This probably was my least favorite Riley Sager book, but I did enjoy it for the most part. There were flashback and present day chapters, but sometimes the flashbacks would be in the present chapters which was confusing. The ending was a let down for me as well. Glad I read it, but not sure if I would recommend this particular Riley Sager book to someone wanting to start reading his books.

This is the third book I've read from Riley Sager and it's probably my third favorite. That being said I still enjoyed reading it. Middle of the Night is a great book to read if you're reading for atmosphere or if you're on a camping trip. It gives the best outside at night in the middle of summer vibes, and to me personally, it also gives stranger things and IT vibes. If this book was a tv show/movie I'd binge it for the mystery and nostalgia. It is definitely a slow burn but it picks up in the last 100 or so pages. Mostly predictable but still had a good twist that wrapped things up nicely in the end.

This one had a slow start but I was still interested by the mystery and how we’d end up getting there. I’m kind of conflicted about this book because I did enjoy reading it and I was entertained, but some things were predictable and something’s were just strange and out of place. Like what about Johnny?The whole drug overdose seemed like it was just put there for shock value or something. It did not make the characters actions seem more reasonable. I did like Henry though and the kids in the flashbacks were written well, I could believe that they were making dumb kid decisions and having the emotions they felt.
The twists felt predictable and while I stayed engaged I didn’t find myself excited to pick this one up. Good but not great.
