Freida McFadden wrote another banger! I have yet to see her drop the ball, whenever I start one of her books I know I'm in for a good time. Pick this one up if you're into:
* NYC psycho roomie thrillers
* unlikable, problematic, but thoroughly charming characters
* revenge dramas
* the banalities of domestic life, but gruesome
* unhinged love stores

Premise - After Blake Porter loses his high-flyer job as a VP of marketing he needs a financial fix soon or he, and his lovely fiance Christa, will be out on the streets soon. Christa suggests they invite a tenant into their new brownstone and while Blake is reluctant at first, he ultimately caves.

Whitney seems perfect - beautiful, charming, down-to-earth - but soon after she moves in things start getting really weird. Their home smells like death, no matter how much they clean, and the neighbors start acting strange. Throw in some unsettling noises at night and the threat of past secrets coming out, and you've got a hair-raising psychological thriller!

Perfect pacing, rich character development, delicious deviance, and the sort of awful behavior that makes you grateful you're on this side of fiction. So so SOOOO good!

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Will Damron and Christine Helen Lakin. Damron's read is so wonderfully smarmy you instadislike Blake, but also can't look away from the five car pileup of his life. Lakin's Crista is no less compelling, though she only pops up for brief interludes. They're both strong narrators, delivering varied, engaging reads without ever veering into melodrama. The audiobook is a treat, I highly recommend enjoying this story in the audio format!
