This is my first book from James and it will not be my last! He shows us the pure terror that is physical and verbal domestic abuse. What makes it worse is that the abuse occurs over two generations. Apartment 6 was at times difficult to read, and if you have experienced domestic abuse of any sort, this novel may be a trigger for you.
From the first line, I was drawn into Apartment 6 and that first chapter is incredible. The chapters alternate between twenty years ago and present day and the past definitely affects the present. Megan is the focus of our novel and in present day she meets Oliver and then together they go down a path that many may not expect. Apartment 6 really does show the dark side of human nature, in both expected and unexpected ways. Nearly all the characters are unlikeable in some way, but this adds to the story, and does not take away.
The less you know about Apartment 6 the better. I did figure out all but one twist, which was about ¾ into the novel, and that twist I never even saw coming. It was a complete shocker to me! If I had not figured out the other twists I can imagine that I would have been completely blown away.
If you enjoy thrillers, do give Apartment 6 a try, it is currently just .99 on kindle!
