Description

A compulsively readable page-turner - HEATHER GUDENKAUF, NEW YORK TIMES bestseller

THE RENT IS CHEAP. THE PRICE IS HER LIFE.

Nya can't remember the last time she felt safe.

The rundown rental house wasn't so bad until the incidents began. Stolen food. A rattling doorknob. Her belongings, rifled through. And there's only one possible culprit: her peculiar roommate, Sidney.

Nya can't afford to move. She just needs to survive her final semester, then she'll be free.

But to her horror, the sinister mind games are just the beginning. As the situation spirals, Nya learns a truth more terrifying than she ever imagined.

Surviving the night may no longer be an option.

Room for Rent is a pulse-pounding thriller from bestselling BookTok sensation Noelle W. Ihli, author of Ask for Andrea.
