I finished this one last week but hadn‘t reviewed it yet. I got it from the library based on the cover & description & made it a January #Roll100 pick (# 62 Any Library Book). (I also saw @BarbaraBB really liked it-always a plus!) So yeah, this book is both very dark & very good. Creepy, set at night & in Iceland where a young woman is exhausted & finds out she‘s sleepwalking to the tune of 40,000 steps on her smart ⬇️
Casey and I agree THE NIGHT GUEST is some damned good creepy shit. I started it before bed last night (which, yeah, was a CHOICE), read until I was too tired to carry on, and finished it over breakfast this morning.
#WeeklyFavorites
All my books were strange and good this week, love that. This one is my favorite though, I even added it to my #Top24of24 list!
pickIōunn‘s story pulled me in from the first page and didn‘t let go until I finished it some hours later.
Iōunn wakes up exhausted every morning. She has no idea what causes this until her fancy new pedometer watch reveals that she‘s walking over forty thousand steps at night. From there things start spiraling in her life which seems so ordinary but isn‘t.
I am not sure about the ending but I loved this contemporary and atmospheric creepy story.

pickHoly shirtballs 😱 😱 😱
I read this in one sitting. The growing tension and pacing are so well crafted. Frustration at the treatment of women by the medical establishment turns into creeping unease as you learn more and more (but never everything) about what is happening. So so good.
pickI see this book reviewed here and noticed that either I didn't review it here or my review never "aired" back in September.
Anyway, I absolutely loved it. The translation and narration by Mary Robinette-Kowal are excellent.
It's creepy and atmospheric and I still wonder what the end was about.
pickMy email to @BarbaraBB about this book when I finished it last night:
1. The English translation is really well done.
2. The use of negative space was incredible.
3. The suspense was superb.
4. I didn‘t get the ending at all.
