I finished this book in under 24 hours, I was hooked! The vibes were eerie and the suspense was felt from the very beginning. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a fast paced psychological thriller. I really liked that the twists weren’t something you typically read about. Salem was slightly more intelligent than the typical thriller female main character. I’m not going to say more because I enjoy going into books blind and don’t want to ruin anything for the next person to read The Apartment Across The Hall by Jack Dane. Thank you NetGalley.

I really enjoyed this book. It was full of suspense & many twists to keep me entertained throughout. A definite must read!!!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy to honestly review.

The Apartment Across The Hall by Jack Dane is a gripping psychological thriller that explores obsession, secrets, and the unsettling consequences of curiosity. Salem Ripley, a young woman new to New York City, becomes fixated on her mysterious neighbor and his strange visitors. What begins as simple intrigue quickly escalates into a dark and dangerous investigation that reveals shocking truths.

Dane’s writing is sharp and suspenseful, building tension with every page. The slow unraveling of the mystery, paired with Salem’s growing paranoia, keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The protagonist’s internal struggle adds depth to the story, making it as psychologically engaging as it is thrilling.

With its unexpected twists and compelling characters, The Apartment Across The Hall is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. It's a tense, fast-paced novel that will have you questioning reality long after the final page.

The start got me hooked but then the story dragged a little until the final twists.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wasn’t able to read this one digitally but I did get a physical copy of the book so will be reviewing it after I’ve read it. I’m really excited for it as I’ve only heard great things about it.

This book was a quick read with some twists and turns. It felt repetitive and rushed and I would have liked more from the characters. I don't enjoy books that feel like I'm just rereading the same thing.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.

I wanted to love this one but unfortunately it was a bit too far fetched for me. It was repetitive at times, and I struggled to connect to the characters. Please give it a try yourself as you may find you really like it.

This is definitely a thriller, filled with tension, unease, and unexplained events. It’s also short and fairly punchy. There’s not a lot of extraneous plot lines and the story moves along at a good pace. With just enough misdirection and a somewhat impetuous and clueless protagonist, the story also tosses out a few curveballs.

There are misunderstood events and some mysterious characters, with a vast majority of the story taking place in an old apartment building in New York City. Fair warning, it can also seem a bit gruesome too. But, if you enjoy a story with some unexpected twists as well as some twisted characters, you’ll enjoy The Apartment Across the Hall. It was 3.5 stars for me. NetGalley provided an advance reader copy.

A little predictable but not completely and very suspenseful. This is the first book I have read by this author and I would definitely seek out others.

This book right here is everything.

The Apartment Across the Hall

In under 250 pages, Jack Dane, takes us on the ride of a lifetime.

Lately I was falling into a thriller "lul", I considered taking a break and getting my boots knocked over in the Romance section ...

BUTTTTT

The Apartment Across the Hall, just pulled me in.

I finished this book in one sitting and honestly feel as though I have whiplash from the twist. This is by far, my favorite book of the year.


Check out this teaser :

They say you can’t pick your neighbors… but can you survive them?

When Salem Ripley moves into her apartment in New York City, she’s disheartened to find it isn’t exactly like the pictures. Still, with her past, she’s lucky to find a place at all.

Her neighbor across the hall is tall, dark and handsome. After seeing his beautiful girlfriend, Salem can’t help but obsess over the couple and their perfect life.

Then Salem sees her neighbor with another girl. And another. And another. The strangest part? She never sees the women leave.

Salem should ignore it.. After all, it’s really none of her business. But she can’t shake the strange feeling that something is wrong–and that lives are at stake. She has no choice–she has to find out what’s going on in the apartment across the hall…

Tense and a little dark, I read this in one sitting because I needed to know what was going on. And even when I thought I did, I didn't!! I love the authors writing style and was captivated by this one.

This short psychological thriller had me hooked from page one.! It is a true page turner in the classic sense. No difficult language or confusing changes of view or time period. Just a straight forward thriller. Told mostly by the protagonist Salem Ridley, a young woman who’s been having a rough time finding an affordable apartment. Her friend Derek hooks her up with a small, affordable studio and she thinks she has it made. A older resident tells her “you shouldn’t be here” an omen she chooses to ignore. Things turn dark right away including her tall, handsome neighbor Victor. She meets him in the laundry room with a shirt covered in blood. Who should she trust? What’s going on? I read this book in one sitting. It is a fun, fast book with a good amount of escapism. Perfect for in between longer more complicated books.

This book gave me all the creepy and eerie feels and I loved it. I wasn't sure what was going on, with all the women going into the apartment but then never seeming to leave. Something strange and sinister is obviously going on and I was hooked as I was reading, determined to find out what was happening. I recommend this book.

This is different.

I was very curious about what exactly was happening in this strange apartment building and I very much did not like the answer to it all.

The plot was a little thin, our main character wasn't terribly clever, and the reasons behind everything kind of stretched belief a bit.

That being said, it was definitely suspenseful. It just wasn't quite for me.

The Apartment Across The Hall was a quick, easy to read thriller. From the beginning it kept me interested and wanting to read more to figure out what was happening in Salem's New apartment building. The book has suspense and mystery and was a fast paced read. I think the plot twist was unique, and not just a 'murderer next door.' You never know who your neighbors are!

This was a great psychological thriller.
A lot of twists and turns and definitely not the ending I was expecting (in a good way) !
Definitely recommend reading this book.

This was a really well done psychological thriller novel, it had that element that I was looking for and was on the edge of my seat when reading this. The characters worked well overall and was glad they felt like they were supposed to in this world. Jack Dane has a strong writing style and am excited for more.

thank you net galley for the arc. this book was hard to believe,creepy,but full of twist and turns salem get an apartment with derek help.creepy things happend, she out of options and has nowhere else to go she stays.

Wow! I was approved for this book just this afternoon and read it in one sitting it was that good! It grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until the end! So many twists and turns! Very exciting thriller!

Firstly thank you to the publishers for my early access in exchange for a review.
