Some doors are better left closed—a spine-chilling horror novel from a new talent

In Barrington House, an upmarket block in London, there is an empty apartment. No one goes in and no one comes out, and it's been that way for 50 years, until the night a watchman hears a disturbance after midnight and is drawn to investigate. What he experiences is enough to change his life ...

This was the second book I picked up of Adams and I have to say I loved it! This is my 3rd time reading and I still get totally freaked out by it. The characters are so intense and creepy. He has a way with words that have you seeing things in the dark. Apartment 16 is just terrifying if you love horror I would highly recommend this or any other of his books. Following both Seth and Apryl as they discover the horror behind apartment 16 and the mixed characters at Barrington house gives you chills. He has a way of developing his characters so you are right there with them. This a strange book but so so good!

I haven't read anything before about World War II from the German perspective and therefore was very interested to see how this is portrayed from that angle and whilst I found this book definitely provided insight of what it was like from Raffeiner's eyes, from what I have read in other books and seen in documentary's, I'm not sure how much was "missed", "forgotten" or "locked away" as the memories are too painful or too awful to talk about.

This is however a valuable read if you want to get some idea of what it was like for a "simple" German soldier; the vivid descriptions of the hardships of being on the Eastern frontline and how luck played a huge part in his life are well documented and it also gives a really good account of Raffeiner's tough early years growing up and the choices he had to make.

Whilst this isn't what I feel a comprehensive book on this subject, it is an important individual and personal story that is captivating and I need to thank Pen & Sword Books and NetGalley for a copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
