The Guest

By: Cathryn Grant

Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo

She told him to make himself at home. He did.

Life has been good to Ellie - she owns a successful art gallery, is deeply in love with her husband, Seth, and has two beautiful children, Brandon and Simone.

But not everything is perfect....

Lately, Seth seems to have something on his mind and has become cold and distant. And things don't improve when he invites mysterious stranger Ace to stay in their home.

Ace is charming, but Ellie can't help feeling there's more to him than meets the eye, that he has some kind of agenda. She's also aware that she is dangerously attracted to him.

Then a girl at Brandon's school is murdered, and Ellie is beyond devastated when the police tell her they think her son might be involved.

Ellie knows in her heart that Brandon is innocent and she feels certain that Ace is somehow connected to the disturbing things that are happening. She starts to dig for the truth and uncovers the terrible secret that will change her life in ways she can't imagine....

great story pace

really loved the pace as well as the twists and turns of this story. not what I expected, in the best way

Terrible Story

***spoiler***

It’s one thing to be a “strong woman,” but it’s another to be a strong woman who put others down and constantly nag and undermine your own husband. It also doesn’t stop there. It’s an okay story, kind of boring and it could get tiresome after the constant whining from beginning to the end of the story. I got through most of it while hiking, otherwise, I wouldn’t finish it.

A lot of twist and turns that are unexpected. Definitely worth the read.

Very wonderful mystery and thriller I wish there was a part two to this book or that it was longer. I feel like the story was left un finished.

The main character

The main character is just winey and annoying, I stuck it out but man it was a bit hard to get through.

Snob? Victim? Keeps you guessing

This book challenged me throughout. The main character is a strong and successful woman but also comes across as arrogant and snobby. Story keeps you guessing until the very end, which I enjoyed the most.
