Many thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC of this book!
Salem Ripley moves into a new apartment. It’s not a fantastic place, but it’s a place to live. She meets her neighbor across the hall, Victor, in the laundry room. Only… his clothes look like they have blood on them. She sees him with his girlfriend and she can’t help but kind of obsess over them. She’s lonely. Then she sees Victor with another girl and another girl, both at his apartment. She sees them go in, but never sees them come out. Salem can’t rid herself of her curiosity and the feeling that something is terribly wrong. She must find out what’s going on at Victor’s apartment.
This book starts out with the suspense right from the get-go and it doesn’t let up once throughout the entire book. I was reading with baited breath the entire time. I didn’t know what was going on, what was going to happen, or how things were going to end up. There were two major twists in the book that I didn’t see coming at all.
Salem seemed so down and out at the beginning. Very docile, very much like she just let anything happen to her and never took responsibility for the way that her life was turning out. By the end of the book, that Salem was never to be seen again. She was brave and strong. She was taking charge of her life and the direction it was going in.
I don’t want to say TOO much more about this book other than this book is MADE for thriller readers. It’s a quick read, it’s fast paced, you begin reading and it goes straight into the story. You don’t get all the flouncy background that other books give you. It’s straight and to the point. It’s simply a fantastic read.
This will be out on January 3, 2025, and it will be available on Kindle Unlimited. You can check it out here!
