OK so 5 stars plus!! This book was fabulous. I found the ending very satisfying. Sager wrote a masterpiece I believe. As a writer myself I think he ticked all the marks of a great novel. I've only read 2 other Riley Sager books but this makes me want to read them all even though I hear there are horror elements which I don't like. Great video!! Well done Heather!!

I'm at the halfway point and thinking, because of Billy's interest and belief in ghosts, he either is a ghost or followed a ghost. I also suspected Russ because he was a third wheel to Ethan and Billy and he had the cammo and orange tent in his sporting goods store, I can definitely see the possibility of Ethan hallucinating the whole thing. I really hope that isn't what it turns out to be. It would be that frowned apart trope in fiction of "it was alla dream." Knowing Riley Sager this could go anywhere!

Oh my gosh, panic attack! No you are not alone, maybe just not a purple shampoo moment! Yes! I have been waiting for your review of this book! So many people just did not like the pacing and called the book boring. I really liked having all the character's secrets revealed slowly, especially Ethan's. When the camera kept picking up something..... I was scared! I also gave it a five star. I vote for Ruth Ware, but I will enjoy any read along you share! Thanks for sharing!

I so appreciate all the work it must take to do these videos. I'd love a read-along for Turn of the Key--haven't read it but it's on my shelf. Started reading Middle of the Night yesterday and can't put it down! About 1/2 way now. I am an older/retired gal so no childcare or job to distract me from my obsessive reading LOL YES! I agree with the types of thrillers you like. It's why I prefer psychological domestic suspense. Those unrealistic endings bug me. It's why Daisy Darker annoyed me at the end.

Yes to the reading vlog!

I've heard so many good things about The Frozen River! I just bought it and will read it next--right after Middle of the Night which I just started for your read along. Love Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks. House of Glass is jaw dropping.

The ending honestly just killed the whole book. The whole time I was reading I was telling me husband NO MATTER WHAT I’m giving it 5 starts I absolutely love it… also being a full time thriller reader I couldn’t figure out the ending so that made me really like it, but now I know why I couldn’t figure it out is so stupid and I was just expecting it to be anyone else other then the person it was. I just found it ridiculous

***SPOILERS*** Cheers! I enjoy a cold mango beer. Loved this book. Just finished it. Kudos to you for figuring out Daisy was dead, I did not catch the clues and was knocked over when it comes out. I sort of felt cheated and deceived at that. I did figure out early on that Nana wasn't dead. I suspected Conor at one point and his dad at another point. Gave it 5 stars. Love Alice Feeney!

Have you heard of the book Ask for Andrea by Noelle Ihli? I feel like you would like it. It’s one of my more recent thrillers that I like a lot.

As someone that's not a great reader, I kind of appreciate the juvenile plain straightforward style of writing It makes it easier to understand and follow compared to other writers who use all of these Complex words that quite frankly, no one in the Real world uses it's like the writer is trying too hard and forgets It's the 21st Century an not the 18th century

Wasn’t it obvious when Claire remarked how Lindsey’s corpse was still warm? 😂

My absolute favorite author! Can’t put her books down. 💝

Totally agree. Subscribed❤

I just finished this...good book. Was fun to read.

New subscriber! Love a good thriller!

I need to get we used to live here it sounds so spooky! Can’t wait to read Riley sagers new book. I own remarkably bright creatures my sister read it before me and has been begging me to read it

I’m 26 and just getting back into reading after basically not reading any recreational novels since I was 13 years old. I like that these books are easily digestible in terms of reading not that I am vocabularily challenged but jumping into reading a much more challenging book might snooze me or push me away. Thanks Frida for the enjoyable exciting read. Btw … that damn sandalwood aftershave…. The real culprit of Brooke’s madness.

Please make a full video on “Middle of The Night” because I loved it so much too and I need to see my gang lolz

Okay Heather, it makes sense. A July video in August. I'm there with you! May I first ask you your reason for the way you arrange your books. It looks like a plan! I have had the most incredible experience from BOTM I think because I am purchasing lots from the backlist. I am flying through The Invitation and loving it, my next is God of the Woods which keeps getting good ratings. I absolutely loved Middle of the Night. When he set those cameras up in the yard....! I am hoping for you that September gives you a choice you will be excited about. Thank you for sharing!! Elizabeth PS I'm getting We Used To Live Here based on your review. Thanks!!

I also DNF’d David Ellis and also shocked. I tortures myself for 3 days! Excited to check out some of these others. You’re the person who recommended The Enigma of Room 622 and OMG I loved that book!

Oh! I liked The Unraveling a little more than you did. I did the same thing, though. I looked up her backlist and wasn’t surprised to find they were all romance books. So the scenes in TU made sense. I really hope she writes more psychological thrillers WITHOUT the romance. I’m not interested in her backlist at all.

I'm in grad school and I want to make more time to read my books Does anyone have tips for me??? How to stay on track to relax and not just make gradschool my whole life of anxiety Love your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love your videos and book picks! I also am not a Frieda McFadden fan. Just not for me. Your bookshelves look beautiful. I would not have noticed the difference LOL I love the look of shelves of BOTM club books with their insignia.

I wouldn’t categorize Credence as a smut 😊 it was an unusual, interesting bit (lot) disturbing but I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not for everyone I did like it though ☺️ The opinion of this book is so entertaining 😂

Credence? Uncle, cousins having sex? I think I’ll pass! Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I got “Incidents around the House” from BOTM and hated it the one POV is from an 8 year old, who navigated us through, drugs, alcohol, cheating etc… It could have been so much better, just add another POV and make it more cohesive. Now this month” Like Mother Like Daughter” OMG! Sooooooo bad, boring, the audiobook? Save your money, it’s horrible!!!! Nor thrilled with BOTM and their thriller/horror books, just mediocre …

I was wondering where you were e😂 maybe even stalking your Goodreads…. 😂😂 Happy to see you are back Momma of 4 here, my youngest graduated High School in June, time flies! Enjoy those babies! Back to the video …

This one and “the Last One Left” are great. Very reread-able as well.

Missing your vids! Hopefully your summer is going well!

I only figured out for brief second who the killer was, I talked myself out it,

Coming back after reading this book. I thought it was Jessica speaking to the psychiatrist and absolutely believed all of the lies that were being told about her mother and her husband. I gave this a 4.5 just because it was such a dark subject. I'll never forget the six--toes baby though!

***spoilers*** I love your thoughts on the diary entries! I thought she was covering for her abusive boyfriend. I loved when I found out what was behind the lies in the diary. I thought the characters were well developed. I've just started reading Ruth Ware, this is my 3rd. I like her writing. I was frustrated by the ending and how Conor ended up the hero. He was an abusive murderer and I don't think the women would have been convicted of killing him. Interesting that only the women were left.

One of Kristen Hannah‘s other books, Winter Garden, is the book that took me from a thriller reader to historical fiction reader. I still love a good thriller, but historical fiction is where it’s at!

I thought the same with the psychiatrist , until the end I am like wait oh shoot

I loved this book, just finished it today

The book made me go look on RUclips for information on nurses that served. Awesome book in my opinion.

Spoiler comment warning: I agree with you that the ending of this book really ruined a lot of the rest of the read. I loved the fact Owen overcame his own social issues, got his job back and his girlfriend back. That part warmed my heart. The part of the ending that upset me was Alicia "hiding her out" - very weird for a psychologist to do. The fact that Alicia knew what was going on the whole time and she doesn't reveal that she knew he didn't do it. Let him sit in jail all that time. I hated Ronan also, but the ending suggested - the last 2 pages that he could have been involved too. Really weird. Plus, the fact that why would Saffyre suddenly go hang out with Alicia for 2 weeks, when she hated the fact that Alicia was cheating with Ronan and ruining his family life. And the whole thing was just so implausible at the end. Very annoying. I love many of her other books. This is the worst. Ughggh!

I loved this book. It's a slow burn, creepy and being from the UK I can relate to the small dead end town with a mysterious folklore around it.

The whole thing about her son and the wolves I didn't really mind since it only takes up a few sentences. If it had been a bigger part of the story maybe I'd been questioning it. But also I think it was more about how young children typically get fascinated with animals and want to learn all sorts of basic facts that adults may know but are new to children. Leaving the body is a plot contrivance, but for the situation they found themselves in (based on the thinking she was dead) I don't know what one is to expect. They forage on carrying the corpse? Stick it in the dead car? I don't know, I didn't mind it. I read it as more of a setup for a setting where you lose a bit of your humanity in order to do what you need to do to survive. I do appreciate your perspective though, it gave me things to think about. I do wonder though how you dislike so much about this book, but enjoyed never lie, which speaking about repetitiveness, a character's constant reminders about their love of cashmere are all over. And its twist only works if we accept that the first 2/3rds of the book effectively lied to the reader about one of the characters.

Heather, I am two years late to Rock, Paper, Scissors and OH MY GOSH what a twist! I also guessed Robin was the author's daughter, but not the husband's first wife. I'm with you and have moved Alice Feeney ahead of Lisa Jewell. Both brilliant! Loved your review! Thank you for sharing. Elizabeth

This book is less far fetched than a lot of occult thrillers and such. It is far fetched but I would not call it an impossible scenario as we just do not know enough about our world to rule it out.

The whole Cora/Owen twist just didn't make sense to me. Like. . . I just went this isn't thrilling. This is a soap opera. I found this more comedic than thrilling.

Finished in about a day and a half while working. Loved the book. The epilogue had my mind blown. Makes you wonder

****SPOILER ALERT*** I must have missed a detail. It's 15 years later than when they were teenagers. It seems Owen would only be about 18 years old at most.

I also decided to read Credence 😂 I took it with me on holiday but didn’t get the chance to start it because I got hanged up on Magnolia Parks ( obsessed with it)but I’ll try to read it before I watch your July wrap up I’m so curious ☺️

Just finished the audiobook and looooved it 😍

Heather omg you said this was going to be no spoilers and you tell me that she kills her younger sister omgggggg lol

I did enjoy this one girlfriend! I like the Paris Apartment a bit better. You should read The Guest List. But not The Hunting Party - DNF for me lol.

Just finished the book! I love your review.

AGREE! enjoyed this book a lot ~ and spoiler alert.....>>> this book also sent my awareness on Narcissistic disorder on how manipulative they are
