I’ve read a few books by this author and I’ve never once been disappointed. This was no exception. This is a well written novel that has heightened suspense and where the characters have depth. It builds slowly with twists and turns. Job well done.

Wow! This was a twisty, cleverly written mystery that kept me guessing until the very end. I had so many theories when I was reading this but I was way off and the reveals towards the end really shocked me. I usually guess twists in books but I didn’t guess the twists in this story, so that really impressed me.

I loved the writing style and all of the characters were really interesting and it was clever how their stories all fit together. It was hard to work out who was good and who was bad and it really was twist after twist. This was my second book by this author and I’m really impressed! I can’t wait to read more by this author in this future.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Bookouture for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading this book. I had my own theories as I was reading through and some things I was correct on but there were still some twists that surprised me! A solid 4 stars even for me. Give it a try!

I love K L Slater books and have not come across a bad one yet.
I am always drawn in by the covers on her books.
This book blew my mind, i literally did not see it coming at all.
I was literally sitting there on the edge of my seat with my mouth open, haha!
I thought i had it figured but i was very very wrong.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a title which has lies, deceit and suspense.
I couldn't recommend this title enough!
5/5 stars

Yesss! Another page turner from K L slater. I was drawn in as soon as the family arrived at the cottage and just had to know what secrets the couple at the main house were hiding! Unsure who to trust throughout and feeling unsettled, I really enjoyed this

Another great read from K.L Slater! If you love a good psychological thriller then I would recommend giving this one a go. It keeps you guessing throughout and adds in plenty of twists and turns along the way! The further into the book the more I couldn't put it down!

Loved this book, But I have read books by this author before and enjoyed them. I loved the ending too, i thought it was suitable and liked the ending. The characters flowed with the story, I was not sure about the main character and at times i felt she needed a good shake. and I was not over keen on the husband, Very enjoyable

Oh my God. I got the chills so many times toward the end of this book. It completely blew my mind. It managed to surpass my high expectations AND be nothing at all like I expected

I’m surprisingly disappointed with this story. I normally really enjoy this author.

There were the usual good twists and the unlikable characters but I didn’t see the point. Why bring Lottie and Neil on board if Ted and Neeta want to maintain their secret? What was Neeta doing to Neil in all the “sessions”? Why even hide the secret? What were Ted and Neeta wanting to accomplish, end goal? Then that final plot twist at the end - really? Seems so far fetched it’s a bit ridiculous. It seems like a lot of unnecessary drama.

I will definitely check out the next by this author but would recommend earlier work vs this one.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for a copy in exchange for a review.

I loved this book, such a good read that kept me guessing right to the end . The twists and turns kept going through the whole book which made it difficult to leave down. The story unfolds leaving you wanting more after every chapter. I would highly recommend this book to everyone you loves a good psychological thriller

I thoroughly enjoy K.L. Slater’s books and this one was no exception! The Bedroom Window was about a family who falls on hard times and moves to a new town. The husband’s bosses are a husband and wife who seem a little shady and too good to be true. Then there is a plot twist that I didn’t see coming! So good! 4/5 stars

This book had me sucked in from the get-go!
Poor Lottie, a woman with a difficult past has finally gotten a fresh start at life with a wonderful son and a husband who has recovered from a terrible accident. Of course, things and people aren’t always as they seem.
Just when things seem to be working out for her family, Lottie gets suspicious of the new neighbors, and it totally spirals out of control.
With twists and turns, I never knew what would happen next, and I definitely couldn’t wait to find out! I have this one 5/5 stars!

I have a hard time reviewing this book because I think this story has the potential to be a great psychological thriller. However, I believe it felt short in deliverence
The book starts with a prologue that many thriller books are tending to use, which is the HOOK pages. We open with a bloody scene of a women cleaning the evidence of her crimes. But we do not know who this women is, her name, what she did, who was murdered? So you are basically intrigued to continue reading.

We are then introduced to a small family of three who went through a lot in past years and now they are given the chance for a brand new life with a couple offering the father a job.
as the story proceeds, we find out that every major character in the book in harboring a secret and you tend to have a feeling that these secrets are life-altering.
Then, the book shifts in time to tell us events that happened 20/18 years ago with little Charlie and Claire.
The story starts out slow at first with small twists and events and then it suddenly picks up so fast by page 200 that everything feels rushed

but so many things prevented this book to be enjoyable
1- I saw the plot twist a mile a way, and even when the writer attempted to throw in another twist it was also predictable. I suppose this happens with readers who read many thriller books. nothing surprises you anymore

2- You feel nothing for the characters. Non of these characters held the depth or the attitute that you as a reader get the sense to feel connected with any of them
Lottie is the nosey wife who stood by her husband Neil when he had an accident that almost rendered him paralysed. We were supposed to feel empathatic with her and what he did, but slowly slowly you discover that she is a meddler, with an awful past. I did not get her love for her mother. nothing implied that she was attached to her. So I was questioning her sudden feelings during the reunion
Neil is the worst kind of husband. His wife stood by him during the toughest time but he did not have the decency to give her the benefit of the doubt and investigate what she told him and what she saw. Always gaslighting her just becasue he got the job he wanted and didn't want to lose it

I did not understand the motive of the supposidely "villians in the story",Why they had to change physically? did not know why Mary behaved this drastically, did not get why they demolished a perfectly built house suitable to hide a secret to build a glass see through house!!
There were many plot holes and questions unanswered. and the ages of some of the characters did not make sense at all
Lottie meets her mother after 18 years, and she says she is now 80 or late 70, so that makes her around 60 when the events took place! but she had a 13 year old daughter so she had her when she was 45! but she was close to Claire's mother age who was in her thirties???
and there were scenes that you did understand why they are there! like Neeta threatens Neil with something. she wears skimpy clothes infront of him, and tells him 'let's get started". 30 minutes later he is sweaty and lipstick is on his cheeks. but he swears he did not cheat on his wife. So what was he doing???

A lot of things did not make sense, Like Tom and Mary hiring a PI but then Mary doing what she did out of the blue! we do not get the sence that she is metally unstable?!

Finally, some of the names were really uninventive and force you to concentrate at the beginning to know whom the book is talking about
Neeta , Neil
Tom, Ted
Charlie, Claire
Kay, Keris
I mean, try to at least give the character different alphabet letters!
