We all want to live like a local. Stay in a ‘home away from home’. But if it’s someone else’s house, then you’re not the only one with the key.
Lauren has finally dumped her dead-weight boyfriend, and what better way to celebrate a break-up than by going on holiday with your best friend?
Except the holiday isn’t turning out as planned – their cosy twosome has become a three and while Barcelona might be heaven, their rented apartment is anything but. It’s small, shabby but, more than that, Lauren can’t help but feel hunted.
As the strange incidents escalate, Lauren and her friends decide to make their escape. But it’s when they leave that the real danger begins.
Three friends rent a type of Air BnB apartment in the centre of Barcelona and go out there hoping for a good holiday. What they don’t expect it to have an apartment that is clearly not at all what they expected. And they are not the only ones with the key…
Setting of en empty house on the holiday rental market is finely tuned but this apartment could be in any city in the world. Barcelona is mentioned but as a backdrop and somewhere nice with sun to go in Juine.
You might well want to avoid renting a similar place to Torre Sonrisas (the fictional apartment in the novel) and just head to the restaurant of the same name instead.
