About this listen

THE HOUSEMATE.
SHE'S HERE TO STAY.

You've let a stranger into your home.
You don't know her secrets.
You don't know what she wants.

Megan and Chloe have found the perfect house. And when they meet Sammi, she seems like the perfect housemate to share it with. It could be the beginning of a brilliant friendship.

But Megan isn't so sure about this new girl. She knows they need to be careful about who they invite in.

Because once she's in, she's here to stay . . .

What a brilliant story. Very well written and performed. Highly recommend. Cannot wait for more offerings by this author.

Great story

I enjoyed this but I guessed the twist well before the end. I still recommend this book though, it was enjoyable.

A good story with an unexpected twist at the end.
The narrators were great at telling the story but I really felt dissatisfied with the cockney accent and the male voice.
I’d still recommend this novel - might be better to read rather than listen to it though.

Easy to get to the end!

This book had an unexpected ending but could have done so much more with the story. Worth a listen but nothing to rave about if I’m being honest. It seemed to really drag after a while as well.

Dragged a little

great listen and the soothing voice was nice

I really enjoyed this book because this genre is very popular at the moment sometimes they don’t seem to be that good but this one didn’t disappoint.

Nice

I don’t know about anyone else here but l cant stand books that go through a long winded explanation at the end to explain in detail how they 'did it' .....pure 'scooby doo' style.??
Example. '....And as for the murder with the candle in the library let me tell you how l did that.....well it wasnt a candle! I was clever and used a banana!!'
Oh stop! If you need to explain everything at the end then it only shows your plot was so badly executed.
''Could have gotton away with it too....if it weren’t for those'''.....OH SHUT UP!

Long explanation at the end REALLY annoyed me.

I found this a tough listen from the beginning. I was irritated by the 'obviousness' of the descriptions and characterisations. I felt that the story held some promise at the start, but in fact was weak throughout. The supposed 'twist' was easily foreseeable, and I didnt need to have the protagonist 'explain' everything to me at the end.
I didn't believe that the characters would have behaved as they did, and that their back stories (event the more well developed) were flimsy.
As someone who has worked in mental health services, and had some mental health issues, I found the management of mental health insulting. It was the kind of characterisation Id expect from a tabloid newspaper, not an author who, I assume, did some research. The excessive focus on vulnerability and threat was lazy, and the discussions surrounding more serious diagnoses were, frankly, unacceptable for a modern author.
Such as shame, more critical handling of the storyline could have made it something worth listening to.

Disappointing - hackneyed and irritating
