kylieduncan's review against another edition
I really enjoyed the first part of this book where the main focus is the stalking and obsession. I was ready to rate the book 4 stars.
By about 2/3 of this book I was thinking to myself WTF did I just read - in the worst way possible. By 80% of the book I decided I couldn’t force myself to finish the book. I’ve never considered not finishing a book I’m this far along with but I don’t think there is any way this book could redeem itself. The paranormal essence came out of nowhere and it was like I was reading an entirely different book than I started with. I’ve never been so annoyed by a transition in a book.
So many useless details in the first part of the book that are still not relevant by 86% of the book. I’m calling it. Based on the other reviews I cannot even bring myself to care about the rest of this book.

There’s no such thing as happily ever after. There’s only happy for a short period of time before everything falls apart.

My third Sager thriller since December, this may be my favourite in terms of technical construction. The plot builds steadily, opening up questions for the reader early on that will keep the reader guessing til the end.
Sager delivers excellent and satisfying twists, and for once asupernatural element that I hadn’t encountered in his previous works. He also has a knack for compelling sexual tension between his protagonist and their love interest. I just wish we’d gotten a kiss .
I can say with certainty that Riley Sager (Todd Ritter) is one of my favourite writers, and I look forward to reading more of his work.

This story was really wild! There were lots of twists and turns. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. I knocked it down from five stars, because the sci-fi element being introduced so last minute kind of threw me for a loop. I didn’t dislike it I just didn’t expect it because we were already about 300 pages in, and there weren’t science-fiction elements before that.
