The Apartment

This book introduces us to Freya and her daughter Skye, who are ready for a fresh new start when they are approached by a stranger offering a great deal on an apartment. The timing is perfect, so you know something more sinister is taking place.

She keeps feeling like she is being constantly watched and followed, but just brushes these feelings off. Odd things start happening, both at Skye's new school and around the apartment.

She meets a construction worker who tells her another single mother used to live in the same apartment and commited suicide, but of course this is no accident. The owners deny it, but she does her own detective work and discovers the awful truth.

This book had the potential to be really scary, but just fell flat as far as suspense. I kept thinking to myself, this better not be about vampires, but let's just say it is about a bunch of mad scientists, literally. I was, however, surprised by who was in charge of the whole operation and why their family got picked to live there.
