Nothing like starting another book at work because you forget the one audiobook you were working on. But I'm growing to be a big Riley Sager fan. Their writing style just pulls me in right away. Even though this is only my second book I've read by the author, but I do like the alternating timelines between present and past. The past tells the story through the father's eyes about what happened at this one house they had bought. The present is told through the daughter's point of view who doesn't believe anything her father has written in his book. But the twist is that she actually doesn't remember anything that has happened in the house. Only the things the book has told her had happened. So after inheriting the house, she begins her own investigation to figure out what really happened. From what I gathered so far in this book, we are to figure out what was real in the book and what was not. Also we have this seed planted in our mind right away that the daughter's parents don't want her to go back to the house ever. She even is made to promise that she would never go there and of course she breaks the promise. Things are already getting a little weird but I'm ready to figure out the mystery behind this house.

I want to continue my fairytale retelling, but this book has me hooked. We are basically trying to solve the truth of the house along with our main character. Strange things are happening while she is there and she doesn't want to believe that the book is true. She has been rationalizing everything going on in the book but there are some things that she can't explain. Also she is learning that not everything in the book is true. Like the cemetery in the forest. There is a cemetery but it is a pet cemetery. No bodies buried there, but that is the least of her problems. I guess the stain in the kitchen was hiding something even more sinister than a nest of snakes. You'll have to read to find out about that. But the book is getting really good and it is getting hard to put down. I have a feeling that this house is hiding more than what is found in the kitchen and I'm willing to find out what it is.

This book's ending is full of twists that I don't know what to tell you. The secrets that get revealed in the ending is mind blowing. Of course we find out that the book the main character's father wrote has some truth to it, but he only did that to make the book feel more believable. The reason why he wrote the book was a bit of a shock to me. But you are going to have to read this book to find out. Also the missing girl is found but sadly not alive. So then on top of trying to find out if the house is really haunted, you have to figure out who killed the missing girl. Which is where all of the twists come in. I was so glued at the book at this point that I got mad whenever someone tried to take me away from it. I guess it is safe to say that Riley Sager hasn't disappointed me with their book so far. I can't wait to get my hands on another one of their books. I do highly recommend this book to those that like a little bit of mystery and a little bit of suspense. This book is getting a full five out of five stars from me.
