From Little Stack

This book completely took over my life! It seemed to occupy my every waking thought.

When Jules and Scott take in a lodger to help make a little extra cash, it seemed finding Orla was meant to be. She fitted effortlessly into their lives and their routine, and it seemed she was perfect… until she wasn’t. Dramatic, charismatic and always craving attention, Orla slowly dominates their lives, their space, their friendships, and Jules learns Orla’s stories don’t add up… 

This book has unease and tension laced through a plot you’ll become utterly obsessed with. Chilling, definitely unhinged and impossible to put down!

Publisher Description
You invited her in. That was your first mistake.

Jules and Scott are a young couple living on the outskirts of London. When the charming and charismatic Orla sweeps into their lives, inviting her to house-share seems like the answer to all their problems: she needs a home, they could do with the money.

But once Orla moves in, Jules starts to feel uncomfortable. Whatever the occasion, Orla has to be centre-stage. Every social occasion, every outing, every get-together is dominated by her and her daily dramas. But on closer inspection, Orla's stories just don't add up. And Jules starts to suspect that their dream housemate might be about to turn their lives into a nightmare.

I love to explore ideas that involve normal, everyday people, who are somehow transported into tension-fuelled, complex scenarios.
