RILEY SAGAR, YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS !! 🛐🛐

3.75 stars! Really enjoyed this book! It had great gothic creepy house vibes which is perfect for a thriller. I also never guessed the twist at the end. and the twist just kept twisting!

Definitely put me in the fall bookish mood!!The only reason I didn't rate it higher is there were 2 points in the twist that I thought were kind of unrealistic. But other than that I really enjoyed it! I also liked that the main character is a caregiver. I've never read ab...

My first Riley Sager book and I have mixed feelings. It started off amazing. I loved the first half, especially the eerie horror vibes. But then the second half dragged and wasn't that enjoyable. The characters were all meh but the story was pretty decent. Baker in particular was too annoying. I didn't really connect to any of the characters and thank God for that....

Ok this might be best one yet!! The ending definitely gave me whiplash but I loved every minute of it and had such a BLAST 🤩

PROS AND CONS

Pros: faster pace compared to his previous books that I read (Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied, synopsis trapped my ass, writing wasn't totally asstastic ... I guess....?

Cons: makes no damn sense, repetitive, forced suspense, ending was so buckwild it felt like Sager was trolling
