I've got to say this was a tad weird. How does one get THAT unreliable?

Review to Come

BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 4/5

I enjoyed this book, but I wasn't left as breathless as other Riley Sager books have made me. I just wasn't hooked in the beginning. Once the twist hit, it was more fun.
I didn't really enjoy the unreliable narrator aspect in this. It could be kind of irritating because I wanted to know what was really happening. It was also confusing (which I guess it's supposed to be) as to when something was actually happening versus when it was all a dream. I think the book ...more

After reading Lock Every Door, I was excited to jump into this one. I went into it blind, not wanting anything to possibly be ruined due to the summary, but oh boy. Maybe I should have read more about what this book was about.

Charlie is looking to go back to Ohio and looks at the ride share board on campus to find someone to take her. But, when her mind lingers on the Campus Killer, suspicions begin to rise.

It’s very clear that this is written by a man rather quickly. There is a serial killer ...more

I need publishers to stop giving this guy money.
This book wasn’t just terrible, it was insulting.

This book was highly entertaining. I did feel that the beginning was a little slow however once we got to the action boy did it pick up. Sager really knows how to write a psychological thriller. I actually went into this book blind however I do that all the time. So I really don’t want to give away too much because I think that is the route to take with this book. However you have a young college girl whose roommate is murdered and afterwords she becomes a little unhinged. She ends up going home ...more

I loved every book Riley Sager has written so far except Lock Every Door I just didn’t like the writing style in that book.

I really enjoyed Survive The Night, it was hard to follow at times especial when Charlie would start seeing “Movies” in her head, that got pretty annoying at times especially cause i don’t get the reference.

I didn’t see the twist at the end coming at all.
I know my review is pretty vague but trust me it’s best to go into this book blind all you really need to know is thi ...more

Yo this was so good! Way better than I had hoped and I had high hopes! It’s got the drama, it’s got the characters. Strange moments that make no sense but also complete sense when thinking of the MC. Barely beat and tidy but great because of it. Highly recommend!
