Struggling a little with this review, I like KL Slater a lot and have a lot of respect for their writing, but I'm not sure this one was for me.

The focus on the paranoia of the main protagonist made me a little uncomfortable, it all seemed to come from the trauma of her mother leaving her when she was 13 and seemed to take very little responsibility for any of her 'resulting' actions.

I will say that Slater is still second to none on being able to create an ominous and foreboding tone through seemingly innocuous events.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5 stars rounded up to 4!!

Thanks so much to Netgalley.co.uk and the author K.L Slater for the opportunity to read this book in advance of its publication date in exchange for an honest review.

I loved all of K.L Slaters previous books so I was delighted to get approved this one and started it straight away.

I always really enjoy this authors books, I love her writing style and how gripping the plot always is. Her books are fast paced with short easy to read chapters and the story always pulls me in from the get go. This one was no different and I really enjoyed it.

A perfect holiday read.

Slater's defo one of my must read authors and I need to drop everything to get stuck into her books as soon as they're released. I am never left disappointed.

While I didnt think this latest one was her best, there is no denying Slater sure can write a thriller book well. I was hooked from the first page and just couldnt put it down. It was full of twists and turns and difficult to predict what was going to happen which is my favourite type of read.

I read this one in one sitting as I just couldnt put it down until I found out the ending.

What a great twist at the End too!!!!

K.L Slater has such a talent and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the first K L Slater book I’ve actually read in print as all the others to date have been listened to on audio.

I found this a bit of a slow burner to begin with but once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down!

The story runs along two timelines… present day and 18 years earlier and both are equally good stories that eventually tie in together.

I particularly liked Lottie, the main character who was beyond flawed but really likeable. I often found myself questioning whether she was a reliable narrator and I’m not sure whether that was the authors intension or just my over active imagination!

This psychological thriller was gripping, full of suspense and had twists I just didn’t see coming!!

I really enjoy K L Slater’s style of writing and have a few more on my list left to read, which I can’t wait! She is now a guarantee on my TBR pile with every new release.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC!!!
This book was so fun to read! It had me on the edge of my seat, I cant wait to read more from this author ☺️

I whixxed through this book, switching my feelings of villains and heroes on almost every page. As the author switched voices and time spans I kept reading, hoping to see more through the bedroom window. Have a great read and see if you can figure everything out. I'm still working on it.

I’ve read other books by KL Slater that I really enjoyed so this was an automatic request from me. This one was a bit slow for me, sad to say. I did like the creepy vibes it was sending and I wanted to know the mystery around the family.
Thank you to KL Slater, Bookouture, and Netgalley for this ARC.

Out of all of this authors books, of which I have read them all this was my least favourite. The beginning and middle just seemed drawn out, yes it got better in the last 25% but normally I get through them so quickly and I have to drag myself away. It seemed almost stilted in places and usually I read the whole book thinking "oh my god how does this author do it every time" yet this one felt like I was reading a book that was written by someone else.

Readable but not fab in my opinion

A pacy thriller that will keep you guessing. Easy to devour in one sitting with a satisfying ending.
4 stars

The Bedroom Window by KL Slater. Pub Date: May 19, 2023. Rating: 2 stars. I've enjoyed KL Slater books in the past, so I was surprised when I found myself bored and not interested in this story as I was reading. The premise is mysterious with a family moving away due to the father getting a job to help support. But where they move to has a lot of secrets and creepy vibes. What happened to the family that lived there before them and why are the neighbors/owners so mysterious? This story dragged on for me. Hopefully others enjoyed it more than I did. Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review. #netgalley #thebedroomwindow

*4.5 Stars*

Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a great mystery as to what happened to Claire & Kay. You had to feel for Lottie what she went through over the years. Great characters and a good ending for this one. Recommend.

Amazing book as always by KL Slater!! KL Slater is the queen of psychological thrillers. This book kept me turning the pages and it was at truly unputdownable book. There is so many lies, shocks, twists and turns throughout this book, and I loved the twists and turns this book took. Would love to see this book made into a movie one day, it definitely would be successful!

Oh wow, I loved this book. So twisty and sometimes dark. The story just unfolds and grabs you. I couldn't wait to get to the end to find out what happens. It would make a good film. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I just love K.L. Slater's writing! This was another amazing book from her and I highly recommend it.
Thanks to NetGalley, the editor and the author for the opportunity to access this ARC.

What a finish! I found this one to start a little slow and it was definitely a longer read for me with a slower burn…. However about halfway through this picks up and rages like a wildfire. The story twists and turns and causes your jaw to drop. It culminates in some serious heart stopping “what just happened” moments.
I loved the characters and couldn’t wait to see how it would play out.
A great read!

2.5 stars - this storyline had potential but ultimately did not deliver for me.

neil and lottie move with their son albie, when neil gets a new job as head landscaper for ted and neeta. they have a small cottage on the property, but after they arrive, lottie starts noticing some strange things that leave her suspicious. why aren’t they allowed in the main house? why does neeta have a children’s toy when they said they don’t have children? what was that shadow she saw moving, when she can see neeta and ted in another room?

I feel like all the characters were annoying and unlikeable. i felt like each chapter was the same thing all over again and that nothing really happened.

thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Wow wtf did I just read! This book was twisty, suspenseful and creepy. It was a slow burn for sure but once you hit the second half you won't be able to put it down! KL Slater always blows my mind!

Well! That was not what I was expecting! Honestly, this one started off a little slow for me. Didn’t start picking up until almost halfway though but I’m glad I finished! I did not see the ending coming!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my review!

A book I had difficulty putting down, some many different scenarios, who were these people what where they
hiding, and why was I the only one who could see.so much from the bedroom window..

Lottie and her family move to a small cottage. Lottie thinks that the people in the mansion are strange. She discovers that looking out the bedroom window she can see into their home.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC and to the publisher Bookouture.

4 stars - It was short, but it packed a punch with a bit of a unique plot twist that I'm not sure I've seen before (or at least often). This story proves that old saying - just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that people aren't out to get you. That's a saying right? If not, it certainly should be! The pace was fast, the twists were plentiful, the characters were unlikeable, and it's one of those books where everyone is a possible suspect. If you choose to pick this one up, I think you will enjoy it.
