Book Review: The Guests by Margot Hunt

⭐⭐⭐/5 Stars

Alright, let me tell you about this book I just finished reading called “The Guests” by Margot Hunt. If you're into lock room thrillers like I am, then this one is right up your alley!

Picture this: a Category 5 hurricane is about to hit this coastal Florida town, and the Davies family decides to hunker down in their fancy waterfront mansion. Smart move, right? They even invite their close friends and employees to join them and ride out the storm in style. Sounds cozy, doesn't it?

But here's where things get interesting – three total strangers show up on their doorstep just before the storm hits. Talk about bad timing! Bo, Jason, along with Bo's girlfriend Darcy, need shelter, and the Davies family, being the good Samaritans they are, welcome them in. Little did they know that these strangers would bring more drama than the hurricane itself.

As the storm rages outside, tensions start rising inside the house. It's like a pressure cooker. Family, friends, and strangers all start blurring together, and trust becomes a luxury nobody can afford. You know when people say “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”? Well, in this case, you won't even know who is who anymore.

“The Guests” is a fast-paced read that had me hooked from start to finish. Margot Hunt knows how to keep you on your toes. The writing is top-notch, and the plot twists just keep coming. Every time you think you've got it figured out, boom! Another secret is revealed, and you're left scratching your head.

What I loved about this book is how well the characters are developed. They feel real and relatable, which makes their interactions all the more intense. You'll find yourself suspecting everyone and questioning their motives. It's a psychological rollercoaster.

And let's talk about the atmosphere – it's so damn claustrophobic! The storm outside adds this extra layer of tension that keeps you on edge. You'll feel like you're right there with them, trapped in that house as the chaos unfolds.

In a nutshell, “The Guests” is a thrilling ride that will keep you glued to the pages. It's a perfect blend of suspense, mystery, and human nature under extreme circumstances. Trust me, once you start reading, you won't want to put it down. So buckle up and get ready for a wild adventure where nothing is as it seems and survival is the name of the game!
