Review: The Caretaker by Emily Shiner - ARC

The Caretaker The Caretaker by Emily Shiner
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Note: I received an advanced copy of the book via NetGalley.

Newlyweds Amy and Tim move into their dream home, anxious to put their rocky past behind them and make a fresh start. But the rambling fixer-upper and its surrounding gardens need more work than they expected, so they decide to hire a live-in caretaker. Paul seems to be the perfect candidate. But he has an ulterior motive – taking the job is just one part of the deadly revenge plan he’s been hatching for years. Soon, Amy starts to notice strange things happening around the house. Tim dismisses her concerns, and tension between the couple starts to build. As the rift between them grows ever wider, Paul sets the final phase of his horrifying plan in motion. Now Amy and Tim are in a fight for survival - and their dream home has become a nightmare from which they may never escape.

What was that??? This book was creepy to the max. The weird revenge vibes morphing into the stalkerish element did not necessarily make for enjoyable reading. I guess Shiner did a great job because I was very put off by the characters.
