Riley Sager is known within the book community for creating dumb heroines who lack the sense of survival and plain common sense. Also, I had no love for the heroine who seemed TSTL( Too-stupid-to-live). The characters were too two-dimensional and archetypal. Admittedly I have read just one other book, but, in Lock Every Door, that was my major complaint. Characters – 4/5įor the first time, I could connect with the characters in a Riley Sager book. Every time I took a break I was be itching to get back to the story. I read this entire book within half a day. It’s obvious that at no point was I bored. I am amazed at how the author could pull off such perfection in pacing. This was a perfect ride at an optimum speed. Neither too fast as to give you a whiplash nor too slow that you drowse off during the ride. And I must say I liked this one better than Lock Every Door which I had given a solid 4⭐s. I have read one other book by Riley Sager, Lock Every Door. It should not be illogical or completely out-of-the-blue, but there’s nothing I revel in more than when the clues are hidden in plain sight and the author reveals it. While I enjoy the occasional guessing & getting rewarded game, I like it better when the author surprises me with the twists. I like it when the author foreshadows in such a way that the guess itself acts as a reward for the reader.īut, one plot twist took me totally by surprise. Mainly because I think the author has foreshadowed it well. Of the three main plot twists in the last act, I caught two of them quite early in the story. Ridden with anxiety, suspicion, and fear heightened by the campus killings, can she survive the night journey back home? forms the crux of the story. The plot thickens when she realizes her meeting the stranger Josh Braxton and his journey towards her destination was not really a coincidence. She hitches a ride with a stranger she meets near her college notice board where she was looking for a driver-companion who could drive her back home. Seeking an escape from her overturned life she impulsively decides to leave the college and go back to her home in Ohio.
