Middle of the Night: A Novel

I loved everything about this book. The exploration of grief and how it affects us as we move through life, living with guilt, and moving on after a tragedy. I loved the suburban vibes and found the story to be incredibly engaging.

Absolutely incredible.
This book hit every emotional and psychological chord I love in a thriller.

It’s heartbreaking in places, tense in others, and beautifully written throughout. Riley Sager builds a story full of grief, memory, fear, and uncertainty — and every single chapter deepens the atmosphere until you’re fully immersed.

The pacing is excellent, the twists land hard, and the emotional beats genuinely got to me. It’s one of those thrillers where the feeling of the story lingers long after the plot is over.

I was hooked the entire time — sitting on the edge of my seat, needing answers, and loving every second.

Favorite quote:
“Too much of childhood is spent being lied to by adults because they think it'll spare your feelings.”

I enjoyed the book! I was not into all the super natural and ghost stuff but otherwise would recommend it.

I think this book was fantastic. It was almost a slow burn. I kind of figured out that the killer but it’s still surprise me with how it happened. I definitely wasn’t expecting that. The author did a good job of keeping the reader on their toes.
