The Roommate

Kiersten Modglin

3.53 AVERAGE


When your life is falling apart, you can always lean on your best friend or can you!?! Beware of who you choose to live with.

The Roommate was one of those creepy-crawly reads that left me wanting to scream and pull my hair out—mostly at Elias, but also at Wes. To run. Fast. In the opposite direction and never EVER go back.

As with any KMod book, I found myself reading quickly to get to the end for a taste of one of her famous shockingly twisted endings—and I got one...but, gah, I'm not sure how I feel about it.

The Roommate was a stressfully enjoyable read (that’s a thing, right?) and I’m excited to see what she might bring us next!

WOW! I could not put this down!

The story was really predictable, and I didn't really like the characters. The story was still fast paced though.

Awesome read loved the twists and turns Kiersten Modglin never disappoints!!!

Another great psychological thriller from Kiersten. It seems like her thriller books are getting better and better every single one that I read. The roommate shows off her unique writing style so very well. I absolutely love being able to read her books and enjoy them from beginning to end. This one was no different for me.
Wes and Addy are having some marriage issues. Wes isn't sure what to do about what is going on but he knows that he doesnt want to lose her. She has asked him to move out. Wes accepts help from one of his close friends. But is he really a friend? That is what is so interesting about this one. Who can you really trust? I absolutely love the way the suspense is built up and the relationship between the characters. I never pictured this storyline playing out the way that it did.
Another amazing psychological thriller from Kiersten. One I of course highly recommend.

Wow. I didn't see that coming. I found myself yelling at the Kindle...a lot. It's been a long time since I've read a book that fast.

Wesley's marriage is on the rocks and his daughter Rory is hitting her teens. Finding it hard to connect or save his marriage he moves in with Elias. Roommate from heaven...or more like hell?

The quality of writing is good, easy to read with a good steady pace. Could have had a bigger plot. The character development was good for such a short book. The book cover gave off a very mysterious feel.

I liked were this book was going. The plot was well thought out, but could have had a bigger WOW factor. Overall a quick fast paced read and a storyline which I did enjoy.
