What would you do if someone decided you should be dead?

Cara, John, and Ev have secrets…

Cara needs a place to live, and a room in John’s house fits the bill.
John needs a lodger, and Cara sounds the perfect tenant.
Ev needs a man in her life to give her an ego boost.

But life takes a wrong turn for all three of them, and things don’t work out as they’d hoped—until Cara and Ev make new plans, and they find themselves intent on committing murder. John needs to watch himself, as things are about to get sinister…

4.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Has Secrets
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019
Many thanks to MEL COMLEY (author) for recommending and sending the digital copy of this book. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Everyone has secrets ... deep, dark secrets.

Cara rents a room in John's house. They seem to get along well, until John starts acting strangely. He becomes quiet and withdrawn. She thinks daily of killing him.

Ev has a run in with Cara and they become friends ... of a sort. Ev is not the kind of friend Cara normally has ... but then John doesn't allow her to have friends. Ev encourages Cara to fix herself up, wear something besides beige, color her hair, get a spiky cut ...just like Ev.

John wishes he had never accepted Cara as a lodger. In fact, he's downright afraid of her ... especially when he sees what she keeps in her room.

SINISTER is a great title for this psychological thriller. There are surprising changes within all the twists and turns of the plot. The book is told in 3 voices ... Cara, Ev, John. Each sees things in a different way ... so who's telling the truth? Who's lying? And who has the deepest, darkest secret?

This story revolves around three characters..John a bank manager , Cara a plain girl who stays with John..and Ev..glamourous ,vivacious and a woman with plans..I didn't like any of the characters although in the beginning I felt sorry for the downtrodden Cara...As the story moved on I felt this quiet dread as to what was going to happen..Sinister is exactly what it says in the title..Having read almost all of Emmy Ellis books..I have to say that perhaps this is Ellis at her darkest and most twisted..This is a story of death revenge and madness..Hell may have no fury..but Madness is the devil in disguise..So very dark..with one who is beyond repair...At parts you will be screaming inside your head...yet you won't be able to turn your eyes away....If you like dark dark storytelling....Emmy Ellis sure knows how to tell them ...

This story surrounds 3 people who are John, Cara and Ev. Each person tells their story and it all comes together near the end. Lots of secrets and lies, I don’t want to give anything away! Great characters and all written about well. I enjoyed this book

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic read by Emmy Ellis.

I really like John, the banker. He decides to rent his spare room out. This is when we meet Cara.
She cooks too. A win, win, for him.

He then meets Ev. Who is everything Cara isn’t. He soon becomes involved with her. Although, he still returns home for food, after work.

This story got even more twisted. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Of course, I wanted to find out what was really going on!

Be prepared to be shocked, and a bit sick lol.

This is one twisted plot where no one is what they seem to be. Ev, Cara and John's paths become inextricably linked and you have to keep reading to find out how it ends.

Somewhat shocking but none more so than the plain downtrodden Cara. You quickly learn that she has a twisted past. I really would not want to spend time in this woman's head.

Well written and gripping although the fact it is told from the main players perspectives means that there is a lot of repetition. I wonder how many male readers ended up with crossed legs.

I will probably read more by this author in future

5.0 out of 5 stars Twisted but fascinating read.

What would you do if someone decided you should be dead?

This is such an incredibly twisted read involving three people whose lives are intertwined. But what unravels is pure genius.

Love this author’s work. She has a super twisted mind that I absolutely love.

This is a different type of read that was gripping from the opening chapter.

Secrets can have sinister consequences.

Great read, highly recommended.
