I would have not pegged this book to be a paranormal thriller. That twist was crazy. About to pick up another Riley Sager! Between him and Freida McFadden I’m obsessed!

It was just okay. Kind of far fetched and the ending was strange.

I recently finished reading The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager, and it was a thrilling and captivating read from start to finish. He is one of my absolute favorite authors. The dude can write a thriller!

The story follows the protagonist, who retreats to her family’s secluded lake house to escape her troubled past. However, she soon discovers that the place holds dark secrets. She becomes entangled in a web of suspense and danger as she delves deeper into the truth.

Sager’s writing style is engaging and keeps you on the edge. The pacing is perfect, with well-timed twists and turns that will leave you guessing until the end. The characters are well-developed and relatable, adding depth to the narrative.

What I particularly enjoyed about this book is the atmospheric setting. The house across the lake is described in such vivid detail that it becomes a character, adding to the sense of unease and tension.

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers with a touch of mystery, I highly recommend The House Across the Lake. It’s a gripping and suspenseful read that will keep you hooked until the final page.
