Come a Little Closer by Karen Perry

2.0

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This story is about Leah who moves into the basement of a large house with her boyfriend Jake. Anton lives upstairs and has just been released from prison for murdering his wife. Then we have Hilary and her husband who used to live in the basement before Anton went to prison. Leah strikes up a friendship with Anton but as readers we have no idea whether or not she is safe with him.

Unfortunately I really didn’t enjoy this book. I found the story far too slow and in my opinion it is marketed wrong being called a thriller. I really didn’t care very much about any of the characters. I guessed the ending from around halfway through the book. From the premise of this book I thought it would be a bit creepy but it definitely wasn’t. I have previously read a book by this author and enjoyed it so I will definitely give this author another try.
