Description
'A compulsively readable page-turner' - HEATHER GUDENKAUF, NEW YORK TIMES bestseller
THE RENT IS CHEAP. THE PRICE IS HER LIFE.
Nya can't remember the last time she felt safe.
The rundown rental house wasn't so bad until the incidents began. Stolen food. A rattling doorknob. Her belongings, rifled through. And there's only one possible culprit: her peculiar roommate, Sidney.
Nya can't afford to move. She just needs to survive her final semester, then she'll be free.
But to her horror, the sinister mind games are just the beginning. As the situation spirals, Nya learns a truth more terrifying than she ever imagined.
Surviving the night may no longer be an option.
Room for Rent is a pulse-pounding thriller from bestselling BookTok sensation Noelle W. Ihli, author of Ask for Andrea.

Reviews / Votes
This heart-pounding thriller will grip you from the first sentence and won't let you go until the last. Settle in and get comfy, because it's the very definition of unputdownable -- Faith Gardner, author of <i>The Slaying Game</i> Gripping and unpredictable, Room for Rent by Noelle Ihli had me peering between my fingers as I read. Anyone who has had a problematic roommate will immediately relate to this darkly disturbing, compulsively readable page-turner. An immersive, spine-tingling, deeply visceral experience. I recommend reading it with the lights blazing -- Heather Gudenkauf, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Overnight Guest</i> Ihli's voice is magical and absorbing. I was immediately drawn into this story that quickly became something of every woman's nightmares. With characters you'll relate to, empathize with, and root for, it's easy to get lost in this atmospheric and utterly claustrophobic story -- Kiersten Modglin, bestselling author of <i>The Arrangement</i> This book is the definition of 'sleep with one eye open.' It got under my skin - sometimes quite literally made me feel like my skin was crawling. Tense, suspenseful, and oh so creepy, you won't fall asleep quite so easily after reading this one! -- Jess Kitching, author of <i>Lucky Number 11</i> Hands down one of my favourite reads of the year -- Freida McFadden, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Housemaid</i> on <i>Ask For Andrea</i> A no-holds-barred, gut punch of a book that had me gritting my teeth as I read -- Caleb Stephens, award-winning author of <i>The Girls in the Cabin</i> on <i>Gray After Dark</i> A spine-chilling, high-octane thriller that will keep your heart racing until the final pages -- A.B. Whelan, author of <i>No One Can Hear You Scream</i> on <i>Run on Red</i> Riveting and heart-wrenching -- Deborah J. Ledford, award-winning author of <i>Redemption</i> on <i>None Left to Tell</i> Still recovering from this heart-pounding read. Keep your smartwatch on, because your pulse will be racing -- Sara Ennis, author of <i>The Dollhouse</i> on <i>Run on Red </i> Memorable, engaging, and chilling . . . this novel will stay with you long after you have read it -- Anthony Avina, author of <i>Identity</i> on <i>The Thicket</i> A master of the suspenseful thriller, once again showcasing her ability to navigate heartstopping suspense and heartbreaking emotion in equal measure -- Brett Mitchell Kent, author of <i>Whispers of Apple Blossoms</i> on <i>Gray After Dark</i>More details
