The House Sitter by Keri Beevis

I absolutely devoured The House Sitter! Keri Beevis has nailed the perfect blend of suspense, mystery, and psychological tension. From the very first page, I was hooked by the eerie setup—our main character, fresh off a breakup, agrees to house-sit her brother’s swanky apartment. Seems like the perfect escape... until she sees something strange from the balcony during a summer blackout.

That moment was so creepy and cinematic—I could feel the heat, the darkness, the eerie silence—and when she spotted something unsettling in the penthouse across the way, I was just as captivated as she was. What follows is a tense unraveling of truth, lies, and danger that had me flipping pages late into the night.

One of the things I loved most was how real and relatable the narrator felt. She’s curious, a little impulsive, but determined to do the right thing, even when everyone’s telling her she’s wrong. The paranoia is so well done—I was constantly wondering who could be trusted. Every time I thought I had it figured out, Beevis threw in another curveball. And the final twist? Totally nailed it.

This book gave me Rear Window vibes with a modern, fresh twist. It’s got that perfect mix of voyeurism, mystery, and psychological tension that makes for such a compelling read. Plus, the writing is super engaging—not overly complex, but evocative and fast-paced.

If you love thrillers with unreliable witnesses, hidden secrets, and a constant sense of unease, The House Sitter needs to be on your radar!
