This was such a creepy and thrilling read overall, I was hooked right away and I found myself not being able to put it down until I had devoured the whole book.

This was read by myself and my 14 year and in her words it’s amazing and I would read it again. It’s full of twists, secrets being revealed, and it kept me on my toes trying to guess what is going to happen, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Overall it’s a good read, I recommend anyone into books in this genre, or similar to it to read The Man In My Attic. Daughter said it was one of the best books she has ever read 4.5 stars. She enjoyed the regular switching of which characters POV we were reading through.

Fast paced, short chapters that end on a cliff hanger each time which keeps you wanting to read on to find out more.
I do think some parts are a bit far fetched and it all gets wrapped up a bit too quickly but I didn’t see the twists coming.
Overall a good, gripping psychological thriller.

Thank god I don't have an attic, because if I did, I'd be scared to go up there now. Thanks a lot, Robin Mahle, and thanks a lot for ruining my sleep.
It was totally worth it ;)

Creepy!! It will make you think twice when you hear unexplained noises in your house!
The beginning dragged on a but, but once it picked up, it was a thrill ride.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for access to this eARC.

The Man in My Attic is a gripping psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story revolves around a family who moves into their dream home, only to discover that their new house harbours dark secrets. Lauren is grappling with a strained marriage and unsettling occurrences, is forced to confront the terrifying reality that someone is living in their attic.

Mahle masterfully builds suspense, with each creak and misplaced item adding to the tension. The characters are well developed especially Lauren's growing paranoia and fear. The twist involving the imaginary friend, Billy chilling and unexpected.

The novel’s pacing is excellent, with a blend of slow-building dread and sudden, shocking moments. An intricate plot and the final twist leave a lasting impact

This was my first time reading anything by this author. The beginning of the story was slow and I did have to push through however once it got to the middle, boy, did it pick up. It was a great storyline with lots of suspense and twists along the way. It left me with goose bumps and I can wait to read more from this author

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!

WOW! What a great book! This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Had me guessing! That plot twist got me! lol what a great read!

This was a quick and easy read for me

Really enjoyed it. Thank you for the opportunity to review. I would recommend to others

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc. I enjoyed this one, I enjoy any book with the idea that someone could be living in your house and you not know it! It was a crazy ride to go on with Lauren and her family, as she tried to figure out if her son's new friend, Billy, was imaginary or real. Loved the multiple POVs, and I was on edge waiting to see what the finale would be. Astonishing twist at the end!

I'm rating this closer to a 4.5 rather than a 4.
This was such a great book!
It started off a little slow for me, but picked up quickly. Without spoiling, the entire premise is one of my worst paranoid fears haha.
The Man in my Attic has multiple POVs and a twist that I didn't see coming at all.

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for sending me a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What makes this domestic thriller so unique is that you go into it with a pretty clear idea of what's happening. There is a man hiding in the family's attic and you know who it is and what he's already done. You know what secrets the husband and wife have been hiding from one another. Their little boy tells them about "Billy," his friend in the walls. It's just a matter of waiting to see what will finally happen. It's fast paced and suspenseful. If I have any complaint it's that there are SO many characters telling the story. I found myself flipping back to see whose point of view I was reading.

Special thank you to NetGalley, Robin Mahle and Joffe Books for an ARC of this incredible book.

Words to describe this book: Creepy, chilling and unique.

I like how the author chose to tell the story from various characters perspectives. The book itself is fast-paced and a definite page turner. Highly recommend!

This is one of those books where the concept is so delicate that the execution could make or break it. Thankfully, though, Mahle sticks the landing. There is a reveal or two that made my suspension of disbelief bridge creak a bit, but overall, a good read (pun not intended).

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Man in My Attic by Robin Mahle is a busy psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping ending. And by busy I mean BUSY! This book is like a roller-coaster! There is so much happening!

For me this storyline was original! I never cross anything like this. From time to time I was distracted from the original storyline by side storylines... that was sort of necessary but not really. So this is where I was losing my focus.

I definitely didn't see that last twist coming! At the same time, something didn't work for me in the end. I believe if this book were cut down and concentrated on the main storyline I would scream 5 stars. All the side stories just took away that heart-pounding suspense.

This story is told from multiple POVs and it's easier to understand each character's intentions and thought process. I would say this book is definitely fast-paced and quick read!

Lauren and Jacob got her dream house, renovated it and was ready to spend their life together there.
One day their son Noah tells them that he has a friend Billy who lives in the house. Noah explained that he came up with a name so Lauren doesn't take it seriously as every little one has an imaginary friend! But then strange noises around and things that Noah delivers from Billy make everyone question what is going on!

Thank you, NetGalley and Joffe Books for this copy!

I found the premise of this book to be interesting. I think the main issue with this book was that the characters were very unlikable. I also found myself getting bored very early on. This made me not care much about what was going to happen in the end. I would love to try another book by this author in the future.

Oh my goodness, what a book. It was creepy, chilling and thrilling. Right from the start I was hooked, couldn't put it down. A new author who has made a big impression on me. Hope there is more to come. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I really felt emotionally connected to the main characters. That said, I think the story was dragged out and then quickly wrapped up at the end. I found myself wanting the story to "get to the point." The twist was very unexpected, but in a good way. Although I wish that the twist was more "world shattering," than it was. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves phycological thrillers.

This was definitely a jaw dropping thriller that keeps you wanting to turn the pages. The idea that someone could be living in your attic is just creepy within itself. Then you add the warped ideas that the killer had to justify his killings is just crazy. The characters are well written and the multiple POVs make them even more relatable and made the book more enjoyable in my opinion. I was feeling for Lauren and her son, Noah throughout the whole story. I found myself wanting her to just man up and do something about her husband Jacob. I will state that the multiple twists that came out at the end were crazy and I honestly didn't see them coming. It has been so long that I have read a thriller that actually shocked me in the end, but this one did it!

If you like thrillers, you will want to get a copy of this book as soon as it publishes in August 2024.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for an ARC in return for an honest review.

The prologue was incredibly gripping! It was one of those that made you excited for what was to come and the book didn't disappoint. The tension was on point and the various character POVs were well written. It was a creepy read!
