I really enjoyed this. Definitely a pick for me. This is a thriller that is not far from life. It is about a house that is effectively run by a computer. It controls EVERYTHING in the house. I liked that this started straight away with the family moving house. It explained signs that the computer could take control without being hacked. It have hints and I could see where the story could go but not the characters involved. I enjoyed it. #bookworm

I‘m a quarter of a way through this book and I‘m loving it! I‘m noticing things that I think will be important later and I‘m looking forward to seeing where it goes. #tbr #readersfirst #arc #bookworm #bookflatlay

This story is high intensity, without a moment of breathing space. It s full on from page one, and although that was a bit exhausting at times, I think overall it added to the stress-filled anxiety of the piece.

Recommended to lovers of modern sci-fi, and conspiracy theorists who enjoy scaring themselves about the impending robot takeover.

Oh my, this is a marvellous mix of a family drama, thriller and Sci-fi that has moments of heart pounding tension and Oh the tears too…..a clever plot, which I can‘t say much about for fear of spoiling it…….but if you like a claustrophobic thriller, this is a must read.

Wow what a dramatic story. The scary realism if our dependence on technology and the possibility of this happening one day makes this so much scarier. The story itself starts off slowly but once the action begins, it's so gripping. The ending was very clever too. I figured out some of the twists like who Katy was but others were so cleverly done. The writing is descriptive and builds up the plot very well. 4*
