Started listening to this one on a ride up to Buffalo with my fiancée. There’s nothing like a long drive and a new book. 

I will preface another Sager review by saying that I absolutely loved Home Before Dark. It creeped me out while reading alone at night, and that’s all it took. He’s been an auto-buy BOTM choice for me since. 

This book—aside from my selecting the wrong title and updating it multiple times—doesn’t really have that many locked doors. For someone so scared, she locks the apartment door…then sleeps on the couch when she could have presumably slept in the bedroom…and also locked that door. Maybe locked the bedroom door, then slept in the tub? Locking the bathroom door too?

Joking aside, this one felt pretty meh right up until the climax for me. It wasn’t that I wasn’t enjoying it, it just felt very basic for the majority of it. Sager has a way of shaking things up though, and I did find the ending to be both a good set of twists, and satisfying.  

Personally a 4/5* for me. My third Sager read.
