Reviews for The House Mate

[gi · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

To say the ending is disappointing is an understatement. It’s almost as if the author decided they no longer gave a hoot and picked an ending/plot twist from a fishbowl.

[Rebecca Wulff · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book was really great until the end. I was actually going back to see if I missed some chapters because I couldn't figure out HOW it had gone from one scenario (apparently) just in her head, to what had actually happened. It made absolutely no sense and there was not a "smooth" transition from the story of Regi to the true story of Meg.

[Rachael Benson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Really enjoyed it and was keen to get to the end for the plot but unfortunately it was quite a disappointing end that didn’t align with the story.

It was excellent up until the end, it made absolutely no sense, even after going back . I was very disappointed as I was waiting for this amazing twist, it had potential to have a better ending

[Erin Van der Vyver · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Pretty gripping listening with a good twist at the end.

[CJ DiOrio · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The ending ruined this book and I don’t know if I would invest to be so puzzled at the end

[Leah Barton Tew · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Preposterous ending that leaves the plot full of holes. Don’t bother with this one unless you’re looking for a book designed to insult your intelligence. My first and last from this author.

I enjoyed this book, had figured out Mrs. Clean but even more of a twist at the end.
