I've recently begun reading this novel in paperback and I am currently enjoying it so far. Is there anyone else here that is reading this novel or has read this novel? What are your thoughts on it?
Synopsis: Mark and Steph and their young daughter had a good life until the day armed men broke in to their home in Cape Town. Traumatized by the attack, and their helplessness to stop it, they decide a trip to France is exactly what they need. Steph discovers the perfect apartment in the heart of Paris on a house-swapping website, and they sign up. But once Mark and Steph arrive, they find themselves trapped in a hellish apartment, and their nightmare begins.
To get home, the couple will need answers about the mysterious building, seemingly abandoned except for a strange woman squatting on the top floor and the sound of someone crying thought the walls....or is it screaming? Deftly weaving together two complex and compelling characters, S. L. Grey has created a claustrophobic and chilling portrait of a disintegrating marriage teetering on the edge of darkness. The Apartment is a terrifying tour de force of supernatural horror, psychological tension, and haunting suspense. [/i] [/div]
"Dark and deeply disturbing. Trust me - this tense and frightening piece of horror is not for kids - or for the faint of heart. I'm still shuddering." --R.L. Stine (New York Times bestselling author of Fear Street)
"The Apartment is a perfectly crafted, deeply unsettling thriller: a portrait of a marriage unraveling, of the haunting and the haunted, and the idea that grief might be a door that can let other horrific things in" --Jennifer McMahon (New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People)

Sounds pretty good. I hope you like it! Wish I had the motivation to read again, can barely get through short stories nowadays, just can't stay involved mentally. But I will mention this to my wife, she's currently reading Rosemary's Baby, so this sounds like something she'd like.

I am enjoying it so far. The book definitely isn't slow. It gets right into the action, it seems. I've gotten to a good part and I think I'm going to go back to reading it now.
