The Roommates Reviews
-
Well the cover is great!
Covers DO sell don’t they and this one drew me in and I was already imagining the story before I read a word
The reality didn’t match
The story is based around a group of University Students who find themselves sharing a flat as they embark on their Uni life, all peculiar and all with back stories, one of them goes missing and the rest, some half heartedly, try and find her
It’s told by them all, in a chapter each affair and it was easy to get them confused and tbh my mind wandered more or less straightaway as, for me, 1 of them with a big secret backstory is acceptable but all of them, nah, didn’t work for me really
The writing was ok, the stories believability did not improve as it went on and although I finished it I wouldn’t have been too worried if I hadn’t
The ending was welcome!
3/10

Four girls arrive at university and the flat they will share. Each girl has her own secret. Imogen (Imo), Amber, Teagan and Phoenix all have different personalities. Then one of the girls goes missing. At first, it o ly seems to be Imo that seems concerned. The girls has all seen a man with binoculars watching them. Amber's other arrives to collect her clothes believing her daughter has gone travelling following a text message she recieved.
The story starts off slow but the pace picks up once Amber goes missing. It's not long before all the girls are concerned for Amber. They start digging to try and find out what's happened to her. The story is told by the three girls that's left behind perspectives. It's a twisty dark thriller. Theres tension and intrigue. A story full of secrets and lies. I was not keen on any of the characters. An interesting read.
I would like to thank NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and the author Rachel Sargeant for my ARC in exchange for an honest review. -
Having read and really enjoyed previous books by Rachel Sargeant I was looking forward to reading The Roommates. It didn't quite live up to my expectations, it started off slow and I never really got invested in it. There are a lot of characters with a lot of issues going on but I didn't really like any of them. The story was good but I was hoping for more.
The Roommates is the story of 4 girls who move into a flat together at university in their first year. They slowly start getting to know each other and start their new lives. And then one of the girls goes missing. All their secrets and pasts start to come out as they try to find out where she went and why.
Thanks to Harper Collins UK and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased -
The story centres around four new university roommates, Imo (Imogen), Amber, Teagan and Pheonix. All of the four young women are very different in personalities so it was interesting to see how they were all going to get on.
It’s made clear that all four of them have something about them or their pasts that they don’t seem to be in a hurry to share with each other. This piqued my interest along with what seems like a stalker on campus. I just knew there were going to be lots of secrets and I couldn’t wait to find out what they were.
The pace of the story picks up when one of them goes missing. To start with it’s only Imo that seems to be bothered. It isn’t long though that her worries transfer to the others and they start doing some digging to find out what has happened.
The Roommates is a novel that didn’t take me long to settle into at all. There is a lot of suspense and my mind was going into overdrive as to what was being withheld from us and to what was in store. As the revelations start coming out, it made for some surprising reading. My first book by the author and certainly won’t be my last.

Pretty interesting mystery with some good twists and suprises.

It’s an average level story.

Going off to university and reinventing yourself is a common student trope but in The Roommates the four girls arriving at the University of Abbeythorpe for Freshers Week and sharing a flat all have a past they wish to leave behind and keep hidden from their new flatmates. As the narrative moves between the perspective of each of the four (Amber, Phoenix, Imogen and Tegan) it is only the trauma of Imogen (Imo) and the nightmares following the disappearance of her older sister that are initially apparent. It is no surprise that Imo finds the first few days at uni tough but she is not alone in seeing the man in the black hoodie with binoculars that turns up wherever they go although none of the girls choose to address the subject. A fifth bizarrely silent male flatmate also joins them in their new accommodation. From mean girl businesswoman, Tegan to capable tomboy, Phoenix and jumpy Imo, the girls only need to spend a few days with flaky Amber to put her down as a compulsive liar and fantasist of the first order.
Just two days into Freshers Week with the diverse group rubbing along awkwardly they attend the Freshers Fair where Amber suddenly bolts from the scene and they are told days later that she has quit university. When Amber’s mother comes to pick up her belongings she seems relatively unsurprised by Amber’s text saying she is going travelling, but Imo, who is haunted by her sister’s disappearance is ill at ease and wants conclusive proof. Given that Imo has known Amber for all of two days and her mother seems indifferent about her daughter and goes on to recount Amber’s history your average fresher probably wouldn’t care. But Imo’s past has accustomed her to fear the worst and from this tenuous starting point and via some massive assumptions, questionable judgements and ridiculously bonkers connections she follows an unlikely trail.
Whilst one of the four girls having such a chaotic background might be believable, four out of four plus another few on campus stretched plausibility and some of their back-stories are deeply convoluted. Why the male flatmate does not speak to any of his flatmates for weeks also makes little sense and is never explained. The group are unlikely friends and spend much of the time either trying to pacify whiny Imo by looking into her suspicions or throwing a strop and telling her to get a life and forget about Amber. Frankly it became tiresome and the longer the whole affair limped on my interest dwindled. When we finally get to the bottom of Amber’s disappearance it is less likely than me winning the lottery several weeks on the trot. It certainly didn’t help the story that none of the characters emerge from the page and even with the reluctant thawing of relations towards each other as they learn about their individual backgrounds it failed to make up for a mystery that feels conjured out of thin air and lacked tension or any sense of urgency. -
Leaving home and going off to University is supposed to be one of life's big adventures. New opportunities,new friends,loads of freedom and parties. But Imogen (Imo) has been at University for only one week and she already feels like she has made a massive mistake.
She can't shake the unnerving feeling that she is being stalked by a mysterious shadowy figure and that her three room mates Amber,Regan and Phoenix are keeping secrets from her.
Then Amber disappears.
Can the remaining room mates overcome their differences and work together to find their missing room mate? Where is Amber and why has Imogen become so obsessed with her disappearance that it's starting to affect her everyday life and studies.
The chapters alternate between all four of the room mates,each of whom was a diverse individual with their own vivid personalities and hidden secrets. Out of all four of the girls,my least favourite for most of the book was Tegan although she did redeem herself a little towards the end of the story. Imogen was a complex character who carried around a lot of baggage with her due to her secret. The readers knew what her secret was and why she behaved the way she did but the other girls didn't find out what it was until quite late in the story.
This is a gripping mystery/thriller that is packed full of twists and turns,keeps the reader guessing and frantically turning the pages from the first page,right through to the breath taking conclusion. From the way that this story ends it appears that the author is planning to write a sequel. Fingers crossed that she is because one of the girls secrets is not resolved by the end of this book and I would love to read another story featuring these fantastic characters. Once I started reading this well written thriller,I honestly couldn't put it down and I think that this is Rachel Sargeant`s best book so far. Worth far more than five stars and very highly recommended.
Many thanks to Rachel Sargeant and Harper Collins for an arc of this book in exchange for a honest review. And for the opportunity to take part in the Blog tour -
I’m a huge fan of this author so I was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for this book, especially as the invitation came from the author herself which is always nice. Once again the author has written a realistic, twisty thriller which was hard to put down.
The author perfectly captures the atmosphere of Freshers at university with the excitement of being somewhere new but the fear of not fitting in which reminded me of me of my own experience. The old college buildings added a slightly creepy edge to the story as there were lots of dark corners to hide in.
The four main characters were brilliantly evoked with all of them coming from very different backgrounds which gives plenty of reasons for disagreements between them. Each of the characters are holding back parts of themselves, as you’d expect in a new situation, which makes it hard for the reader to decide who to trust. I have to admit I didn’t really like any of the characters to start with but as I got to know them better and saw their interactions with each other I started to care about them. They really pull together when one of their group goes missing which was heartwarming to see.
There is plenty of intrigue to keep the readers interest with their quiet room mate Riku who doesn’t give much away about himself and the mysterious stranger who seems to be watching the characters just out of sight. Is he real or is he just a figment of their increasing paranoia? This as well as the characters interesting backstory combines to make a gripping read which I found hard to put down. I thoroughly review this enjoyable read to everyone!
Huge thanks to Rachel Sargeant for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper Collins for my copy of this book via Netgalley. -
It is such an exciting time to go to university especially if it means being independent for the first time and house-sharing with other students. The only thing is the house-sharing is normally with complete strangers that know nothing about each other. Imogen, Amber, Teagan and Pheonix were complete strangers with some pretty hefty baggage that they didn't want to bring with them. Then just across the hall, there was Riku, a man that kept himself to himself. This was a time to start a clean slate and build the futures they were aiming for, not looking back on.
It isn't long before one of the roommates goes missing and Imogen is determined to find out where she has gone or what has happened to her. Once she starts looking then she sees things that hadn't been obvious before, like someone watching them from a distance but always managing to hide their face. If she is going to get anywhere she can't do this herself so she talks her roommates into helping.
I must admit that my favourite character in this story is Teagan. She has tried to hide her background but luckily for the group, she has learnt some pretty dodgy stuff from her past. She is sassy and confident, just what they need.
The story began as a mystery to be solved but as it unfolds and these reluctant amateur sleuths dig deeper to find their missing roommate I realised it had turned into a top rate thriller. The pace had increased and the dangers had escalated tenfold. I couldn't put this book down there was no place to stop. A super read.
I wish to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an e-copy of this book which I have reviewed honestly. -
The Roommates is a book that is full of mystery and suspense that will have you hooked and reading well into the night. This book definitely keeps you on your toes and ends with a jaw dropping finale which I loved.
Rachel has created a tightly woven, intriguing plot where four girls, Imogen (Imo for short), Amber, Phoenix and Tegan, are brought together sharing a flat as they attend their first year of university. Each girl couldn’t be more different from the other and each have a secret from their past that they bring with them.
Set in the university’s fresher’s week, Rachel wastes no time in throwing the girls together when one of them goes missing. When the girls mother informs the girls that she left to go travelling via a text message, doesn’t sit well with Imo and the mystery deepens when strange things start happening which makes Imo start to question who is she really living with.
Although I did not really gel with any of the characters from the get go, Rachel has done a good job in bringing them to life. I really enjoyed how I was kept second guessing as to how this was all going to unfold and who was going to be responsible. As the story progresses each girl starts to unravel and secrets are revealed and you then get a better understanding as to why each one is the way they are through alternating chapters from each of their perspectives and by the end I did change my opinion on a couple of them.
I enjoyed Rachel’s style and she does a great job in capturing the readers attention with unique storytelling, descriptive and cohesive writing and she definitely knows her way around the psychological thriller genre, It was a pleasure to be able to read and review The Roommates which I highly recommend.
Thank-you to NetGalley, Harper Collins and Rachel Sargeant for allowing me to read an advanced copy of The Roommates which I have reviewed and voluntarily.

A tense and claustrophobic page-turner – the perfectly metered drip-feed of information leaves you constantly hungry for more. The main characters take matters into their own hands as events threaten to overwhelm them, further upping the pace and leading to a terrific finale. The university setting and the social dynamics are wonderfully convincing and I loved the way the relationships change and mature. It was the perfect uplifting counterpoint to an enjoyably dark and gripping tale.
Thanks to HarperCollins for the advance review copy. -
Quite a slow start but got much better as the plot developed. The short chapters helped maintain a quick flow but it was sometimes difficult to keep up with the change in character perspectives as the book switches between the four main girls (the roommates) very often.
-
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This book starts off slow and has four POV's. Each of the four flatmates are very different from each other and all have skeletons in their closets.
When one of the four girls disappears, Imogen is convinced something bad has happened to her. In the time that ticks by that the flatmate is missing, all four of the girls skeletons start to emerge in the story.
I found the book to be an interesting page turner that I was gripped by, wanting to find out what had happened, how and why. -
The book is about 4 girls who are roommates when they start University. They all seem to be hiding things from their past and you wonder what secrets are going to come tumbling out. Imo seems to be the only one who is concerned when one of the girls disappears. Her concerns gradually feed into the other girls and they do try to find her.
It really makes you guess what is about to happen next and what the girls are hiding from each other. I enjoyed the sense of embarking on a new life at Uni and the excitement of the freshers week alongside the thriller element with the mystery running through,
I would be keen to read more from Rachel Sargeant. -
Wow it took me until about page 172 to even have a clue what was going on. There are way too many characters and not enough depth to them. I had to keep rereading pages because I was confused as to who did what and who they actually were. All the names were highly confusing. It would have been a good basis of a story had the characters been more evolved and less of them
-
If your after a book that will keep you fully immersed and full of intrigue right up until the conclusion then look no further!
Rachel Sargeant has done it again and grasped a scenario, captured every emotion and blown the idea out of the water.
This novel is full of unanswered questions throughout which makes you not only wanting but needing to keep reading to get all those questions answered. Believe me... your head will be spinning by the end.
A real twisty, dark thriller that makes you question how well you actually know those around you how much you trust them!
Likeable characters, fantastic storyline, twisty scenarios... 5* all round.
Huge thank you to netgalley and Harper Collins UK for the ARC. -
A Great Read:
Five fresher students share a flat in the University Halls of Residence; Imogen, Phoenix, Tegan, Amber & Riku. Four girls and a mysterious young man. the girls rapidly become friends. Each though has a secret which they would rather not share with their new student friends. Each a tragic secret.
Each of the girls is psychologically damaged in some way or other. Main character is Imogen who has lost her sister, Sophia. The details of Sophia's disappearance is gradually revealed throughout the novel. Each of the students has a secret they would rather not share with their flatmates. Gradually however the secrets are revealed.
Amber disappears, ostensibly travelling. But Imogen suspects that something bad has happened to Amber and only gradually manages to convince her fellow girlfriends that she might be correct.
A slow start but the novel gets better and better the further you read. Be prepared for surprises.
An absorbing thriller and one I'd definitely recommend to other readers. The novel has a slow start but once the pace picks up you'll find it difficult to put down.
(My review was based on an eBook file provided to me by the publisher. My review is totally independent.) -
Was a bit dubious about this book when i started. However I really enjoyed it. Didn't know if i was coming or going. Good short chapters. Good characters each with their own story to tell. Hiding secrets from one another.
Will be reading more by this author -
I second-guessed my instinct to read this thriller of four girls off at uni thinking I was well beyond those years and what interest could The Roommates hold for me, a late forties reader? Well, it turns out there's more here than meets the eye and I am glad I took the dive.
Four girls from different backgrounds become flatmates at uni. Each has their own secret but something is clearly amiss when one suddenly disappears a few days into fresher's week. Imogen, a shy retiring girl who has recently dealt with the disappearance of her sister, sees something really wrong and cannot let it go, driving Teagan and Pheonix to distraction. But, is she correct? I will honestly say at this point I didn't give a fig but as the story firmed up I was hooked. I did see the main twist coming a mile away but wasn't bothered that it seemed so obvious. The camaraderie between the girls with the unveiling of the clues made the journey interesting and, though they hardly ever went to lectures, I was keen to see how everything would play out. The Roommates is a fun distraction for both adults and even uni students looking to dodge a bit of homework. -
I love that it’s set at a British university rather than an American college. I can relate to the feeling of being a fresher 😂
The start of this book had me intrigued and wondering how everything and everyone fit together. I love that you’re fed bits of information in a way hat feels natural, rather than an information dump.
The scene setting is great and is realistic for a British uni (in my opinion).
I think the 4 protagonists are written well and compliment each other, and it works well when their pasts start to catch up on them.
I Also love the different POV. It gives you a sneak peek into the real thoughts behind each persona!
This was a quick, suspenseful read for me and I really enjoyed it!
If you like thriller and suspense novels like An Anonymous Girl and Gone Girl, then you’ll enjoy this! -
This is very much a story of how grief and loss can become all consuming and take over a person's identify. All the characters in this story have dark secrets that revolve around their own personal losses which motivates their actions going forward.
I appreciate that all the characters in this story had different and very distinct voices. The beginning was intriguing and made me want to unravel these characters' stories. However, at about the 25% mark, things took a turn for the worse. It became tedious to read, and I found myself skipping over much of it just to get to the end. The end had some redeeming qualities but was overall lackluster. I was particularly disappointed in Imogen's ending (and her as a character in general). -
A really great physiological thriller. Full of twist and turns. I love the way the author writes. As it is so gripping. I enjoyed this book thanks.
-
Loved this book.
Was hooked from the first chapter. All the characters are so relatable. Had me drawn in and was like i was on the journey with them. -
I have had the great pleasure of reading and reviewing a couple of Rachel’s books now and those I have read, I have loved. I read the synopsis for ‘The Roommates’ and it certainly appealed to me. I was interested in seeing how the story developed and so I dived straight in. Blimey oh riley ‘The Roommates’ was one hell of a read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it but more about that in a bit.
I have to be honest and say that I don’t think I warmed to any of the main characters at all. I was suspicious of them all as I got the distinct impression that they were all a bit dodgy and all were keeping secrets that they wanted to keep hidden. I am a bit of a suspicious person by nature and tend to suspect everybody and believe nobody. I then started to think about my own university days (yes I can remember that far back even if it was in the last century) and when we all moved into Halls of Residence. How much did we know about the people we shared a flat with? Zip, nada, nichts, rien. Any one of my flatmates could have been hiding a whole closet full of skeletons for all I knew. We just had to get on with living together. There was only one person from our flat that was slightly dodgy and he had callers all hours of the day and night with a slightly aromatic smell of smoke emanating from his room if you get my drift. Anyway enough of my reminisces about my long lost youth and back to the review I do go. Although I didn’t warm to any of the characters, there were only a couple of them that really irritated me to the point of wanting to slap them with a wet dish cloth for certain reasons. As for the rest of the characters I neither hated them or liked them.
It didn’t take me long at all to get into this book. In fact I was hooked on it from the moment I read the synopsis never mind from when I started to read the book itself. I knew by the time I reached the end of the prologue that ‘The Roommates’ was going to be one of those rare books that I would be unable to put to one side. How right was I? I was spot on. The book came along at the right sort of time for me. I was feeling lousy, my back was killing me and I needed a distraction. Well ‘The Roommates’ certainly distracted me and then some. For the length of time I was reading the book I forgot all about the pain and how rubbish I felt. I couldn’t bear to be parted from this book. Whilst I was reading this story I had my own theories as to who had done what and to whom and I had to keep reading to see if I was going to be proven correct or not. The pages seemed to turn quicker and quicker as my desperation to find out what happened steadily grew and grew. I usually have the attention span of a gnat and I am easily distracted but not in this case. My focus was on the book and on the book alone. In fact the world outside could have ended and I would have known nothing about it because I was so focused on the book.
‘The Roommates’ is brilliantly written but then I wouldn’t expect anything else from Rachel Sargeant. She is an extremely talented author, who certainly knows how to grab your attention from the start. Once she has that attention she will not release it until the moment you have finished the last word on the last page. The story starts off slowly but much like a snowball rolling down a hill, the story gathers momentum and leads to a tense and dramatic conclusion. Rachel certainly knows how to keep your interest by keeping the characters intriguing, the story fresh and by playing with your mind a bit. Rachel writes so realistically and uses such vivid descriptions that I really did feel as though I lived in that flat and that I was part of the story myself.
Reading ‘The Roommates’ was much like being on a scary and unpredictable rollercoaster ride with more twists and turns than you would find on a ‘Snakes & Ladders’ board. At times I almost dreading turning the page for fear of what was awaiting me over the page. I then gave myself a bit of a kick because I realised that if I had any hope of discovering how the story concluded then of course I had to keep reading.
In short, Rachel Sargeant has done it again and she has written one heck of a fantastic book that had me totally gripped and on the edge of my seat. I will definitely be reading more of Rachel’s work in the future. Here’s hoping that we don’t have too long to wait. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*. -
I found this a great read. My first by Rachel Sargeant and definitely not my last.
Told from the perspective of four people, sharing first year accommodation at University. Four girls from very different backgrounds, trying to get along the best they can when they really don’t know anything about each other. That horrible feeling of being the newbie was in my stomach. They all seem to be hiding something too.
Imogen, or Imo as she likes to be known. Studying German and Business. She seems to have something that’s making her nervous. We find out little by little what it is, and why she has a reason to feel this way.
Amber, a blonde from the Home Counties (or is she?), studying Theatre Studies. She behaves very strangely at times and the other girls are wondering just what to believe about some of the things she says.
Phoenix, studying Mechanical Engineering. She is keeping her background hidden.
Tegan, studying Business Studies. A rich girl with a privileged background. She already has an entrepreneurial spirit. She drives a Mini convertible.
There is another roommate, Riku, a man. They rarely see him and he has parcels constantly arriving at the flat. The girls all wonder what he’s up to.
The girls attend a few Freshers' Week activities and sign up to things that students do. When Amber goes missing on this first week Imo is very worried and starts investigating and is suspicious of everything. Tegan and Phoenix not so much, they wonder why she is caring so much about someone she’s only just met.
There is a mysterious man who they keep seeing too, is he a stalker?
Imaginations run wild.
The last few chapters were totally unputdownable as the race to find Amber neared conclusion, the roommates finally got some answers.
Beautifully written and very easy to read, I felt like I was there on campus with them.
An intriguing and suspenseful story that I highly recommend.
Thanks to the author, Harper Collins and NetGalley for the review copy in which I give my honest opinion.

Do you really know the people you live with?
THEY LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE
University is supposed to be the best time of your life. But Imo’s first week is quickly going from bad to worse.
YOU SHARE EVERYTHING
A stalker is watching her flat, following her every move, and Imo suspects that her new roommates are hiding dark secrets…
BUT DO YOU TRUST THEM?
When one of them suddenly disappears, the trauma of Imo’s recent past comes hurtling back to haunt her. And she begins to realise just how little she knows about the people she lives with…
The Roommates follows the story of four girls starting their first year at university and sharing a flat together. Imo (Imogen), Tegan, Amber and Phoenix and they each have something in their past that they are loathe to share with the others, but as they start to settle in and get acquainted they open up to one another and then one of them goes missing......
The beginning of this book is very busy with lots going on with each character and it was hard to keep up to begin with but, as each of their stories began to unfold, things started to make sense and everything finally fell into place. Each of the girls had very differing personalities, Imo was fighting the demons of her recent past, Tegan was very aloof, Amber seemed to be on another planet for most of the time and Phoenix, who kept her true self hidden, but the most important thing was, that when one of them disappeared, the others all came together, somewhat reluctantly at first, but together all the same and were determined to find her, come what may, which showed how important they had all come to mean to each other and I love how the author portrayed that. The story is told from all four perspectives, with the right amount of tense moments to keep us, the readers, occupied and chomping at the bit to see where it was heading. This is another new author for me, I really enjoyed it and have added another one of her books, The Perfect Neighbours, to my tbr pile.
I'd like to thank HarperCollins UK and Netgalley for the auto approval, I will post my review on Goodreads now and Amazon on publication day. -
Thank you to Thank you to Jen from Harper Collins for my invitation to the tour and my copy of the book in return for a fair and honest review.
The book begins with the dropping off at university and as a Mum of two children at university I remembered this heart-rendering moment very well.
Although Imo’s Mother has another reason to find this even more difficult.
The reader finds out very quickly that something has happened in Imo’s life that has changed her forever. She finds herself living with Amber, Tegan and Phoenix who all have their own issues in their lives.
The girls start to explore their university they all start to see a hooded man who seems to pop up everywhere?
Does one of the girls have a stalker or is it something else?
Amber does not come home one evening and Imo has a feeling something untoward has happened to her.
However, she has a huge job in convincing the others of this especially when Amber's Mum turns up to empty her room and says she has gone travelling.
Imo will not let her hunch go and Phoenix and Tegan begin to wonder if she is really not well, but they decide to help her even if it is just to prove her wrong.
I do not want to give anymore away from this great, gripping read. I read the book really quickly and there are some quite dark moments in this book but I had to find out if Imo was right and Amber was in trouble. The book has lots of details about the girls but it is all important to the bigger picture.
I enjoy reading books where I am surprised by the direction the author takes and I was not disappointed by the twists and turns in this story.
Thank you for a really entertaining read!
