Riley Sager

4.01 AVERAGE


Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book via netgalley, however all opinions are my own.

The instant I started reading this book, I knew it was right up my alley. It was giving me major "haunting on Hill House" (the tv version) vibes and I was excited to see what the story was behind this house. I don't scare easily, especially when it comes to books so when I was reading a certain scene at two in the morning and finding myself physically uncomfortable, I was really impressed. The twists kept me guessing. I'm happy to say that I guessed one or two but NEVER saw some of the other developments coming! This was my first Riley Sager but it will definitely not be my last!

This was a good haunted house book. It surprised me several different times when I thought I knew where it was going.

Az első, de biztosan nem az utolsó Riley Sager könyvem! Paranormális pszichothriller egy kísértetházban, pörgős fejezetekkel, teljesen berántott a történet. Tetszett a két idősíkban futó cselekmény, és a történet felépítése, ahogy fokozatosan vált egyre ijesztőbbé és félelmetesebbé.

Nothing profound or life changing but a very solid novel, easy to read and follow and pretty enjoyable.

My favorite book of 2021! I finished it in a day and a half, mostly due to the fact that 2/3 of it I listened to as an audiobook during work. But I was so hooked that I checked out the physical copy from my library and flew through the last third in a couple hours. The writing, the characters, the stories (both the Book and Maggie’s POV) are all phenomenal. Gripping, heartbreaking, intense, and even a bit creepy. Absolutely loved it!
