Jessica spends the evening getting to know her new neighbor, Martha. They have a lot in common--maybe too much. Drunk, they fall asleep in her living room. Jessica wakes to an intruder in the house. She wakes Martha who quickly escorts her to the basement--a bunker type shelter. Too many coincidences. I wanted to know what was really going on . . .

I knew things were not what they seemed but I wouldn't have guessed quite what came to be. The story has a strong 'Misery' vibe. Fast paced and tense. Trying to out play a psycho at their own messed up games. Quick but satisfying.3 s Jane Avery23

Zero Star Review This was a cheap knockoff of Misery. It’s poorly written and follows Stephen King storyline way too closely but she’s not a good storyteller.
3 s Phyllis Krall454 11

Jessica is excited to finally have a new neighbor move in on her street. Both her and Martha are so much a and have similar interests. They share an evening together, drinking and chatting. The evening is great and both fall asleep. Jessica is awakened by an intruder in the house, and wakes Martha. They both go to the basement to hide. Nothing is as it seems when Jessica realizes she is Martha’s prisoner and cannot escape.

This is a fast paced psychological thriller that was absolutely chilling. I felt Jessica’s fear throughout and was as scaed as she was. The twist at the end was totally unexpected!

Thanks to Goodreads for gifting me with this Ebook in exchange for an honest review.2 s Pheadra804 43

This was a fast-paced, gripping, one day read predominantly about two women who were both involved with the same man. Jessica had a one night stand with Quinn at college but he pursued her and until she realized his obsessive controlling personality were harmful, had a short term relationship with him. Martha, a nutter, meets Quinn and is taken with his dedication and obsession to Jessica despite Jessida having left him years earlier. Martha and Quinn arrange a bizarre situation for Jessica to meet with Quinn again, until every thing goes pear-shaped. 4 stars1 Zoe452 24

When Martha moves in on Jessica’s street they make an instant friendship, with many striking similarities in their pasts it all seems uncanny. But Martha isn’t who she proclaims to be and Jessica is about to learn this the hard way.

A fast afternoon read. Had a suburban, Misery by Stephen King vibe.1 Tracy Gavin443 22

Terrible book. So boring I couldn't finish reading it.1 Linda1,246 11

Jessica meets her new neighbor when her dog runs into her house. I saw a lot of myself in Jessica. I find it hard not to take people at face value. She is so trusting of someone she just met. Little does she know what the neighbor has in store for her. I enjoyed the twists, and I was right there with Jessica, but I was shocked at the end. I would highly recommend this story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving my review. Claudete Takahashi1,995 28

The Lady Next Door is a fast-paced story, beautifully written, full of twists and turns that kept me glued to the book guessing what would happen next. It's frightening to think that someone who lives next door would have a panic room and believe it's "normal"... I loved Ms. Green's writing style and will be looking forward to reading other books by the author.
I downloaded a free copy of this book through Booksprout and this is my honest opinion. Tammy davis166 2

Really frightening

This book disturbed me on a deep level. It really made me look long and hard at how easily someone can slide inside your life, and the damage they can do. It scared me so badly that I'm starting to look funny at even the people I think I know. S.E. Green, if you genuinely wanted to scare somebody, mission accomplished. So if you want to be scared, read this. Mrs. Dunwell80 1 follower

Spoilers ahead

I loved the start of the book. Jessica meeting her new neighbour Martha and then there being a home invasion and the women being stuck together to fight for survival. The twist I’ll leave out bcs it’s the only twist of the book but at one point Jessica is so dumb it’s hard to finish the story. you escape but put yourself back in captivity because you can’t find your dog your captive has taken? Come on. Such a rip off misery but far less well done. This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review Elizabeth206

What a fantastic book. The story starts with two neighbors, both young, meeting for the first time. Innocent enough. Then the tension builds. A gripping and emotionally charged domestic thriller. I literally could not put this book down. I will definitely read other books by this amazing author. I highly recommend this book. Gloria54 1 follower

This book is not a psychological thriller guessing game but it is intense. This is about a crazy next door neighbor that the protagonist makes the mistake of befriending a little too quickly. A real psycho. That’s the most I can say about her without giving away too much. If you enjoy fast paced locked in type thrillers, you will enjoy this one. KPKnupp140 3

Shannon does it again! Filled with twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end, this is a book you won’t want to put down. I love how the final twist just sneaks up on you. You’ll want to check your locks after reading this thriller! Thebestdogmom1,172 7

This book just caught my interest. Loved the cover photo and the story really kept me intrigued. It’s not often I will sit down and read an entire book in one day but this one did! First page to end, totally enjoyed it. Two big thumbs up. Denise115 2

I read this book in one sitting. It was a fantastic psychological thriller—impossible to put down. The plot was different than anything I’ve been reading lately and it was incredibly riveting. I encourage readers to pick this book up! Heather N Dean94

decent read

Some good backstory and storyline. Not my fav type of plot to read but it was written well, face paced and the perfect length for what it was. I would give it a 3.5 star rating Pam A213 1 follower

Short, easy read. Good suspense and character development. Surprise ending. Very graphic gory details (which is why I gave it a 3, could have done with less). Jessica was a smart woman with survivalist skills which she used. Alot of courage too. I identified with her love for her dog over herself. cathey dalton132 2

Wild !!

What a ride!! I I thought the characters were intriguing to say the least. I wonder how the writer digs into a story line and makes it blossom. The story by far a page-turner.

Wow!

What a story! What can I say except that it kept me interested the whole way through; as I had trouble wanting to read it in one sitting. This is my first by Green but won't be my last Rose Kostelecky11
