Absolutely loved this book.
Freya and her 5 year old daughter Skye are having to look for somewhere to live on quite a tight budget following the death of her husband.
A chance encounter in a coffee shop.with a landlord looking for a prospective tenant leads Freya to Adder house, a complex which is way out of her league. However the property owner, Dr Marsden goes out of his way to enable Freya to move in. However the saying ' if it seems too good to be true it probably is ' seems to become a reality.
This book was a really easy read with twists and turns that kept me guessing and I would never have predicted the ending. Highly recommend.

Slater is fierce and ferocious! This book kept me guessing the whole way through - offering plenty of suspenseful twists and turns. This one is not for the feint of heart!

Freya lost everything after her husband so maliciously betrayed her. Losing her home, she wonders where she can possibly go. After accepting an offer for a very, very affordable apartment from a handsome doctor. . she begins to wonder if some things really are too good to be true.

Great book! Deliciously twisty and a delight for psychological thriller fans everywhere! Slater certainly thrills and delights.

The story hinges on the consequences of implausibly naïve Freya’s decision to accept a generous stranger’s offer to live in his luxury Kensington apartment for peppercorn rent. Elements of the writing contributed at times to an eerie atmosphere, but this was often spoilt by banal dialogue or prosaic explanations from the main protagonist. The book is a short read so easy to finish. Ultimately however, it fell rather flat and the ending was disappointing.

I love this kind of writing in psychological thrillers; from the start, you sense something is a little off, but like the protagonist, you can't put your finger on just what it is. This book was so well-paced, in fact, that I read it in nearly one sitting.

The one thing that nagged me throughout, especially at the end, was that the plot strongly resembled another thriller that came out last year. Having already read that one, many of the twists weren't surprising at all. I had really high hopes that this one would turn out differently, so I was a little disappointed.

The start of this book has me hooked. In the end it left me with questions and I did not get that "wow" feeling I get from a great book. The ending felt flat for me. This book sort of reminded me of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. I kept waiting for something big to happen...but alas. It was a good quick read though. Definitely not sorry I read it.

I always enjoy KL Slater’s books, and The Apartment is another great read.
When Freya and her five year old daughter are given the opportunity to move into a beautiful apartment in Adder House in central London at a affordable rent, it sounds too good to be true... Could it be the break that they need, given what has happened to them in recent times? Or will it just add to their misfortune?
The Apartment is such a good book, it is utterly creepy and it had me guessing as to which characters were going to be friends or foes to Freya and her daughter and constantly changing my mind throughout the book! Well done Kim Slater! Another great book!
Thanks to NetGalley for a Kindle copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I read a lot of books from this genre and what I liked about this was I couldn’t guess where the story was going! Quite an easy read which is good in these strangest of times.

This is such a creepy tale that will keep you jittery long after you’ve switched off your bedside lamp. The apartment was too good an offer to refuse for Freya Miller but as they say, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Her husband’s betrayal has led to her losing their family home and she urgently needs to put a roof over her and her daughter Skye’s heads. Dr Marsden seems to be the answer to her prayers offering a low priced apartment in a beautiful area of London. She is suspicious from the off but really can’t look a gift horse in the mouth so she accepts but all too soon her suspicions prove to be correct.
I really enjoyed this read. Once she took up in her new place of residence the eeriness continues right up until the end. I closed the book a number of times to shake off the horrible sense of fear I felt for Freya. It was a very good thriller and kept me guessing up until the end.

Ohmygosh!! I enjoyed this book so much I finished it in one day! I was hooked from the beginning and stayed engaged all the way through.

Talk about an offer you can’t refuse. A single mother in financial distress is offered a low cost luxury apartment for herself and her 6 year old daughter. Then strange things begin to happen. What is it about Adder House and it’s strange residents? Why are Freya and little Skye suddenly beset by perilous happenings? Read K.L. Slater’s thriller to find out what is behind Freya and Skye’s ordeal and if they will survive unscathed. Fast paced and exciting this is an entertaining read!

The Apartment by K.L. Slater is a psychological thriller that, while predictable, is a thoroughly interesting book. I have read a number of Slater's other books and put this one about a half a star below the others for the lack of plot surprise. Otherwise, it was engaging, well written, and I generally liked the main characters. I may have enjoyed it more if the main character were a little more developed. Altogether, an entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley, Amazon Publishing UK and the Author, K.L. Slater for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
What a thrilling and chilling read.
A definite page turner that almost reminded me of a version of Rosemary's baby in a way.
Once i started it I couldn't put it down.
Oh and a bonus that the main protagonist wore my favorite perfume, Angel by Thierry Mugler!

Freya is making lots of changes to her life and her daughter’s. She has found a new apartment in the other side of town that is too nice to resist. The story is well faced and attention grabbing. However the ending is a bit weak and doesn’t tie in as well as I think it should have. It felt luck a rush to the ending .

This book was so easy to read. I really enjoyed the quick pace and straightforward writing and managed to finish the book in two days. The characters were all generally interesting with some interesting bits of backstory, but the actual course of events and how they reacted to what happened didn’t make much sense to me. I was confused by how the ending unfolded and how basically every character who acted evil ended up just being a weird pawn in one character’s scheme, and none of it came together with enough substance to really make it work. So for me, it’s a 3 ⭐️ read.

2.5 Stars

I really, truly wanted to love this book, but I was a bit underwhelmed.

All of the elements are there. A widowed mother and her daughter being given an opportunity that's all too good to be true. They're offered to live in a gorgeous apartment that they can't afford, while the mom, Freya, gets back on her feet. Strange things start happening and she starts to question her sanity.

Any who, this is my kind of novel, I want creepy, crawly, bizarre happenings, but the wallop that I was expecting wasn't there.

I will definitely check out K.L. Slater's next release.

Thank you to NetGalley, Amazon UK Publishing, and K.L. Slater for providing me with an ARC.

Pretty good, fast paced book. I enjoyed reading it, but the end kind of fizzled out there. Still enjoyable, would recommend it.

This book is fast paced and sucks you right in. I want to know what was going on right from the beginning. You get a lot of red flags right off the bat yet the main character still seems half clueless. This book definitely keeps you wanting more and the main characters, Freya and Skye are extremely likable. However, the roles of some of the other characters seem not plausible. Still, an interesting and suspenseful read. Thank you Netgalley and Amazon publishing UK.

Wow this was a creepy book! At one point I wasn’t trusting anyone. I enjoyed it and found it hard to put down. I received this from Net Galley for an honest review. 4 stars

The story was fine. The problem is I was bored. I thought the characters weren't very interesting, and the narrative a little predictable, Worst of all, I hate when a story plays with the idea that something supernatural is happening when it is VERY obvious it isn't actually supernatural.

The old adage if something is too good to be true, it probably is, would be fitting for this story. K.L. Slater has written another thriller that fans will fly through in a day or two. The main character, Freya and her young daughter, Skye, are gifted with a magnificent place to live in an exclusive area in London by a generous offer from a stranger. Would you be willing to take it if everything seemed in order? That is the decision Freya grapples with and ultimately agrees to. What seems idyllic at first has Freya questioning her decision.

Even though this was a quick read with a couple of twists I didn't see, the story was one I expected a bit more from. Having finished a previous title by the author for a future publication, I was excited for this one, but ultimately thought it could have used a couple more character details and explanations. If you are a fan of K.L. Slater, I would read it. The author still manages to write a story that will capture your attention.
This title is due for publication on April 28.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #AmazonPublishing for the opportunity to review this title before publication.
