Lisa, a troubled young woman with a past, can’t believe her luck when she finds a beautiful room to rent in a large house. The live-in owners are a kind and welcoming couple. Everything is fine until she finds a suicide note hidden in her room. But when the couple insist this man didn’t exist and that Lisa is their first tenant, Lisa begins to doubt herself.
Compelled to undercover the secrets of the man who lived in the room before her, Lisa is alarmed when increasingly disturbing incidents start to happen. Someone doesn’t want Lisa to find out the truth.
Immediately upon viewing the spare room in the Victorian home, Lisa felt an ominous energy about the home and the owners. Yet for some inexplicable reason, she was determined to have the room. Even when weird things started happening and people were literally telling her to move out, she refused. Nobody was keeping her in this bad situation except for herself. It felt like she was trying to make a point that nobody else, including me, cared about. It didn't help that her arguments were logically confusing to me and felt like reaches.
Furthermore, the owners were portrayed comically evil, none of the characters seemed real, the ending was cheesy, and overall the writing wasn't great. I would have DNFed if it wasn't for this being a buddy read!
