Amy is the perfect landlady. But she does have some ground rules…
Kate has always dreamed of a life in music. And now she’s finally done something about it – giving up her steady job, moving to the city to enroll in a degree program at a prestigious college.
Needing a place to live, she answers an ad and moves in with Amy who seems a nice lady – mothering and protective.
At first Kate is glad to have some support in this strange city, but gradually Amy’s presence becomes more and more stifling – it just seems so hard to get away from her. And every time Kate tries, something terrible happens…
As her life spirals downwards, Kate struggles to understand what’s happening. Is Amy plotting against her? Or is she simply buckling under the stress of adjusting to her new life?
Fearing for her sanity, Kate knows she needs to get some answers and begins to look into the history of the creepy old house she shares with Amy. What she finds is beyond her worst nightmares…
A twisty tale and just how much would or could you trust a stranger! At times, if I bit my nails I might have been tempted as things did not look good for Kate!
Moving in with Amy should be a new start but it soon turns into a living hell. However, who should be worried? Is Amy setting Kate up? Or is it Kate, is she doing these things she denies?
There are enough subtle hints throughout the book to get where it might go, there are also more subliminal messages to make you question if it really is going to go that way. Something I love! I had zero ideas of the outcome but was heavily suspicious. From Amy’s words to Kates’s behaviour you have enough to keep you guessing and frantically turning the pages.
I still feel dizzy from this book, I was turned around by the words Angela was laying out in front of me. I was hooked and wanted to know what was going to happen next! I did feel a little flat by the ending because I think I was expecting something explosive, following what had happened but the ending was fitting
My first read by Angela and it was an awesome way to start! This book has unreliable narrators and enough to make you doubt your own name!
Until next time xxx
