Return to Midnight by Emma Dues

5.0
I absolutely loved this book. It's almost unbelievable that it's a debut. It really sucks you in, and once I started reading I just couldn't stop.
I really enjoyed the way it was written. A well written unreliable narrator is one of my favorite things. Being kept in the dark about the truth for most of the book really amps up the suspense, and Margot is unreliable as all heck. She makes the weirdest choices sometimes but that really plays up how sketchy she is and it works well.
Absolutely everyone is suspicious. You're given crumbs of truth throughout, but it's so hard to tell fact from her imagination that you're just along for the ride. The dual timelines are 🤌🤌🤌. There's present day and one starting 17 hours before the massacre and then leading up to it that just really ties the whole book together. I made the mistake of starting this at night and I definitely got spooked a few times reading this in my own house it's just that immersive.
