About this listen

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.

Great Book!

I really like Kiersten Modglin and her writing style. This was another great book. Just when I think I have it figured out she throws in a twist on didn't see coming. Enjoyed the story and the narrator was good, but not my favorite. Didn't do much to change voices of the characters, but his voice was easy to listen to.

Very solid plot

This was a pretty solid read/listen. I very much enjoyed the story and the characters. The plot was solid, no loose ends and it was well paced! Like some reviews say it wasn’t exactly the most shocking book but there were a couple twist that I didn’t see and I don’t think every thriller has to be over the top complex. If you like simple but entertaining thrillers I’d definitely recommend. The voice performance was solid too once I got used to his voice and he did pretty good with the female voices as well. He wasn’t trying to hard and it flowed to me.

Riveting!

Excellent story and narration. Will listen to again at a later date, since I am sure I will forget how it ends.

Move over Freida…

Whew! This was a good read, full of twists and turns. I must say between Addison and Wesley, Addison irked me. I just couldn’t believe she was that naive. She wouldn’t listen to anything. I guess that’s what happens when ppl are truly fed up. I just don’t think she really knew how to use context clues…

Anyway, if you enjoy books full of adventure and not knowing what is going to happen next…this is it!

Great storyline!!

Trying to figure out the motive of Elias was most suspenseful!! Great narration and I could imagine what each character was like due to the great description given! Can’t wait for more!

meh

Narration was not the best. The story was predictable and I wanted to smack most of the characters for their stupidity. A mom that lets her 14 year old daughter date a guy she met online and wanting a divorce because her husband has to work? The "bad" guy being so obvious, but no one catches on until the end? I forced myself to finish it, but it wasn't easy.

Fantastic!

Another twisty, twisted delight of a thriller from Kiersten Modglin!

It was refreshing to see the nightmare roommate scenario with men instead of women.

Great character development. Elias was so well written. She nailed that type of guy perfectly.

The narrator was ok, he grew on me. He has a nice voice that was pleasant enough to listen to. It was more of a read than a performance. He didn’t differentiate between the two main male characters which was a bit confusing at times.

Worth a credit!
