Hellooo!

Not done some advance Booktempting for a while but an intriguing thriller had got on my radar for 2025! Yes Booktempting never ends! In this case is the fantastic sounding The Other People by CB Everett and this sounds enticing!

Forget what you think you know.

Ten strangers.

An old dark house.

A killer picking them off one by one.

And a missing girl who’s running out of time…

Ten strangers wake up inside an old, locked house. They have no recollection of how they got there.

In order to escape, they have to solve the disappearance of a young woman.

But a killer also stalks the halls of the house and soon the body count starts to rise.

Who are these strangers? Why were they chosen? Why would someone want to kill them?

And who – or what – is the Beast in the Cellar?

Because while you can trust yourself, can you really trust THE OTHER PEOPLE?

The Other People comes from Simon and Schuster 10/4/25. Everett is getting praise from the likes of Sarah Pinborough, John Connolly and Mark Billingham which should prick our ears too!

There is as you can see a lovely cover created by Pip Watkins and The Other People is available to pre-order now.
