The Guests by Margot Hunt

By the time Marlowe Davies and her husband Lee find out that Hurricane Celeste has been upgraded to a category 5 and is headed straight for their home on the Florida coast, it's too late to evacuate. Luckily their mansion has been built to survive and they hunker down with their two children. Just before the storm hits, a boat pulls up to their dock and they feel obligated to give these three strangers shelter. As the storm rages outside, tensions build inside and shocking truths are revealed. 
This is a locked room thriller where the storm takes on a threatening character of its own. The story had plenty of twists and thrills to keep me flipping pages until the end, but I thought the ending was a bit anticlimactic. Overall though it was a great book. 
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
