niinjah 's review for:
The New House
by Tess Stimson
This will probably be one of my favorite books this year. An absolutely thrilling, fascinating ride that really got under my skin.
Synopsis: Millie and Tom have discovered the perfect home, the glass house. They will do anything to get it. Harper and Kyle feel overjoyed when Millie and Tom’s house is ready to be sold. When Millie meets the owner of the glass house she becomes obsessed with the owner, Stacey. Something isn’t quite right with the relationship between Stacey and Felix.
This was an addictive joy-ride that never got boring. The story alternates between different POV’s and I found all the characters intriguing and real. There are also chapters where one character (we don’t know who) describes his/her life as a psychopath, and it is utterly convincing. Even if the story feels like it never could happen in real life, you feel that if it actually happened, you would believe it was possible. The story keeps you at the edge of your seat, and the writing style really appealed to me. I am sure the author has used a lot of time to research psychopathy and heart surgery, which only makes me respect the book more. The new house would make a great movie, with its original plot and fast pace.
