I was engaged while listening to this book; it's an easy and simple read that helps as a palate cleanser in-between more dense stories. I found this thriller to be too slow for my tastes though, and since I was able to predict several things that were revealed, the slow burn ended up not having much payoff for me. There's potential for a deeper exploration of classism and financial inequality, but it's very on-the-nose to the point where the antagonists become cartoonish.

I don’t usually read Riley Sager books, but when I do, I’m disappointed. Every single time, it feels like déjà vu: paper-thin characters wandering through a plot that mistakes melodrama for suspense. The “twists” are either broadcast a mile away or so implausible they snap the story’s spine. And the writing? Functional, but never atmospheric enough to carry the so-called thrills.At this point, reading Sager feels less like discovering a new thriller and more like signing up for a predictable the...

BRILLIANT, SHOWSTOPPING, JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

i read 13 thrillers in 13 days here's what happened

Moral of the story: Eat the rich.Look at me reading all three books from this author within a month... At the beginning I thought this was going to be my favorite book out of the three but the ending twist made it my least favorite.An apartment sitting job with a very generous salary seems to good to be true for our main character. Mysterious residents, creepy wallpaper and disappearances...Personally I felt like the way the main character was piecing things together was pretty unbelievable and ...

Are you f*cking kidding me?!Unpopular opinion below! I originally wrote a long and detailed review discussing all of my issues with this book. However, I don't want to ruin the experience for other readers who might enjoy this book, so I have cut it down to the main points below.The Good: High level of tension and suspense.The Bad: Everything else!Overall: One big convoluted mess.

Three lalalaa here comes unpopular review alarm, I can hear the ominous soundtrack in my head like Jaws’s approaching, nanana, disappointing, I got so excited, cleared my night to date with this book, but I didn’t like what I got at the end and my husband laughs at me when he is binge watching Stranger Things( at least one of us is happy) stars!!! Oh boy, I usually love Riley Sager’s writing style. I enjoyed “ Final Girls” and literally devoured “Last time I lied” ( as soon as I finished I got m...

Holy shit this book was intense and creepy.

"It certainly doesn't feel cursed. Or haunted. Or any other menacing label you could put on an apartment building. It's comfortable, spacious and, other than the wallpaper, nicely decorated. It's easy to see why Nick and Greta choose to live here. I would certainly stay longer than three months if I could afford to. Which makes it all the stranger that Ingrid chose to leave."Muahahahaha. Mr. "Sager" has done it again folks. I'm always wary picking up the forecasted blockbusters of the year, but ...
