This was a short and quick thriller novella by one of my favorite authors.
I was pulled in right away and read the whole story in one sitting. It was bingable but left me wanting more out of the story. Overall would recommend.

I just finished The Sublet by Greer Hendricks, and what a wild ride! This book totally pulled me in from the first page. It’s twisty, tense, and full of that psychological suspense Greer Hendricks does so well. The story keeps you guessing, and I loved how the characters felt so real and flawed. If you’re into fast-paced thrillers with lots of surprises, definitely check out this book.

not everyone is cut out to write short stories, and that's okay, we can do without the weird pacing, the plot holes, and the overused elements. I can see this being a lot better if she had more time to expand on the creepiness and more room to veil the very obvious hints of what was happening

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
The Sublet by Greer Hendricks is a short, atmospheric thriller that blends wellness-culture satire with subtle suspense. It’s moody, smart, and unsettling in just the right ways—though its brevity leaves some threads untied. Perfect if you want a quick, chilling read that lingers.
3/ 5

This was very uneven, and had no depth. The ending felt abrupt.I don't understand the twist at the end and what the stakes were. Felt choppy and lazy writing.

A slick, atmospheric thriller perfect for a quick suspense fix. If you love short, twisty stories with mood and momentum, The Sublet delivers. But if you crave deeper character arcs or a more satisfying, expansive conclusion, you might feel like it stops just as it’s getting started.

The Sublet was written well and I thought the beginning was exciting with the main character driving off into the night and we don't know the reason. But from there, I thought the story fell a little flat. The grand reveal I thought wasn't so grand, and I had a feeling of "that's it?" when I finished reading.

A very anti-climactic short story. Nothing much happens and it's a bit confusing. Definitely not a new favorite.

Anne is a ghostwriter who gets hired by the newest viral wellness coach, Melody. It comes with gruesome hours and demands but with the help from Melody, Anne's family gets to move into a seemingly perfect sublet but mysteries arise once they move in.
I love a good short story but this was just not one of them. It was a quick and engaging enough with a little suspense but the ending felt rushed and overall was anticlimactic and not for me.
Thank you NetGalley for this eARC!

Pros: everything
Cons: it was a short story. I want more! I am such a huge fan of Greer and all of the books they have written in the past, including the co-author books. This author has a way of drawing you in from the first word and not letting you go until months after you have finished reading, and this short story was no different. I finished it about three weeks ago and I still can’t get it out of my mind. Do yourself a favor and take a couple hours to read this. You won’t regret it.

Liked this short story but wanted more. I felt like this could have been a regular book because the ending felt kinda rushed but overall really enjoyed

It was my first read from Greer Hendricks. The book was amazing. The ending was unpredictable, and the story was easy to understand. I only wish the book were a bit longer.

4 out of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers
It has been a long time since we had a Greer Hendricks book. I keep hoping for more from her and her writing partner but I fear we will not get anymore. For that reason I was super happy to get something new from her. I really enjoyed this.
Ghostwriter Anne was offered the chance to ghostwrite Melody Wells (health and lifestyle guru) as Anne falls deeper under Melody's spell Anne begins to work longer and longer hours, following Melody's advice and taking her supplements. When Anne mentions to that she her husband and their twins are cramped in a tiny Manhattan apartment Melody mentions she that she knows of a sublet Anne jumps at the chance. Lets just say things don't go swimmingly.

This was a good short story from a writer I have read quite a few other titles from. I always recommend her because her pacing is good and there is always a pretty good story.

I thought this was good. I don't feel that it had any life-changing, mind-blowing reveals, but being a short story, there isn't a ton of time to build up suspense or lead the reader in a different direction before the twists start coming. So that considered, I thought this was well done. It was still intriguing and suspenseful, and was an easy and enjoyable read. 3 stars as it is something I will still recommend, but is not something I see myself raving about for years to come.

A quick short story about a ghostwriter working for a fancy lifestyle guru (think GOOP). However the guru and her products have a dark side which our main character begins to realize quite quickly.. Melody her employer and entrepreneur offers her a apartment that is too good to be true, and Anne the main character finds the apartment has a unsettling atmosphere. As Anne lives there she becomes paranoid with the strange things happening in this "sublet"
Due to the length of the book I felt the story became rushed and the ending was a tad disappointing.
However I love books by Greer Hendricks and look forward to her next one.

The Sublet by Greer Hendricks
I have enjoyed so many stories by this author, but was disappointed in this novella. I loved the premise and the suspense built nicely, but the ending left me confused and unsatisfied. Had this been a draft outline for a full length novel, I would definitely want to read the finished product. I will continue to read more from this author but will stick to her full length novels.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance digital copy of this novella, in return, here is my honest review.

This was just meh. I in general like Amazon original stories because they are short and they deliver but this was a miss.
At the beginning it was still okay but as the story progresses it just became boring and predictable. I don't know what I should even feel about it.
Thank you netgalley and Amazon original stories for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

I enjoyed this eerie, creepy, psychological thriller short story. Anne is a ghostwriter for an odd, controlling, meditative woman named Melody who wants to publish her inspirational, self-help book. But as the story progresses, there are strange occurrences and behaviors in Anne’s life that seem to be tied to Melody. This would be interesting as a fully, fleshed out book - spooky and scary happenings tied in with precious life moments. Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Original Stories for the digital ARC.

Well developed characters in the form of a short story is tough to do but Hendricks does it here. Ghost story at first felt like it needed to be longer but it paid off.
