Thanks to Bloodhound Book for my arc copy of The Guests by Charlotte Stevenson. 

This is my first book by this author, and I loved the dual pov, which I felt helped to create tension within this book. It was a slow build that built p really well to have the guests in this house that won't leave. I found the chapters short, snappy, and quick to read, and I found this book a quick read as I wanted to know what was happening. The mental health representation in this book was really good down, and some may find it hard to swallow as it shows a darker side to mental health that often isn't shown. The inclusion of the therapy session was brilliantly written. Tamsin is profound as she faces the secrets and trauma of her past. A thrilling read with suspense, ghostly vibes, and the challenge of confronting profound mental health issues.
