When the Lowans move in, Rosie immediately starts to feel uncomfortable about the intrusive neighbors; the ubiquitous surveillance cameras; the Alexa-like intercom system; and the general atmosphere of 'big brother is watching you.

Bad things start to happen, and the story is fairly predictable from there.
For me this book is too slow and too reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. Also, I don't like books where the female protagonist is too naive to see what's right in front of her eyes. In other words, TSTL (too stupid to live).
This isn't a bad book and many suspense fans would probably enjoy it. It's just too derivative for me.
Rating: 3 stars
