The Guest List: Psychological Thriller
Diana Brown The Guest A Psychological Thriller Merging Airbnb Realities with a Chilling TwistA crumbling estate. A guesthouse riddled with secrets. A past that refuses to stay buried.
When Emma Sinclair inherits Holloway House, she believes it’s her chance to turn a neglected mansion into a thriving Airbnb. But running a short-term rental business isn’t as easy as she imagined. Between unreliable bookings, mounting debts, demanding guests, and the suffocating pressure of keeping it afloat—she’s already teetering on the edge.
Then, her first guest disappears without a trace.
Nathaniel Carter checks in, but there’s no record of him ever being there. His name vanishes from the system, his belongings gone—yet he’s still watching her from the shadows.
Before Emma can make sense of it, a new booking appears—for the very same room Nathaniel occupied. This time, the reservation is for her.
As whispers seep through the walls, doors refuse to stay locked, and guests seem to vanish into thin air, Emma realizes she isn’t just fighting to keep her Airbnb business alive. She’s fighting to survive.
The house isn’t just haunted by ghosts—it’s haunted by business failures, financial burdens, and the crushing isolation of a dream slipping through her fingers. But Holloway House isn’t just any property… it decides who stays and who leaves.
Some guests leave. Others never do.
Blending real-life struggles of Airbnb hosts—from void periods and nightmare guests to financial desperation—with a chilling psychological thriller, The Guest List is a gripping, atmospheric novel filled with suspense, haunting romance, and shocking twists.
Perfect for fans of Riley Sager, Simone St. James, and Sarah Pearse, this book will make you question every key you hand over.
