Room 21 is a spine tingling physcological thriller that gets the spider senses on alert. I loved the dogs especially the smart well behaved muffin. A housekeeper is asked to work at a hotel but she can't tell anyone. I had a million questions and I had no idea where the author was leading with it but I just had to find out. It kept me on my toes and alert for danger and in the end it wholly satisfied my curiosity.

Release date set for the 27th of May 2025.
5 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨s.
This is my second time ARC reading for Jessica and let me tell you this one is a hell of a ride.
Jaw dropping, mysterious, edge of your seat and a perfect Psychological thriller suspense.
I really liked kimberley and I just adored Muffin.
I was hoping for an early night lastnight and thought I'd read a few chapters. Nope. That didn't work out for me. I ended up reading till the early hours and then finished the book off this morning.
Brilliant book and looking forward to my next Jessica Huntley book.

This really is a dark and twisty thriller. Kimberley is approached in the hotel she works for by a strange woman who offers her a job at her father's hotel. There are things to be signed before she starts the job there. She learns that all the guests there all have their dark little secrets that she must keep quiet about and room 21 is off limits. As things unfold before her eyes and with a bombshell from Jennifer things build up to a deadly climax. I would recommend if you like thriller books.

I have read several of Jessica's books, and this one definitely had a much darker theme than most. It was still really good! I will say that at first, I was a little unsure of how I would like it. But it ended up being really good! It had a lot of twists and turns that I wasn't expecting, and definitely kept me guessing. I think other readers (that are ok with dark themes) will enjoy it!

“Room 21” by Jessica Huntley is a dark, twisted psychological thriller that completely blew my mind. The author’s writing style kept me on edge the entire time—tense, sharp, and full of suspense. Just when I thought I had things figured out, another shocking twist hit. I also loved the inclusion of a service dog in the story—and was so relieved nothing bad happens to her! This one kept me hooked from start to finish.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT!! It was sooo absolutely addictive!!… OMG! I was absolutely hooked throughout an absolute rollercoaster ride! I had no idea who to trust and what was going on until the explosive ending! MASSIVE WELL DONE!

I just could not put it down which ended up with me devouring it in one sitting! It was a fantastic explosive page-turner!!

I loved the characters of Kimberly and Muffin and one the themes explored in this book was epilepsy and the author did a great job in making it as real life as possible that in itself was an intriguing read!

A massive ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!

Kimberley, a twenty-five-year-old with epilepsy and a seizure alert dog, gets a dream job as a senior housekeeper in a top hotel in the Scottish Highlands. However, she is given a warning not to open the door to Room 21. Despite her curiosity, she tries to abide by the rule. But as she navigates the unsettling guests and mysterious staff, she finds herself drawn to the forbidden room. What she discovers inside leads her into a nightmare she never could have imagined.

As soon as I laid eyes on Jessica's book, I knew I had to get my hands on it. Sure, I have a stack of ARCs waiting for me, but when your favorite author drops a new release, you know you're in for a wild ride!

The protagonist, Kimberley, is a laid-back and lovable character with a difficult past. I mean, come on, she even has a border collie named Muffin - my favorite breed! Kimberley's character development is slow and steady, with some potential triggers along the way, so proceed with caution.
The story unfolds through two timelines, one following Emily and the other following Kimberley. At first, you'll be scratching your head wondering why, but trust me, it all comes together beautifully. The setting is claustrophobic, isolated, and downright chilling. It adds an extra layer of suspense to the already gripping storyline, sending shivers down your spine.

With twists and turns galore, this book kept me on the edge of my seat. And let me tell you, the main twist? I never saw it coming, even if I tried. This read was so engrossing, I couldn't bear to put it down. And don't even get me started on that jaw-dropping ending!

If you're into unraveling family secrets, navigating a room full of killers in a secluded environment, and trying to guess the outcome, this book is must-read. This book is rich, clever, and extremely twisted! I can't wait for everyone to dive in and chat about how mind-blowingly good it is. Trust me, you're in for a treat! Enjoy!

Thank you, Joffe Books, for the digital ARC copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
