Wasn’t able to read this one digitally but I did order a copy of the book so will be reviewing it after I’ve read it. I’m really excited for it as I’ve only heard great things about it.

This book didn’t disappoint.

Suspenseful and fast paced. Definitely worth the read!

I was so intrigued when this one started, so into it. But then it just lost its thrill entirely, why, I don't even know. It just was boring to me and was a little jumbled and didn't make sense to me. It might just be a me problem.

Naomi thinks she’s finally found her forever home—until the sale of her apartment falls through and everything starts unraveling.

Then comes Summer, a sweet, soft-spoken single mom who swoops in to buy Naomi’s place… but things quickly get weird. Summer starts showing up everywhere—same school, same friends, even copying Naomi’s clothes—and when Naomi finds a dollhouse that’s an exact replica of her own home? EEK...mega creepy "Single White Female" vibes!

This is one of those slow-burning thrillers that sneaks up on you and makes you question every single character.

Thank you to NetGalley, Natasha Boydell, and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read this eerie and addictive ARC!

The Doll's House was a creepy story with plenty of twists and turns. The description alone gave me goose bumps and the story did not disappoint. I highly recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my ARC.

What a ride. Naomi sells her flat to a single mother and couldn’t be happier. Until this woman starts popping up in all aspects of her life. Things begin going missing around her home and her once popular child is being ostracized in school. Is Naomi going crazy like everyone says?

I was completely drawn into the atmospheric world of 'The Doll's House' by Natasha Boydell. The way she builds suspense is masterful, and the secrets hidden within the walls of the old house felt incredibly real. I love a good gothic thriller, and this one delivered on all fronts. The characters are complex and intriguing, and the sense of unease that permeates the story kept me turning the pages late into the night. If you're looking for a chilling and beautifully written mystery that will stay with you long after you finish, I highly recommend 'The Doll's House.

This one made me look over my shoulder. Creepy atmosphere, engaging story, and enough twists and turns to make it impossible to put down. Think Single White Female turned up a few hundred notches. Loved it!

Thanks for the opportunity to read! I’m recommending this one to all my thriller lovers!

Thriller indeed!!
I felt pure anxiety from start to finish lol. Poor Naomi, being made out to be crazy by everyone else but as the reader knowing she’s completely in her right mind to feel suspicious. Summer had that perfect level of creep factor along with charisma and at times even I found myself questioning, whether Naomi really was the victim. So well done! I will say her husband of all people really pissed me off because he was entertaining where he absolutely had no business even giving access to. But he did stay fairly supportive so I’ll give him that. The ending hit me like a whirlwind, and the epilogue especially was the perfect amount of unhinged.

"The Doll's House" gave me my first book hangover in 2025. The depth of description for the characters, the type of neighborhood, and the backstory helped set the mood and setting. Dynamics between families of children in the same schools, getting into those various cliques, and even the children themselves were something out of daily life. I questioned every character in this book at some point and had empathy, though questionable actions are an understatement.

Unfortunately I did not get into this one, and decided not to finish. I think it will appeal to fans of dark, suspenseful, scary thrillers- but it was just not my cup of tea.

Creepy elements in this book stay with the reader long after the story is done. It is rich, terrifying, but ultimately brilliant. What a wonderful and engaging read.

Thrilling and gripping. Flew through it. The tiniest bit disappointed with the ending. Do have some questions which could be answered with a sequel... maybe? Would have loved a more clever reveal at the end but otherwise it was still a good read.

I loved the creepiness in this book along with the obsession. It was petty, and I couldnt wait to see how it all panned out.

When I first read the synopsis of this book, I just knew I had to read it. I love psychological thrillers but don’t read them as often as I should. It can feel like they all seem to roll into one and it’s hard to remember which was which.
That’s not a problem here though as The Doll’s House is going to be a stand out in its genre.
It’s a particularly dark theme full of mystery and suspense.
It focuses around a family whose lives start to fall apart. As a result of which, secrets come to light & buried and almost forgotten truths find their way to the surface.

Natasha Boydell is a truly gifted author. With her skill for such descriptive prowess, she’s created an immersive world that makes you feel everything. Literal goosebumps whilst reading this creepy, atmospheric tale.
This isn’t specific to just the world building, she gives the same attention to detail to the characters as everything else.
They are unique, interesting, complex & flawed and each one brings something to the story.
I absolutely loved this one, and it’s a book that I’ll be thinking about for months to come.
An easy 5 star for me.
