Never Trust A Stranger.
Holy Moly PLOT TWIST! I did not see that coming. I thought I knew who the killer was several times…. Nope. I was wrong! So wrong!
"The Stranger" is an absolute rollercoaster of suspense and thrills that will keep you guessing until the very end. The setting—a remote motel during a snowstorm—perfectly captures the sense of isolation and danger. From the moment Tibby and Walker are stranded together, you can feel the tension building.
The characters are wonderfully complex, with each one harboring their own secrets. This creates a dynamic and unpredictable storyline, making it impossible to predict who can be trusted and who is a threat. The twists and turns are expertly crafted, leading to jaw-dropping revelations that leave you reeling.
The writing is atmospheric and immersive, plunging you into the freezing, snow-laden landscape and the eerie, shadowy corridors of the motel. The author masterfully balances the unfolding mystery with chilling horror elements, creating an adrenaline-pumping experience.
The pacing is perfect, with just the right amount of buildup and climax, keeping you on the edge of your seat without a moment of dullness. The ending is explosive and satisfying, tying together all the intricate threads.
If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and horror, "The Stranger" is a must-read. Its gripping narrative, intense atmosphere, and well-drawn characters make it a five-star book that you'll struggle to put down. Prepare for a sleepless night—this one will haunt you long after you've turned the final page.
