Spare Room is about a Kelly who is looking for a break from her fiancé and a friend offers her a spare room in her house with her husband. As time goes along she find out they have done this before with another woman. Kelly strives to find out what happen to the woman before her.
This was a good story and I really enjoyed it. However, at times the book moved a little slow but those moments where few and far between for me. There was a couple of sex scenes but they are very low key and but relevant to the story. This story did keep me turning pages to find out what happen to the other woman before Kelly.
This is a good page turner and was a very good read. This took me only 7 days to read (because I do have a life).

This book and especially main character gave me the ick. It actually surprised me, though, which is hard to do so I gave it 2 instead of 1 star. I love the audiobook narrator, too.
I didn't love this one because it was super focused on the romance and relationship side as opposed to being a thriller first. It was well written, easy to follow, but the characters weren't super relatable. A good book, but not for me!
I was really not a fan of this book. It took me a long time to read because I was just not motivated to pick it up. It is a thriller, but it didn’t start getting thrilling until the 70% mark. Before then, it was just an insufferable main character, pandemic clichés, and super spicy romance. If that’s what you enjoy, then you’ll probably like this book. I just wasn’t a big fan. I kept waiting for something to happen! I was looking for clues that didn’t amount to anything and there were some scenes that I felt were totally unnecessary (i.e. hot tub). I didn’t like the main character, Kelly, at all, and I don’t think that was the author’s intention. I’ve never heard of a 34 year old woman crying so much! She cried on a coffee date, cried at a brewery, cried while talking about mundane things… it was very weird to me. Overall, I thought it was really a 2 star book, but I added a half star for the twist.
okay in the beginning the drama was messy and fun. but it’s kind of lazy to like do the character work for your characters at the end so everything falls in “place”.
3.5 stars rounded down | This book had a lot of potential, and a few good plot twists, but that was about it. Kelly is insufferable and honestly the worst character in the book. I was all in for the first half or so and then it started slipping and couldn’t recover.
I’d give this 2.5-3 stars. It’s very average in every way. I was excited to read this novel because I loved the author’s previous novel, We Were Never Here. However, this one falls far short of expectations.
It’s the story of Kelly, who’s taking some space from her fiancé during Covid. She moves in with an old high school friend and her husband (Sabrina and Nathan). As these three grow closer, Kelly learns that someone close to the couple has gone missing. The book does a good job with the isolated feeling of the pandemic but otherwise it falls flat.

Remote mansion in the Blue Ridge Mountains, an escape during the pandemic, a weird threesome proposal from a former high school friend while you “figure things out” with your estranged fiance? What could go wrong? Um, so much. This book was bonkers in the most scattered way. I did not care about a single character in this book, and the “mystery” was vague and strange. Definitely had some twists I didn’t see coming, but also like, what did I just read?
3.5 stars - this book was ridiculous and i was rolling my eyes a lot but i also actually enjoyed it. It was repetitive and Kelly was frustratingly immature but the whole stranger in the house turned throuple turned murder mystery was a trope i didn’t know i needed. I wasn’t super happy with the ending but it needed that thriller twisty vibe to tie up the loose ends. Definitely not your typical thriller although they did try to filter in the creepy, isolation vibes throughout so you knew it would all come to a head eventually.
I thought this was entertaining! I can see how some people might get annoyed with the main characters, but I enjoyed it and found their annoyances a little overexplained at the end but still good. Fun story.
Also the audiobook narrator was great
