The House Across the Lake: A Novel

I went into this book with extremely low expectations and I have to say, I had a better experience that I had imagined. I can’t say that I’ve even remotely enjoyed reading a book by Riley Sager since Home Before Dark (which I rated three stars) and I have read all of his books.

I have a theory, if you liked Lock Every Door, then you’ll hate this book and vice versa. I loathed Lock Every Door the reveal did absolutely nothing for me. While I was reading LED, I was hoping for it to have a reveal similar to this book.

Also, I think I enjoy books that take place near a lake, especially if there’s a serial killer plot line.

I was really into it until I wasn't. If the whole possession part had been left out and I would have loved it. The other twists were believable. Either that or write the possession in a different/better way? I almost DNF and I have never done that before!

This book left me haunted for a few days. I definitely didn’t think it would take the turn it did. There were some things I seen coming but definitely not the big twist.

Wow! Awesome book! Relatable characters, storyline hooked me early and surprises along the way.

Overall thoughts was that it is a good book. The twist with the supernatural/paranormal (whatever you would like to call it) was a surprise but a welcome one!
