Review: Apartment 303 - Kelli Hawkins
Review: Apartment 303 - Kelli Hawkins - March 2023
This book has been one that had been sitting on
my list to read for a while as the cover caught my attention after reading
Riley Sager's Lock Every Door. This book is set in an apartment building as
well. In Apartment 303 lives Rory Johnson who is suffering from PTSD and OCD,
it is so bad that she also has slight agoraphobia. With her trauma, she
believes that when people get too close to her, they die and that it's all her
fault. That is until she meets two of her fellow neighbours Farrah and Simon.
The pair of them get to know Rory and soon she finds herself opening up and
having the desire to become part of society once again. That is until she spots
her father on a surveillance video, how can that be when he is dead? Rory is
convinced it's her dad and he is after her as she starts to smell triggers in
her apartment like cigarette smoke etc. As the book goes along though, we notice
that Rory's aunt Lucinda is determined a bit too much to have Rory stay in the
comfort of her own home and not get any better. She is also quite dismissive of
Rory, which makes me think there is more to the story. When bits and pieces of
Rory's life start to come to light and certain memories, she regains her
confidence to finally stand up for herself. However, someone close to Rory
doesn't want that to happen and will even go as far as to kill her and those
around Rory. Apartment 303 by Kelli Hawkins was a fast-paced book and a great
psychological thriller which has made me now want to go back and read Kelli's
backlist of books.
