About this listen

SHE INVITED HIM IN, NOW SHE CAN’T GET HIM OUT . . .

The most addictive psychological thriller you’ll hear this summer.

Donna is so ready to start her new life. But the nightmare has only just begun.

Donna’s had enough of her dead-end job in Chicago, her unhappy family life, and total lack of boyfriend. Then her grandmother leaves her this perfect turquoise-blue bungalow in the California hills. Things are finally looking up.

And now she’s found the perfect roommate to help pay the bills. Joshua keeps the fridge stocked with delicious fresh food, they watch cooking shows together and stay up late sharing their deepest secrets. He’s not just a roommate, he’s a friend, and soon Donna can’t imagine life without him.

But Donna can’t stop the doubts creeping in. Where did he get that key to the side door? And what are the strange sounds coming from his room?

Then Donna brings home her new boyfriend, and things start to spiral out of control.

Her perfect roommate is about to become her worst nightmare.

A dark and twisty domestic thriller with an ending you won’t forget. Fans of Shari Lapena, Becca Day, Patricia MacDonald, Freida McFadden, Nicole Trope and Susanna Beard will not be able to put this book down.

“Dark, propulsive, and thrillingly unpredictable, The Roommate is a moody mind-bender of Southern California noir.”—Cassidy Lucas, author of Santa Monica and The Last Party

“Relentlessly tense and unsettling, The Roommate is a novel as dark as it is addictive.”—Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot

“The Roommate is like nothing I’ve read before. I could not put it down.”—Julia Fine, author of The Upstairs House

I wasn’t sure about this book and expected it to be the same as the usual “room mate” books🤔 but it wasn’t and i was REALLY pleasantly surprised 🤗😁 the narration was SO good and really had me engrossed. Not sure if this is a debut but if so then WOW…. WONDERFUL AMAZING first book👏🏽💯😊 I highly recommend this, it’s very difficult to describe but i will just say it’s nothing like the boring predictable room mate books out there. There is lots more unusual details that get you really hooked 🤗 Thank you Caroline for an AMAZING story 🤗💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ♥️Thank you Aurelia for your OUTSTANDING narration 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️ Thank you audible for another WONDERFUL book🤗💯💯💯💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️♥️xxxx

I loved the The Roommate, the thrill and excitement of not knowing what the squatter was going to do next, it could so happen to anyone, I would have been frightened to go to sleep with him in the next room.

Thrilling & exciting
