The Resident by David Jackson | Review
When I first requested an advanced readers copy of The Resident, I was very excited! There has been so much hype on book-twitter and a lot of blogger friends loved it.

I was hungering for the words contained in this explosive novel. I particularly enjoyed the element of older characters being in the forefront.
