I gave this book a perfect 5 stars. I've heard great things about Riley Sager and I can say, they were true.
The writing is incredible! Easy to follow but very immersive. The writing was so intense, which is a plus because it is a thriller book, that I had to stop reading and breathe before continuing. This book was hard to put down and hard to pick back up because of the intensity and emersion. The world building was perfect. The descriptions were perfect. It was like watching a movie.
The characters were very diverse and when they were on the page you saw their personalities, their flaws and their trauma not just their appearance.
The TWISTS and TURNS almost gave me a heartattck. Just when you think you finally understand... You don't. There was something new at every single turn. At times I had to put down the book, scream, freak out and it have me anxiety - the kind you want from a thriller book. I normally read cozy books because my anxiety can't handle suspense and this book had a LOT of it but it was worth it so I kept reading.
This is the type of book you can't tell someone about, they need to read it and experience it for themselves and I'd recommend it to any Thriller reader.
Amazing author. Amazing concept. Amazing book. An easy 5 stars.

The twists in this book, oh my they most certainly aren't ones that you would completely guess. Some are obvious, some come hit you in the face, like Hope End Falling from the cliffs.
If you like thrillers I really recommend this one, it's absolutely amazing and I can see why it's so popular.
This would absolutely make one amazing film or TV series.
When I finished the last few chapters, I'd shed tears, sat moving constantly, ignored everyone and was left speechless.
I think i found a new favourite 😍

This was just phenomenal and mindblowing. This is probably the first book that truly brought me to understand what to be mindblown means.
The only thing I can think of that I wanted clarified is what was up with Detective Vick- he worked there at the same time Kit’s dad did but I do not recall any part where we heard more after Kit said that he should be called right before the confrontation with her dad

just imagine a meme where the person is saying "mind blown" with the most gobsmacked wtf is even going on expression on their face and that's me at the end of this book
I just .... I mean. I get it, I see where you're going with this, but also, I mean, really? That's what you're going to do?
Lots of twisty twists and even when you think you know exactly where it's going, you really don't (although you might for the most part but believe me you don't fully) (and it's so worth it)
super atmospheric, super creepy, super near-impossible to put down, super here for this

Kit also has her own secrets, a past woven with a mysterious death. Together, Sager has tangled together a dark story with many possibilities and tension that will keep you reading late into the night. The steady pace of unravelling the truth escalates into a stunning conclusion, with the final chapters being nothing short of a rollercoaster of answers. A dramatic story in every way, this is an atmospheric book perfect for stormy nights.
