A compulsive page-turner with high stakes and a heroine you find yourself absolutely rooting for' Gytha Lodge Charlie Jordan is being driven across the country by a serial killer. Survive the Night publishes June 29th in the USA, and you can preorder it on Amazon or through Bookshop.***THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** 'One of the most addictive thrillers I've read this year. Overall, a solid thriller and another win for Sager, 4 stars from me!ĭeath, Death of parent, Grief, Kidnapping, Murder, Panic attacks/disorders, Suicide attempt, Blood, Torture While that alone won’t usually make me take off a star, I felt that the motives of this killer weren’t fleshed out enough and we didn’t get enough of their backstory. One thing that I didn’t love about this book: The imagery of the climax was very spooky and well drawn out – I could see the place in my mind, feel the flames from the fire, and felt frantic right along with Charlie.This one had me a little creeped out at times, questioning what every noise was in my house as I read it in bed at night. I felt very tense while reading it (especially the second half), and if I don’t feel tense while reading a thriller, something is wrong.This state of confusion kept me engaged and also kept me from guessing what was happening next. I had moments where I wasn’t sure if what I was reading was really happening in the story, or if it was a “movie in Charlie’s mind” (basically, hallucinations she has throughout the book). I felt like I knew her, I wanted to be her friend, and like I needed to give her a big ole hug. The character building we experienced with Charlie.I’ve read all but one of his books (haven’t read Home Before Darkyet) and have enjoyed them all, including this one. It didn’t take long for me to figure out the good guys, the nice guys, and the in between guys, and that just made thriller reading…boring.īUT – I make exceptions for Riley Sager. Actually, I used to read a LOT of them, to the point where I got way too good at guessing the ending.
I am the first to admit that thrillers are not my thing, and not because I don’t like them. Click the following links to read the book synopsis on The StoryGraphor Goodreads.Ĭlick here to purchase your own birthdate candle and use my code JENNA10 to save 10%!
