An entertaining read. Definitely a page turner - I love psychological thrillers. Like others have said I don‘t really know what happened at the end, but a pick nonetheless.

Suet624 This one is in my pile of books just waiting for me to grab it. 2w
sarahbarnes @Suet624 If it wasn‘t I‘d offer to send you mine. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it! 1w

I forgot to review this. I listened to the audiobook mostly, but needed the physical book to read the ending to find out what I missed/misunderstood listening. But guess what? I still have no clue what actually happened at the end. I don‘t need a neat and tidy ending but I also don‘t love it when I feel like I‘ve missed something. This seems to be purposeful. Still, I enjoyed this propulsive and quick read. I was anxious throughout!

AudiobookingWithLeah Yeah, I think I relistened to the end twice. It was definitely disappointing. 1mo

Hmm. So I liked this and I was really invested but after that very unresolved ending, I have SO MANY questions 😂😅🫣 @BarbaraBB I bought this one based on your review so, I‘ve made a new hashtag: #blameitonbarbara 😀😂

julesG Nice # 2mo
CBee @julesG thanks! 😂 2mo
BarbaraBB Lol, that‘s a first, being a # 🤣🤣. But I know what you mean, that‘s ending was so frustrating! 2mo

julesG @BarbaraBB Frustrating yes, but also good. Sometimes an open ending is better than everything wrapped up nicely with a bow. 😉 2mo
BarbaraBB @julesG Yes! That‘s why I loved it too. It left me with all the feelings! 2mo
CBee @BarbaraBB I can think of other times that hashtag would‘ve come in handy! Many books I‘ve read thanks to you 😊 2mo
CBee @julesG the more I think about it, the more I‘m okay with it. At first I was all how dare she end it like that 😂😂 2mo
BarbaraBB What goes around comes around 💕 2mo
CBee @BarbaraBB ♥️♥️♥️ 1mo

#Read2025 #JumpStart2025

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 ⬇️

DebinHawaii … watch. 😱🫣 A quick read & be warned there are some triggers. I don‘t want to mention them because I think the discovery of them with the MC add to the creepy horror vibe, but you‘ll see them if you look at Goodreads reviews. The ending is ambiguous which isn‘t always my favorite but I think it works in this one.

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.

BarbaraBB I loved that book and love your 🐶 3mo

BarbaraBB @DebinHawaii It‘s short. I hope you‘ll get to it 3mo
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes both are good and I think most would prefer Blue Sisters but I prefer The Night Guest. Interesting to learn what you‘ll think of both. 3mo
Suet624 Wow. Night Guest just snuck right in there as the winner! 3mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 It‘s short and refreshingly different from my usual reads! 3mo
CBee I ordered The Night Guest based on your review! 3mo

Iōunn‘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.

Megabooks 💯💯💯 agree! Glad you loved it, too. Very thought-provoking. 3mo
jhod Sounds great and wonderful scenery! 3mo
sarahbarnes Ohhh, great review! Can‘t wait to read this one! 3mo

julesG I really loved this. It's among my favourite books in '24 3mo
Hooked_on_books Oooo, that sounds interesting! 3mo
BarbaraBB @julesG I am going to add it to my #Top24of24 too! (edited) 3mo
BarbaraBB @jhod @sarahbarnes @Hooked_on_books It‘s refreshingly different from the books I‘ve been reading lately. The setting in Iceland adds to that probably! 3mo
