ABOUT THE BOOK:
Jane stumbles on the rental opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to live in a beautiful ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect, on condition she abides by a long list of exacting rules. After moving in, she discovers that a previous tenant, Emma, met a mysterious death there - and starts to wonder if her own story will be a re-run of the girl before. As twist after twist catches the reader off guard, Emma's past and Jane's present become inexorably entwined in this tense, page-turning portrayal of psychological obsession.
MY REVIEW:
I really enjoyed this book and thought it was well written from the alternating perspectives of 2 characters running parallel to one another.
I've seen so many people compare this book to other books - 50 shades series, Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train... - but I personally enjoyed it for itself.
I know that J.P. Delaney is an established author under another pen name, and this book being the 'debut' under the J.P. Delaney name, which I find interesting.
Overall a very enjoyable read.

Off in the mail to Canada as a Tag It Forward for the Wishlist Tag Game.
This one came back to me in the mail today as a return to sender almost a year after I mailed it. Will find it a new home.
I just noticed that I did not follow up with a journal entry after receiving the book.
A very nice thriller with some unexpected plot twists. I enjoyed it very much. Grateful for the chance to read this one, which was not initially meant for me. Now it is ready to go its intended reader... HoserLauren.
