The Dream Job Kindle Edition
No one in her new life can know who she was.
No one from her old life can know where she is now.
Drowning in debt, Lark is desperate to land a job—any job. When she finds herself at an interview for a mysterious company offering her an exorbitant salary, she jumps at the chance.
But things aren’t quite what they seem...
She soon learns of the company’s peculiar hiring process. Locked in a luxury cabin with five strangers who go only by their code names, Lark begins to question exactly what it is she signed up for. The company, riddled with secrets and led by a cryptic boss known only as Mr. X, has strange rules and even stranger challenges for their candidates. After each day’s competition, the candidates gather around the dinner table to eat, drink, and spill their darkest secrets.
When Lark sees something she shouldn’t, she begins to ask questions, but soon gets a warning to stop. It’s obvious she’s in danger, but why? What does the company want? How much can she trust the others in the house?
Trapped in the remote house with no technology allowed, Lark realizes she must take drastic measures to find out the truth.
The job of her dreams may cost her life...

I think I saw a review prior to reading The Dream Job which stated this had been the best book they’d read all year.
Yeah, sure, ok … I thought. I’ve seen the same response elsewhere & very rarely does the story live up to the honor/hype.
To my great pleasure — this story, written by new-to-me, Kiersten Modglin — was an absolute joy to read!
Even though there’s not much “joyousness” woven into the plot of The Dream Job.
I only wish I hadn’t read it, cover to cover, overnight. I wish I could relish this story for a longer period. DEFINITELY a second edition, carrying the tale forward. So much potential for a short series!
The book is a bit …. dark, at times. But it fits the situation the characters are in. The narrative.
Though I loved every bit of this extremely well written story, I will admit to getting quite frustrated with the main character at times. I even began not to like her very much; found myself rolling my eyes often in regard to her …. ways.
But! I trusted the process, that there’d be a reason in/near the end for the annoying bits. I could clearly sense some of the over the top behavior on the part of this character was particularly purposeful. And … well — no one likes a spoiler, right?? So I won’t say more than my eye rolling workout was all ultimately worth it. Lol ;)
Strong, rich, colorful, & detailed world building. Character development was absolutely top notch. The twists, turns, conclusion — sublimely enjoyable.
Just such an intriguing storyline. Extraordinarily creative. Quite different than many other “psychological thrillers” that are out today.
Ok — you’ve read my writing for long enough! Lol You’re wasting precious time here when you could be diving into the 1st pages of this addictive story.
Just get it. Read it. Love it!
I guarantee you’ll be just as happy you did as I am.
Also! This is my very 1st Kiersten Modglin read. I am now 1000% a new fan of her work. Going to go right onto another of her stories next. My fingers are crossed it will be written just as well as The Dream Job has been (I totally suspect it will be!).
Such a fun & satisfying read!!
Autumn Sanderson realizes right away that the job she is competing for is, to say the least, unconventional. For one thing, because she was connected to the interview by an outside employment agency, she doesn’t even know the name of the company, the name of the employer, or the requirements of the job. All she learns from the first interview is that she’d basically need to be available to do whatever’s needed at a moment’s notice and that she’d have to maintain extreme “discretion.” Though it seems shady, Autumn has a mountain of debt, a sick mother, and a desperation for a job in New York sooner than later. The whopping salary and the promise for stability for her and her mom is hard to pass up.
Despite her reservations, Autumn agrees to partake in a week-long interview process, wrapped in a luxury vacation experience, in which she and five other candidates will try and prove themselves to be the one person chosen for the job. Things aren’t what they seem, and it’s quite the journey for Autumn as she seeks to decipher how deep the rabbit hole goes and whether or not her life is in danger.
I did figure something out around the halfway point. I wasn’t completely right, but I was in the ballpark. With that, I was not completely surprised with the twist at the end. Despite that, the wrap-up was very satisfying. I wish there had been more detail around some of the aftermath, but there was enough to connect the dots as to how things would go for the future.
You need to read it, to find out why.
I love how this was written, the characters, and especially, how it all comes together.
I know this is a vague review. Take what YOU will from it. We all see things differently, and act on things differently.
Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
Would you go? Guess I am a scaredy cat because I would not, but reading this book had intrigued me to the point....well, maybe I would. As usual a Modglin book is a "cant put down" book. You need to read this one!!

All in all, a good, solid, twisty suspense with a pleasing outcome.
The surprise promised all through the book is such a bummer. Regret reading through all the boring narration only to see the end fizzling out.
