The Roommate

By: Kiersten Modglin

Narrated by: Stephen Graybill

Wesley Gates is down on his luck. He's drowning in debt. His demanding career isn't letting up. And, to top it all off, after years of ignoring their failing marriage, his wife has had enough.

Heartbroken and in desperate need of a place to stay while he gives his wife the space she's asked for, Wes is shocked when he runs into a familiar face from his past. As they catch up, Wes can't help feeling grateful to spend time with someone who remembers who he was during their glory days, long before his life fell apart. So, when Elias offers to rent out his spare bedroom, it seems like the answer to all Wes' problems. Wes takes his old friend up on the offer without hesitation.

But soon, Wes realizes moving in with Elias may have been a mistake. Between the wild mood swings, strange occurrences, and total disregard for his new roommate's privacy, Wes begins to wonder if Elias will be his savior or his worst nightmare.

When his wife reveals devastating news that destroys the final bit of shaky ground Wes was standing on, his new roommate may be all he has left.

Maybe that's what Elias wanted in the first place.... Or maybe it's all in Wes' head.

Contains mature themes.

predictable

too predictable and aggravating. no real twists and you knew what was coming. OK at best.

Loved this title

This story was good. Your first instincts may be right but it does not take away from the story itself. You’ll still enjoy it. All characters were a pain in the behind in their own way.

amazing

this is a MUST listen. great story and amazing ending. can't believe it was included with membership.

The perfect amount of twisted

Totally loved this psychological thriller. Keeps you on the edge of your seat with unexpected twists and turns till the very end.

Meh.

So I throughly enjoyed Kiersten’s “The Arrangement” and decided I’d give her other works a try. This book was very slow, which is okay. I was just bored and hoped something would grab my attention at some point. The ending was crazy though lol. It wasn’t something I was expecting, even though it caught me by surprise it wasn’t able to redeem the rest of the book for me.
I still look forward to reading her other works.
