I thought this book was fantastic. I related to the main character because I KNOW how tough it is to be so financially f***** that you have to make decisions you normally wouldn't. Decisions that are screaming RED FLAG but on the other hand you hear nothing but GREEN MONEY 🤑
I felt the pace was good and I truly had no idea where it was going. Normally I can guess what I think the plot of the story is and I had SOME ideas... But when you get to what's really going on... My mouth dropped! Would definitely recommend reading this, and it has me interested in reading more by Sager. I think I'm going to read "The Only One Left" next and then try to finish the Final Girls Support Group... If it's anything like this one... I know it will be worth picking it back up to read!

the main character’s sister is a missing person, has nothing to do with the actual plot itself and it is not resolved. It’s just something brought up a lot.romorel's review against another edition

The hints build comfortably, but unlike other Sager thrillers my experience was simply “being along for the ride”. This book took twists and turns I absolutely did not see coming, but once uncovered made me nod appreciatively at the well paced “Chekhov’s Guns”. The execution was fantastic.
So much so that I’m writing this at 1:50AM on a Thursday and given myself a headache from staying up too late.
Sager’s characters are easy to connect with, though one thing I often notice with his protagonists is that I have no idea what they look like besides being “unremarkable” brunettes.
Overall a very satisfying story.

I could see the plot twist a mile away, nearly figuring it all out before I even got halfway through the book which was odd considering Only One Left kept me guessing until the bitter end... maybe I put too much pressure on this book and comparing it to it's book sibling is wrong to do, but it's impossible for me not to do!
This book, like many thrillers nowadays, was tied up nicely and too quickly.
That being said, the book was good; it kept me entertained and I couldn't put it down, I also didn't find myself skimming as much as I usually do. It didn't scare me, it didn't really freak me out *too* much, but the writing of such a spooky and creepy building was incredible! I also love that it's based on the Dakota since I see that building daily and now it looks so different to me lol!
