To be fair, it’s not really a cultish story (I was scared for a hot minute or two), and the animal harm is not graphic whatsoever. Bernice - She is seen as the 'queen b' of the factory. Very confident but is also struggling with her own demons. She plays a major part in a big twist in the book. You can’t just remove a name from a tenancy agreement, but there are other ways to change your tenancy agreement. Imogen (Immi) gets dumped by her boyfriend and needs a place to stay - not an easy task when you work in London and have a single person's salary. She attends an open house day at The Dye Factory, a converted workspace which now houses a small community, and requires applicants to go through an interview process. There are 2 rooms available so the competition is fierce, but Immi is offered one of the rooms. Everything seems great and Immi feels so fortunate to have been chosen, but she can't help but think about the saying "If it looks too good to be true, it usually is". Fleeing from her boyfriend Gary, Libby takes her cat and moves to a flat online. Each chapter is told from a different characters perspective. The pace is slow to begin with and I was nearly a quarter way through before anything took place. Then strange things start happening in her flat, things go missing, she gets abusive phone calls, and someone is threating her at work. I figured out who the culprit was quite early in the book. It's a bit predictable.
You can end your joint tenancy without agreement from your ex-partner. Your ex-partner can also end the tenancy without your agreement. If either of you do this, it will end the tenancy for both of you. You can find out the rules you need to follow to end your tenancy agreement. Changing the names on your tenancy agreement Hanna - A very main character who holds a lot of authority, seems to know their secrets and knows everything that is happening. She seems to be the 'fixer' although seems to have quite a manipulating side. Imagine that you’re looking for a place to live. You find a wonderful listing for a house share. The house in question is in a prime location, and has the most fabulous amenities: WFH space, library, video conferencing rooms, communal kitchen with food included, a gym area with yoga, and a rooftop terrace with an honesty bar, gorgeous views, and fun games.You should talk to an adviser if you need advice about the home you left - for example, if you have a mortgage or you're on the tenancy agreement. If you’re married or in a civil partnership, it’s a good idea to register your ‘home rights’ online. This means you’ll be told if your ex-partner tries to sell the house or the mortgage lender tries to repossess it.
Noises during the day are normal. However, they can become a problem if you want to sleep. Sleep loss, frustration, and arguments can be the consequences. 7. No Redecorating If you’ve already tried to sort things out with your ex-partner and are finding it difficult, you can get help reaching an agreement. A specialist called a ‘mediator’ can help you and your ex-partner find a solution without going to court. Important If your partner makes you feel anxious or threatened, you should get help Libby is looking for a fresh start and her sister, Olly, was able to find this houseshare on Facebook. Libby loves it and likes the other residents that she's met. The man that lives below her is a mystery as no one seems to have ever met him. He comes in at odd hours and makes a lot of noise breaking furniture and glass. Libby's cat has started to disappear for a couple days at a time as she leaves the window open for him to come and go. She spots Einstein in his apartment when she's outside one evening, but doesn't see anyone else. If you live with responsible flatmates, cleaning in house shares is easier than when you live alone. You can establish a cleaning rota, and you might be able to avoid chores you hate. Many houseshares in the UK also come with a cleaner, meaning you won’t have to clean. Lucas - very overly charming, not an easily likable character. He seems throughout very forceful, manipulating situations for his own benefit - such as acting upset to spend the night with Immi and then telling Camille they had slept together.I realise that doesn’t give you much to go on, however there are so many twists in this gripping, disturbing, swiftly evolving and multi-layered storyline, that to write anything else would be sure to give the game away to some degree.
From an entertainment perspective, this is phenomenally good. It’s Boot on the Face TV: housemates travel to London with hope in their hearts, before every one of their ambitions is systematically crushed by the reality of trying to eat lunch five days a week without suffering bankruptcy. This is just life, isn’t it? Making just enough each week to get by, before doing it again and again until you die. The only real excitement you can look forward to is having a semi-drunk row with your housemate about how you buying four beers and a kebab somehow means he now can’t attend Pride. One person was high on my list of suspects. To he honest they were the only one on my list. I did not know what had driven them though. Once again my heart was broken. I was a witness to what cruelty can do to someone. 4 stars In my house shares, I had mixed experiences. Sometimes, the others were great at cleaning; sometimes, they were not. It helps if you know your housemates beforehand. Ask about their cleaning preferences and decide to move in with them based on their response.

You might be able to buy your ex-partner’s share if you want to stay, or sell them yours if you want to leave. You'll need a mortgage. Immi - I really liked her character, it was obvious from the start that she had gone through something traumatic. It became clear she was a lot stronger than she thought, and I loved how she was so firm in her decisions, how she knew she didn't owe anyone anything. She was a main (and favourite) character. She took control and helped situations without even realising. Towards the end we find out about her past, her secrets and the traumatic experience (though throughout it is heavily implied what had happened).
Usually if you leave your home, the council won't give you housing help because you've made yourself 'intentionally homeless'. This doesn't apply if you had to leave your home because of domestic abuse. Libby is a domestic abuse survivor who has recently moved into a flat in an apartment complex owned by Tim and is just starting to get settled into her independent life when strange things happening around her. She gets the feeling like she is being stalked, her stuff starts disappearing and someone keeps throwing stones at her windows. Mix in a intriguing landlord, a scorned workplace enemy and an estranged husband. The Houseshare by Carla Kovach is a psychological thriller (and apparently a re-work of “To Let” – which I have not read). For those readers who relish the ‘armchair traveller’ status which comes along with a good premise and interesting characters, this storyline might not be quite enough to satisfy. However, within the confines of its single location of Birmingham City, Carla made the most of the opportunity to use plenty of descriptive narrative and dialogue, to make me feel as though I was walking the streets alongside the characters, seeing what they were seeing and feeling what was happening to them. The story focuses a lot on previous housemates and various secrets that have apparently been covered up. It begins with the suicide of someone living in the house. The things that begin to happen in the house are really not that bad and it's never really clear why they happened. They are certainly not bad enough to drive people to suicide yet that's what happens or is it murder?I liked the relationship between the two sisters. It felt honest. Actually, all the characters were interesting. The abusive relationship and harassment from Gary and Trevor was really well done, but Libby's initial quiet acceptance of it really pissed me off. On the other hand, I think she always had Olly to protect her, so she didn't really ever have to stand up for herself. That changed. You can apply to court to change your ex-partner's tenancy to your name, or remove their name from a joint tenancy. You can apply to your local council for homeless help. Tell them you’re in ‘priority need’ because you've experienced domestic abuse. A totally implausible, unrealistic, far fetched novel that will grip you in its vice and give you a good shake while it's got hold of ypu! I was left guessing throughout and the ending was not what I was expecting which is always a bonus.
Great Deal
