I tried my best to read this but had a difficult time following the different characters. I did not read the first book in the series and may have been able to appreciate this more if I had. This book just wasn't for me overall.

I received a digital ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really love psychological thrillers and was really impressed by this book. I really enjoyed the story and the characters. It kept me in suspense and eager to turn the page!

This was my first read from Bonnie Traymore and it certainly will not be my last. Seeing the dueling perspectives of both Laura and Allie were incredible. I actually felt my heart race when Allie's was racing in the book. I would love to see a sequel to this if it were to go that way because there is so much family dynamic to unpack for Laura. As for Allie, her representation for the D/deaf or hard of hearing community was fantastic. Bonnie Traymore spoke from personal experience on the matter and really did a great job explaining things in detail. The Guest House was very easy to follow as I can get lost within a Mystery/Thriller and the explanations, but throughout the entire novel that I binged in one day, I felt involved, invested, and thoroughly entertained. I give this an EASY 4 stars. I think it wrapped up a bit too perfectly for me to give it a 5 stars, but again, this book is for every Mystery/Thriller reader and should absolutely be on their bookshelf.

Thank you to Netgalley for this advanced copy!

I really enjoyed the book. Loved the story plot and twists. Approachable characters, realistic situations. Some descriptions or story „fillers” were tiny bit too long, but in overall - very good book and I’d read more by the author. Thank you, great job!

Wow! What a ride. I was hooked from the first page. I did not see that ending coming. Full of suspense and intrigue. A good follow-up to book 1, but it could be read as a stand-alone. There's an entirely new storyline, but it also returns to wrap up some unfinished business from book 1. The addition of a deaf protagonist with a cochlear implant who can sometimes hear and sometimes not was original and refreshing. It added another dimension of complexity and sense of danger. A great read.

Allie Dawson is so excited she has a chance to head to Silicon Valley to bring her innovative product to market! She's deaf with a cochlear implant and she's developed a screen that can clip onto eyeglasses and caption speech in real time! But she had no idea how cutthroat the market can be! Even housing in the valley is hard to come by! She meets a man in a coffee shop who happens to have a guest house to rent! Are things to good to be true?! She takes the place and soon discovered she should have listened to her instincts that something was off about her landlord! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
