Psychological thrillers couldn't be made better than this. Brilliant.
Welcome to The Open House.
Congratulations your house is on the Market and thirteen people are coming to see it but one thing you don't know is that only twelve people will go alive outside.
Meet Barb, an ex mother in law whose son, Nick is getting a divorce from his wife Amber who have two children, Finley and Leo.
Story become tense because of an unknown POV. Although Amber and Barb will continue their jobs of entertaining the reader but the chapters are short and I think some of the chapters have to be merged but it's my opinion.
Narration of the story was very good.
Characters were good but Amber was somewhat pathetic.
If you've loved Sam Carrington earlier then you're definitely be going to love this book.
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

Everyone’s welcome. But not everyone leaves…
Nick and Amber Miller are splitting up and selling their Devon family home. But despite the desirable location, the house isn’t moving. Not a single viewing so far.

This was gripping read! Full of twists and turns that will leave you thinking what?
Open House was a good one!
I loved the setting, the characters, the way this was told.
It was fun, haunting, exciting, scary.

Thank You NetGalley publishers and author for this ebook copy!

Thank you to Avon Books UK, Sam Carrington, and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

All Amber Miller wants to do is sell her house. It’s been a couple months and she wants to move out and move in with her current boyfriend, away from her current ex-husband and his overbearing mother-in-law. The more Amber tries to pull away, the more it seems they pull her back - using her two children as leverage. The house is not taking any bites it seems, until they set up an open house. She observes thirteen people walk into her house (not including Carl, the real estate agent) and twelve people leave her house. From there, mysterious things start to occur. Could someone be hiding, lurking, watching her every move? And what do they want?

This book excites with fast pacing. The writing style fit this fast pace as it took you from scene to scene. I found Amber understandable, dealing with the situation around her - being brave for herself and especially her kids. She finds herself confused with the events going on but manages to stay strong and determined to figure out what is plaguing their house. The mysterious noises at night and the moving of furniture really would have creeped me out!

The ending however I found slightly jumbled. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, their motivations only coming clear at the end. I’ll give it to Sam Carrington though - usually I can guess were some of the subplots are going, for this book I couldn’t at all! Definitely kept the book exciting and a fast read (I believe I read this in three days.) I'll definitely be checking out more of Carrington's books.

An excellent thriller! The characters were well drawn and the storyline flowed seamlessly. The mystery kept me guessing until the very end. Highly recommended!

A compelling tale with creepy moments and a crazy ending!

Amber and her husband, Nick, are divorcing. She’s in the process of trying to sell their house so they can split the proceeds and move on with their lives. When her dodgy real estate agent suggests an open house to try and attract interest (and a buyer), Amber grudgingly agrees...as long as she’s not there while it’s taking place.

Things take a suspenseful turn when she’s watching the folks arrive to the open house from her doorbell camera app. Thirteen people enter the house that day, but she’s pretty sure she only sees twelve people leaving.

That is all I will say, as I don’t want to spoil anything. This is a suspenseful read that has more than one chilling moment. There’s a lot of subplots, and it’s very interesting to see how creatively everything ties together in the end. Kudos to author Sam Carrington. While you may anticipate some of the surprises, you will not fully put together the who, what , and why.

There’s a lot going on at the end. I may have had to suspend disbelief just a bit at a few revelations. However, it’s a fun and mysterious read, and it kept me entertained. One thing is for sure...I would’ve been out of that house so fast if I lived there. Bye, Felicia!

3.5 stars.

Thank you to Avon Books UK, Sam Carrington, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Nick and Amber are trying to sell their house in Devon. No one seems interested in buying the house. But their is someone who does not want them to sell. This was a page turner. Kept me guessing until the end.

This is one of your guilty pleasure books. A book that is semi predictable and you have red some many like it that the plots seem to blur together but for some reason you can’t enough of it.

The whole book I had a smile plastered on my face because I love books like this and this one was actually well written and the evil grandma angle was believable and it didn’t read like a lifetime movie plot.

I’m not going to lie even though I should to make myself sound cool but I read this on one sitting on a gloomy Saturday and this book transported me away from all that. Though every cream or movement in the house sends me a bit on edge now.

I do have to say the ending was WAYYY too jumbled for me. There were too many characters involved and honestly the ending wasn’t really a SHOCKER ending, the whole book led up to something that was mediocre at best.

The Open House Review!
Nick and Amber are selling their house. They are struggling to sell it so they decide to have an open house. 13 enter, 12 leave. This is a classic case of whodunit. It’s a page turner that leaves the reader wanting more. This is a solid thriller that will leave any lover satisfied. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

What makes divorce even worse? The inability to sell the family home, slowing divorce proceedings even more. Amber just wants to move on, so when their realtor suggests an open house, she readily agrees. Yes, it might allow their nosy neighbors a chance to see the inside of their home, but that’s not what she should be worrying about. Because not all of the people who enter the house to look around, walk back out the door

OMG, I'm blown away by the ending of this book! Absolutely brilliant, gripping, chilling, creepy & left you thinking right til the very end.

You see 13 people enter your house & only see 12 leave! And that's all I'm going to say, I'm not ruining this one for anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Thankyou to Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review.

I received an advance copy of, The Open House, by Sam Carrington. Amber and Nick are splitting up and selling their house. So far nobody is interested. Somebody, does not want them to sell their house. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not wait to see how it ended.
