Review Note:
This review of Room 21 has been waiting in my drafts for some time, and I’m thrilled to finally share it.
Life and personal reasons meant I couldn’t publish it at release, but now I can share my honest thoughts on this unforgettable psychological thriller.
As always, this review reflects my honest thoughts.
About the book
They say blood is thicker than water. I say blood is just harder to wash off your hands.
My name’s Kimberley. I’m twenty-five. I have epilepsy, a seizure alert dog named Muffin, and a job I love as a senior housekeeper in one of London’s top hotels. I’m used to being invisible. Overlooked. Safe.
But that was before Jennifer Clifton checked in. She’s rich, powerful, terrifyingly calm — and she asked for me by name.
She gives me my dream job, working in her exclusive hotel in the Scottish Highlands. It’s more money than I ever imagined.
There’s just one catch: Don’t open the door to Room 21.
How hard can that be?
But something is wrong in this hotel. The guests are unsettling. The staff whisper behind closed doors. And that room — the one I promised not to enter — calls to me.
I took the job for a better life. Now I’m trapped in a nightmare.

My Review
Room 21 is a psychological thriller that had me completely captivated from start to finish.
The writing is exceptional — immersive, vivid, and astonishingly real. Every scene is meticulously crafted, drawing you into a world filled with tension, dread, and uncertainty. The author has an extraordinary gift for creating atmosphere: the hotel feels alive, every hallway echoes with unease, and the suspense lingers long after the book is closed.
The story is dark, intense, and relentlessly gripping. Each twist is expertly timed, keeping you on edge and eager to uncover the next shocking revelation. The narrative pulls you in so fully that you feel the tension in your chest, the weight of the dread, and the unnerving pull of curiosity — a rare and powerful reading experience.
What makes this book truly stand out is the way it balances suspense and psychological depth. It’s not just about shocks or twists; it’s about the creeping sense of unease, the vivid realism, and the way the story makes you feel every fear and uncertainty alongside the characters. The tension builds steadily and hits with full force, making the climax both shocking and utterly satisfying.
Room 21 is more than a thriller — it’s an immersive, unforgettable experience. Fans of dark, atmospheric, and emotionally gripping psychological suspense will find themselves unable to put it down.
This is masterful storytelling at its finest: chilling, compelling, and impossible to forget.
