Thank you to the author for the ARC
This book doesn’t ease you in. It grabs you and drags you in by the throat.
There’s no gentle introduction, no sense of comfort, no moment where you feel safe enough to settle. From the very first page, you know something's wrong.
Not in a loud way, but in a subtle, quietly suffocating way where your instincts are screaming before your brain can catch up.
You’re immediately on edge. And it never, ever lets you relax.
I was side-eyeing everyone. Not just the people, but the the floors, the air vents, the walls. Especially the walls.
I trusted no one.
You know that feeling when you’re home alone at 3am, and the silence gets a bit too deep? When you hear a noise and your body goes cold but you don't even know why, and suddenly you’re convinced something is standing just out of sight and you're about to be axe murdered?
That’s this book.
Even though I was reading this in the middle of the day, I felt creeped out. At one point I wanted to get up and make a cup of tea, but the thought of walking through the house to the kitchen had me like, “oh hell naw.”
That’s how deep the unease gets. There's this creeping presence that burrows into your everyday life and refuses to leave. It follows you out of the pages and into your own space where it turns the familiar into something questionable. Like you're walking up the stairs and glancing over your shoulder, expecting something to be standing at the bottom.
While I was reading, I could hear my cat wandering around. And every creak of the floorboards had me on edge. A book has never fucked me up this badly.
It’s not jump-scare horror. It’s worse. It gets under your skin instead of jumping out at you. It’s the kind that seeps into you slowly, until you realise you’ve been holding your breath for pages at a time, afraid that if you “exist” too loudly, something might notice.
There’s this constant, crawling sense that the building itself is wrong. Not haunted in a way you can name. Not possessed in any familiar sense. Just… wrong. Like reality inside it has slipped a few inches out of place.
That line stuck with me. Because that’s exactly what it feels like. The building isn’t just a setting. It’s communicating. Not clearly. Not kindly. But it's saying something.
A long time ago I worked in a hotel. It was old, grand, and super unsettling. I don't believe in ghosts, but there were rooms no one liked entering alone. Corridors that felt heavier than others. Places where your pace would quicken without you meaning to, like your body knew something your mind didn’t.
This book captures that exact feeling.
Reality feels fragile here, like it could splinter at any moment.
It’s a slow burn, but not in a gentle way. It’s the kind where the heat builds so gradually you don’t realise you’re in danger, until suddenly everything's burning and there’s no way out.

Thank you for the ARC of this thriller.
At the beginning I thought, how very mentally disturbed is the maintenance man? Oh so much more than that. At times you even question yourself with the subtle nuances written into scenes.
All the tools used to psychologically manipulate the residents in the Apartment block are used in to pull you into the story. Like watching a psychological thriller horror movie unfold.

Is that real...
This story is one that I think many people could have, in the beginning, with that being "Did I remember that right?, What really happened?". After that, this story goes off the rails with What The Heck!! It kept me glued to it, wondering what is really going on, what really happened, and what is happening now? I mean, really, it is just one woman's apartment...
This is for people of many walks of life, and anyone who loves a great story that has alot of questions that lead to one thing, kind of.
Thank you, M. P. March, for a great story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my honest review.

This book grabbed me right away. The setting – a small apartment, lights flickering and going out, storm outside and her daughter saying the building is talking. Clara and her daughter move here after her husband passes away. This is their new start but it’s kind of creepy. There blood and a death and missing time on the surveillance camera of the building. And the maintenance man spying – wow! That’s all I can say.

This was an intense psychological thriller with some nail-biting moments. The story is fast-paced and the characters are interesting. I liked Clara and her motivation to find the truth. Her new found friend, Heather also added a nice touch to the story.
