A review by shazzeth
Apartment 16 by Adam L.G. Nevill
3.0
Like a lot of other users here, I am undecided on this book. There are aspects that I really enjoyed - Apryl is a great character and I wish more time had been spent with her, rather than Seth (who I also liked, but did get slightly fed up with).
The storyline itself, I did like, but found myself confused at certain points. Seth is complex and definitely brought a really dark side to the story. I enjoyed following his breakdown and eventual demise. I did get sick of reading the C-word every time he popped up on a page though (that's from someone who isn't offended by the word!). Apryl is an interesting character and I would have liked to have learnt more. I would have also liked to have explored her relationship with Miles, as I felt it came across as quite rushed and he seemed rather flat and uninteresting compared to the jugganaut of a character that is Seth. I would also have liked to know more about Stephen and his wife, as I found their relationship really interesting.
Overall, I did enjoy the book but felt there was something missing. I doubt I will read it again but definitely don't feel I wasted my time in reading it.
