An excellent read.
Hayley and Ethan move into Palace Gardens, they feel their luck has finally changed. No more run-down flats in dodgy areas. But behind the exterior of this beautiful Victorian house, things are less than picture-perfect, and the tight-knit community is unwelcoming.
When Hayley befriends the woman next door, no-one is pleased. Least of all the man from upstairs. The one who watches them all from behind his window. Then they receive an invite for a New Year's Eve party.
I loved this book from starting to ending. I loved it's characters and narration.
Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for giving me an advance copy.

This book is so dark and edgy it will have you up all night because you won’t want to put it down. Truly gripping and wonderfully written

New Year’s Eve by K G Murray
Hayley and Ethan are the latest residents at Palace Gardens a beautiful Victorian house divided into apartments. The other residents have been here for quite a while. Hayley works as a music teacher and is at home for long periods of time. She soon spots that the neighbours are all linked by a cult like belief that they all help each other even when crimes have been committed. Joining the cult begins with an intonation to the group. Hayley gets bullied into the initiation but realises it is too creepy for words. The New Year’s party brings everything to a violent conclusion and truths are revealed.
Hayley finds that the Palace Gardens will always have a hold on her even when she leaves on her own. Ethan also moves on after lying to her and using violence and subterfuge to take matters into his own hands.
This is an amazing read, I couldn’t put it down. It is atmospheric and disturbing and makes you think about every character and their motives. This author is one to watch as he is getting better and better.

Hayley and Ethan move in to the decadent apartment block, Palace Gardens, in a hope to move up in status.
Ethan starts to become distanced, while Hayley finds herself investigating what everyone in the building is hiding from her, or is it just her low status and a bit of paranoia?

This is a gripping novel that you will be glad to have read

An absolutely downright creepy thriller. I loved this and literally couldn't put this book down. It is one of those rare books that you think about throughout the day and look forward to diving back in. Full of mystery and shocks. An absolutely brilliant psychological thriller xx

I really enjoyed this!

I loved how the reader was off balance and on the back foot from the very first page. This feeling lasted for the entire first half of the book. I started to piece things together around 60% and I got a little bit right, a little bit wrong and missed another bit entirely :)

The characters are all three dimensional and authentic.

The plot manages to be both compact and intricate which is a triumph in itself.

I really enjoyed how location was used in a multitude of ways to provoke emotion.

A really well constructed thriller.
