Jules Larson was struggling after losing her job and her boyfriend within the same day. Desperate for a new job while living off of her friends couch, she finds a job that seems too good to be true – an apartment sitter at the most prestigious apartment building in NYC that pays really well. She would be a fool not to take it. The first day she moved in she met another apartment sitter named Ingrid who tells her that she’s starting to feel uneasy and terrified at night. What could possibly going on at the Bartholomew?

Review

I loved this book from start to finish. It drew me in with the grandeur of living at the Bartholomew and how this girl with hardships got an opportunity of a lifetime. Then when things started to get creepy and unsettling – I couldn’t put the book down. Especially near the end when you discover what is actually going on there – I was in absolute shock. I could not have guessed about what was going on. I cannot wait to read Riley’s other books – which I heard are all fantastic.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m a little late to writing this post BUT – this is one of my favorite posts to write so I still wanted to do it anyways!

What I am currently reading

Across the Universe by Beth Revis
For a book battle I needed to read a book about space. One of my teammates suggested this book. I just started the audiobook a couple days ago and it’s pretty interesting! It’s about a family who gets frozen so they can travel 301 years to somewhere in space to get more natural resources for Earth.

The Selection by Kiera Cass
I have been hesitating to read this book for awhile. What was holding me back was the main characters name – **America Singer.** I thought it sounded *lame*. BUT I’m really enjoying this book (and I couldn’t put it down enough last night to write this post).

What I recently finished

Always Never Yours by Emily Wibberly

I thought this book looked intriguing based on how beautiful the cover is. I enjoyed some parts of it but I also think I’m too old when I read a YA book with a main character who complains a lot.

The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine

I thought this book was fascinating and well written to keep the reader involved in learning more. It’s like hearing all the juicy gossip without being a part of it – which is the best of both worlds.
