This is probably my second favorite book by Riley Sager, but for me, it still wasn’t as suspenseful as The Last Time I Lied. It was a decent book, but I found it predictable.

Truly terrifying! I had to put the book on the floor one night, so convinced I was of the book's haunting ability that i did not want the book on the bed by me!

Loved this! I was trying to figure out “haunted house or what??” and I was surprised at the end!!

Enjoyed this. I listened to the audiobook because I saw that the story was told between the past and the present from the perspectives of a father and daughter and the narration was excellent. Spooky and atmospheric, with a ton of twists and turns along the way.
