I'm a bit late on posting this, as this book came out a month ago, and we already have copies of it in our library, however, the copy I read was an ARC given to me by Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own.
I'll admit I was a bit biased when I first picked up this book, and I knew I was most likely going to like it, because I've liked everything else I've ever read by Riley Sager, especially The Final Girls. So this could have easily met my expectations or it could have bombed spectacularly. Thankfully, it did not disappoint.
Jules, the main character in our story, agrees to "apartment sit" for a few months in one of Manhattan's most prominent apartment buildings, the Bartholomew. There are all sorts of weird rules, and her friend tries to tell her that it doesn't sound like a good idea, but since she is desperate for money, Jules does it anyway. While there, she meets a girl named Ingrid who abruptly disappears in the middle of the night, and pretty soon while trying to find Ingrid, she ends up having to save herself.
This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. I figured out about 2/3 of the way in what was going on and who was doing what, but that didn't take away from the story, nor did it terrify me any less. I don't want to go into too much detail because this is one of those stories you have to read for yourself, but let's just say that even in my WORST nightmares, I couldn't imagine having to go through this. As always, Sager's book was an absolute ride, and I will definitely read anything and everything else he puts out.
