The Guest is a fast-paced thriller that follows a household through a houseguest that overstays their welcome. I have read and greatly enjoyed other B.A. Paris books, but this one wasn't on the same level as past reads. I felt that the twists were not as 'twisty' and were more predictable than I would have liked. Overall the characters were likeable and I enjoyed reading the story, but I was left wanting more of an exciting aspect to the tale.
