I received The Night Guest as a #netgalleyarc and enjoyed it.  The frivolous pink cover seems almost like a joke when you read the book.  The layout with extremely short chapters, including one with one sentence, seemed like a space filler.  I didn't like that.  And the story itself ends at 90% which I don't like either.  Although the ending is odd and the main character could have made better decisions to help herself,  the story was somewhat predictable and I was entertained.  It was eerie, kinda creepy, raunchy at times, and fun.  Definitely unique.  I especially liked the commentary about how female concerns are never taken seriously and females are expected to make others comfortable.  I can relate.
