I can see that I am the odd one out when skimming through others' reviews, but I do want to point out a major error I am seeing. Many reviewers are upset that "this book is NOT a horror," and I am left thinking...well, yeah, duh. In the blurb's first line, it states that it is a thriller. In fact, I think there is an argument to be had that this is a mystery thriller. To give this book 1 star because you went in weirdly expecting a different genre, that does seem odd to me.

Speaking on the book, I enjoyed the main character's appreciation and numerous mentions of horror films--as she is a film buff and wants to go to college for film studies--and the classic trope of "don't open the door" was quite fun for me. I enjoyed solving the mystery that surrounds this thriller setting: who is the person our characters shouldn't have let into their home? The ending was a bit predictable/typical of thrillers, but I liked that there was one or two spins to the major reveal. It was a fun, very quick read!
