The Roommate

Gabriela was kind, funny, and effortlessly charming—the sort of best friend you trusted with your spare keys and your darkest secrets. They shared everything: morning coffee rituals, lazy Sunday movie marathons, even the stray cat they rescued together.

But one rainy evening shatters that illusion.

Violet returns home early to find Gabriela in the kitchen, calmly wiping blood from her hands. Her excuse is simple—a clumsy cut while cooking. But the rag in her pocket drips scarlet, and the metallic tang in the air tells a different story.

Violet forces a smile, pretending to believe her. But when she later discovers a hidden phone filled with encrypted messages, the truth hits harder than any lie—Gabriela is a contract killer. Worse still, she isn’t killing for money or pleasure. She’s killing because she’s being controlled… and her next target is someone Violet loves.

Now Violet faces an impossible choice: betray her faith and help Gabriela break free from her shadowy handlers, or turn her in and risk becoming their next victim.

Friendship. Loyalty. Morality.

When the person you trust most is a murderer, how far will you go to save them—and yourself?

Perfect for fans of The Roommate’s dark psychological tension, The Silent Patient’s chilling secrets, and You’s dangerous obsessions, this is a compulsive, nerve-twisting thriller that asks the ultimate question: How well do we really know the people we let into our lives?
