The Stranger Upstairs by Lisa M. Matlin

Please, stop harming animals in books!!!!!! I’m literally so over it. I can’t even enjoy the book when I know an animal is in danger. It doesn’t make your book, or the anticipation better. I will never give an author a 5 star rating if an animal is harmed in any way. Sorry, not sorry! That being said, this story had a lot of potential, but felt a little unoriginal given the film “Taking Lives”. I really liked all of the twists revealed in the end. I really was hoping it was more spooky/haunted. But overall it was an easy, quick read.
