At the start of this book, a character mentions a statistic that roughly 10 in a thousand people are psychopaths. So what are the odds that a few of them will meet, become friends, and at the same time have one goal: to buy a house? Well, this was one exciting read on Valentine's day. Dark, suspenseful, and mysterious, with a crazy twist at the end. It manages to hold my interest. The tension, the drama, the characters, the murder—all executed in pages that simply fly by at a breakneck speed. Enjoyed!
Three couples: Stacey and Felix, owners of the Glass House. Millie and Tom, have long wanted to buy the Glass House. Harper and Kyle, are eager to purchase Millie and Tom's house. What happens when things don't work out the way you want?
Stacey is a famous tv host, but her marriage is not what it seems. Harper is a popular internet vlogger with dreams of moving up in society. Millie has always wanted to own the Glass House and is willing to do anything to get it.
I really enjoyed Stolen, by Tess Stimson, so I was excited to read this newest one from her. It definitely did not disappoint. I enjoyed the different points of view, and especially the "SET Talks" chapters. Learning the inner workings of a psychopath's mind was interesting. Every single character is absolutely crazy and you're left wondering how it's going to end. It was one absolutely twisted story. There is quite a bit of violence detailed in the story, so be prepared.
There were a couple of things I felt were left somewhat unresolved, not major plot holes, but left me wondering what the point was for having mentioned them. Overall though, this was an absolute thrilling read!

4 1/2 stars.
Dark and gruesome. Centers around 3 couples, with the women being the main characters. This was a unique psychological thriller that kept my heart racing. I felt the ending was a little bit of a let-down, but maybe it was purposeful.

“You think you’ve found your dream home…Think again…”
The New House is an intriguing and fascinating tale both in plot and it’s characters. This is quite a hard book to review as I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but I will say there is way more to this book than what the blurb provides. So much more indeed *rubs hands with glee!*
Thrilling, chilling and so very twisted, this is one deviously clever and wicked tale that I really enjoyed and highly recommend you checking out.
