The Houseshare

A new beginning…a new nightmare!

Speaking of the beginning- the beginning of this book which occurs twenty years earlier, opens with horrific bullying. It is both heartbreaking and gripping. It will leave you wanting to know more….

In the present – Libby feels so lucky to have a new home. Her new landlord has been wonderful, filling her home with furniture for her to use until she can purchase her own. She is looking forward to a new beginning after leaving a bad relationship.

Days later she hears arguing and possibly her name being said…why would people argue about her? She has also begun to feel as if someone is watching her. Could it be her horrible ex-boyfriend or someone else? Plus, she learns the previous tenant left without a trace. It feels as if someone has been in her apartment (at least treats were left) and she is feeling uneasy. Then she finds a note left behind…….

This book started strongly, and I read it in one day. I was curious to see how things would play out. I felt for Libby and her plight. I enjoyed seeing her close relationship with her sister and felt it was used nicely in the book. I enjoyed the Authors use of tension. As Libby begins to feel anxious and worried, so do readers.

I found this to be entertaining and gripping.

3.25/3.5 stars
