is filled with booze, and his future is uncertain. I enjoyed the building suspense and increasing unreliability of the details we are given as readers. I honestly couldn't guess all the twists, and let's be honest, thrillers where we can't guess everything are the best! Gary Bennett was a fantastic narrator, and I greatly enjoyed the audio copy of this book.

Thanks to Dreamscape Media for the gifted copy of this ALC and to Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy.

This was suspenseful and freighting read. It left me on the edge of my seat.

This book definitely had potential. I was super intrigued by the plot and how it basically threw you right in the middle of the story. Immediately I already felt horrible for him and the loss of his wife. The grief felt so real.

But the pacing was a bit off. The beginning was great, the middle was slow, the ending dragged. I still really enjoyed the storytelling and the way Carter wrote the story.

I think the ending could have been shortened. I kept waiting like… okay when is it going to end? What more is there to go over? It felt like a horror movie when the killer just wouldn’t die. Even though that wasn’t the case, it just felt like he needed to wrap it up.

However, it was a quick read even if the pacing was not the best. I think others will enjoy this one a lot.

The New Neighbor missed the mark for me. It felt long, and unnecessarily drawn out, the plot moved slow with details that weighed the story down rather than add to it. I found myself skimming more than reading and as much as the ending wrapped things up it just didn't do enough for me to enjoy the book as a whole any more. I enjoyed the previous book I read by Carter Wilson, but this one was a miss for me.

I’d never read anything by Carter Wilson until now, but I will be in the future as The New Neighbor was an engrossing book that I just couldn’t stop reading.

Aidan Marlowe has played the same Powerball numbers all his life, but on the day he’s burying his young wife, he finds out that he’s won 30 million dollars in the lottery. He feels as if he needs to move to New England to a house which, as it turns out, and unbeknownst to him, was the site of an unsolved mysterious disappearance of four people. From that point, the creepiness begins, and the book just gets more and more intense. Masterfully plotted, great well drawn characters, and a suspenseful ending that kept me riveted to the book. Bravo!

My thanks to Poisoned Pen Press and Netgalley for an ARC of The New Neighbor in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC of Carter Wilsons The New Neighbour in exchange for my honest review.
I found this an intriguing storyline, Aidan Marlowe finds out he has won the lottery on the day he buries his wife, wanting a new start Aidan and his 7 year old twins move across country to a new house, a house where the previous year a family disappeared from leaving no trace as to their whereabouts…. Then the letters start..
This is a fast paced book with a few unexpected moments, I thought I had it all figured out but boy was I wrong. With short chapters I quickly devoured this book. This was a new author to me and I will defiantly be checking out Carter Wilsons other books.

3.5 stars

Aiden Marlowe is a man who lost his wife suddenly and he is left to raise his two young children all by himself. Coincidently, on the day he was burying his wife, he wins the lottery. An incredible huge win so he decides to make a new start in life by buying a mansion in a town far away from where he has lived so far.

As soon as he moves in this new place strange things start to happen, some letters are being delivered that are not pretty nor funny.

From here onwards, Carter Wilson does a great job portraying the downward spiral on which Aiden is fast sliding. He is consumed by darker and darker thoughts, as time goes by. There are things that are revealed along the way, explaining why Aiden can't seem to find his way out of the foggy situation. His struggle is very well written and his pain is quite real for the reader. Wilson really takes the reader into Aiden's mind and makes one see through his eyes.

Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this great book!

This book was just sos-so for me. I liked the setting, a rambling old house in a small town in New Hampshire. I liked that the protagonist was a single father to twins after losing his wife to illness. There was a weird, supernatural element that did not appeal to me and I didn’t love the resolution.
