Desperate for a job and to leave her past behind, Jules finds an ad for a job: to be a temporary apartment sitter. What she doesn’t realize is the apartment is none other than the magical Bartholomew, a prestigious apartment building housing the rich and famous in Manhattan.
When Jules enters the apartment, she is astounded and is in disbelief at the beauty of her new home. Everything seems like it’s out of a dream… until she hears the strict rules: 1. absolutely no visitors, 2. no nights spent away from the apartment, and 3. no disturbing the other residents.
While Jules feels slightly unsure about the dream job she just landed, she brushes those feelings away when she looks around the intricate space she gets call home for the next three months. Not to mention she’s getting paid to live there. It all seems too good to be true.
When she meets the apartment sitter who lives below her, Ingrid, she warns Jules that The Bartholomew might not be the picturesque place she envisions, but one that’s haunted. Jules thinks nothing of it. That is, until Ingrid turns up missing the next day.
With the strict rules and strange behavior of certain residents now at the forefront of Jules’s mind, she digs for answers and begins her search to find Ingrid. When she uncovers secrets about The Bartholomew, things begin to take a dark turn, and Jules finds herself trapped in the middle of it.

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager was an amazing thriller. From the first page, I was drawn in by Jules, a character who I felt connected to from the start. I really loved the way Jules was portrayed as a normal girl, just looking for a job and willing to take whatever came her way to pay the bills. I could really see Jules grow throughout the story — from desperate to confident in who she is.
I think Jules’s experiences at The Bartholomew were so believable, and the ending took such an incredible, jaw-dropping turn. Sager created such a unique and mysterious story that really kept me guessing. I thoroughly enjoy his writing style and love the descriptions he used — the scenes were so easy to visualize and I thought the aspect of forming the apartment into a character itself was a nice touch.
Overall, Lock Every Door held my attention, was full of memorable, realistic characters that I could believe, and I found myself unable to put the story down. A very intriguing, excellent read.
Jules is down on her luck, out of work and living on her best friend's couch. When she spots a job listing for a short term apartment sitting position in one of NYC's most prestigious buildings, the duties and salary seem like the answer to all of her problems. As that old adage goes: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
A huge fan of Sager's previous thrillers, I started this with high expectations. This delivered and then some! Lock Every Door is a creepy, twisted cat and mouse tale that kept me guessing and kept me up at night. There was one point where the story line headed in a theoretical direction that had me scratching my head. Thankfully, yet another twist was presented and the ending was just...whoa. Riley Sager has secured his place on my auto-buy list!
Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton for the free advance e-Galley of this thriller.
E6C8ED3C-518C-48D1-A914-C2FEED316B26Thank you to Dutton for providing me with a free digital copy of Lock Every Door in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
To put it simply: I loved this book! I wish I could forget it all so that I could read it and experience it all over again! I truly enjoyed every single page of this suspenseful, dynamic thriller. The third from Sager, Lock Every Door is by far my favorite from this author and I feel like each of his novels just get better and better.
Every element of Lock Every Door was so well balanced, like a perfectly mixed cocktail. Nothing was lacking, no part taking over. What really pulled me in was the setting: The prestigious, yet mystery Bartholomew wasn't what you would expected as a creepy apartment building because of it's gorgeous descriptions. It sounded like the most posh, luxurious building in NYC. However, Sager does a great job of mixing in a few curious details to cast doubt, just enough that you aren't sure if strange things are really happening or if it's just in your head.
It really bothers me when a novel relies heavily on a character's past and flashbacks to hold up what is happening in the present but that was NOT the case with Jules. Her previous experiences were described just enough to help you understand her actions and choices. I actually found her to be relatable and gregarious.
The direction this novel was going for the majority of the book had me thinking that things were going to turn out in an unnatural and creepy cacophony, yet ended in what I found to be a disturbingly realistic turn of events.
I loved the format of this book, days counting backwards to the climax, I loved that every chapter had something happening, not just characters mulling over what had already happened. The suspenseful pacing was perfect and I honestly have nothing bad to say. I loved Lock Every Door and recommend it to mystery and suspense lovers everywhere!
At twenty-five, Jules Larsen is in desperate need for a reset, as she has recently lost her job, boyfriend and home. Not a stranger to loss, Jules is ever ready to move forward despite the setbacks. Upon being offered a temporary job as an apartment sitter at the infamous Bartholomew in the upper West side, she jumps at the opportunity to fulfill a fantasy and also alleviate her mounting debt.
“This place isn’t kind to gentle souls. It chews them up and swallows them whole.”
Though the rules for apartment sitters seem strict, Jules decides to power on and slowly makes some acquaintances among the residents. However, the constant odd behavior and eerie history of the building starts to make Jules think there may be some truth to the rumors.
“Never confuse fiction with reality. No good ever comes of it.”
Told from the protagonist’s point of view, the plot tension steadily builds as Jules shows herself to be resilient considering what she has experienced. Not wanting to have history repeat itself, Jules is protective of those in her life and is willing to take certain risks. Though, the skepticism of knowing who she can trust is ever present.
With a strange cast of secondary characters, including the Bartholomew itself, the tone is mysterious and causes the reader to balance between truth and fiction. From the outset, I had my suspicions and that may have lessened the impact of the reveal; however, I am pleased with a certain outcome. At times, it seemed like the plot was a bit fantastic but I was entertained throughout and I truly empathized with Jules.
Lock Every Door is a thriller that delves into the integrity of its characters. This book will appeal to those who enjoy a good mystery and a protagonist that is down and out, but hasn’t lost the fight within her.
Welp, the conclusion of this was creepy enough I had trouble sleeping, so that's an A+ book, then lol. I loved it. Breezed through in three thoroughly enjoyable reading sessions; guessed some things and not others. Delighted in the big soapy finish.
The nuts and bolts of the book that our MC, Jules, is an orphan between jobs and homes, after her boyfriend cheated on her. She answers an ad for an apartment sitter and is shocked to discover it's a gig at the Bartholomew, a famous old building right off Central Park. It was the setting of her all-time favorite book, and they'll pay her 12K to live in apartment 12A for three months. Shortly after she moves in, she meets one of the other apartment sitters, Ingrid, and they become fast friends. Then Ingrid disappears. Cue Jules investigating her disappearance and everything unraveling.
And it unraveled pretty spectacularly! I was in suspense the whole time. Wanted to shout GIRL YOU IN DANGER RUN a lot. As I mentioned, some twists were way more obvious than others, in the sense that I guessed a few things based on tried & true thriller tropes, but it was the kind of guessing that enhanced the reading experience rather than detracted. Everything implodes marvelously in an exciting third act, which is followed by a satisfying denouement/conclusion.
One of my favorite things about the novel was the world as character. The Bartholomew is so vividly described with lots of quirky little details (like the wallpaper) that popped in my mind as I was reading. I felt like I was there. When the setting turned menacing, I ate it up. Loved. Another compliment to the author is that as I started reading I had a moment of doubt that the author was a guy. I don't always enjoy thrillers by male authors (sorry?), but this is an example of an author who wrote a 100% fleshed out, layered, real-feeling 25-year-old heroine, in addition to other interesting female characters in the book. All the character work was quite good--the characters who needed to pop did, but even the minor characters had defining characteristics or strong scenes so they felt distinct.
I won't say much more to avoid spoilers, except to say that if you're a thriller reader who likes creepy old buildings and the suspense of a heroine with nowhere to go, this one is a home run. It's one of the more mainstream thrillers I've read this year, in terms of being an obvious candidate for a mainstream hit. There's a lot to love here. I can see it working very well as a movie (Blumhouse?). I definitely plan on picking up the author's other books.
Thank you to the publisher Dutton books, and netgalley for my early Review copy. This was my third book by Riley Sager, and it was my FAVORITE!!.

This is about Jules who gets a job as an apartment sitter in The Bartholomew, one of Manhattans most mysterious and high profile buildings. With it comes excellent pay, and plenty of rules, rules that would raise a red flag!

As she's there, strange things happen. Other apartment sitters start go missing, Jules wants to find out what is going on. Jules is a tough cookie and she's on.a mission. She does things that completely freaked me out!! I LOVED IT!!

This books was SO GOOD!! You will most likely think you have it figured out, but trust me, that end was NOT what I was thinking. So awesome!! Riley Sager is an amazing writer and he is definitely an auto buy author for me!!
4.5 stars
This is my first Sager book, but it will not be my last. This is one of the best books I’ve read in 2019.
Jules just lost her job and boyfriend, and she’s now homeless with few options … until the perfect opportunity comes along. Her friend Chloe isn’t so sure, as things that sound too good to be true usually are. Jules disagrees and accepts a job as an apartment sitter at the iconic Bartholomew, an historic apartment building overlooking Central Park. While there are a few strange rules, Jules believes the pay ($12.000 for three months) is more than worth it … until unusual things begin happening and another apartment sitter suddenly disappears. Her search for answers could place her right in the middle of a sinister situation. Can she get out before it’s too late?
I enjoyed the fact that this story was told in 1st person POV. I like the structure of the book (going back and forth in time). I had a hard time putting this book aside, as it totally pulled me in. Jules is an easy character to like, and I found the mystery and twists in this book creepy and unique. I certainly didn’t anticipate the ending. A definite page-turner for me!
A mysterious apartment building, no visitors, no disturbing the other residents...sign me up for this thrill ride! I was pumped to read Lock Every Door, the third thriller from Riley Sager but unfortunately, this one did not live up to the hype. The characters, the plot, and the pacing all fell flat for me.
I kept waiting for something exciting to happen and by the time I had the ending figured out, I was left disappointed and wanting more. The majority of the plot follows the main character, Jules, as she searches for a missing woman she barely knows. While doing so, she stumbles upon the mysterious past of The Bathrlomew apartment building and falls down a rabbit hole of investigation. I had the villains pegged from the beginning, so the ending wasn’t a surprise to me. I do think this book will please a lot of readers but this one just wasn’t for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Well, Riley Sager, you’ve done it again. You’ve crafted the perfect thriller, equal parts mystery and horror, a propulsive page-turner.
Lock Every Door is told from the perspective of Jules, a young, broke victim of chance. After losing her job and catching her boyfriend cheating, she finds herself homeless and without many options when she discovers the perfect job. The iconic Bartholomew, a historic apartment building overlooking Central Park, is looking for apartment sitters. Jules thinks she’s won the lottery, but nothing at the Bartholomew is as it seems. Soon after moving in, another apartment sitter mysteriously disappears, and Jules begins to suspect there is a sinister explanation.
Sager does an amazing job of sharply juxtaposing opulence and desperation. The glamour of The Bartholomew is seen through the eyes of someone severely in debt who lives paycheck to paycheck. Loneliness and isolation are also a major themes. Jules is very isolated in her life, having lost both parents years earlier, as well as a sister who mysteriously vanished when Jules was a teenager.
I read Lock Every Door over the course of one night, staying up well past my bedtime, glued to the page. I would not recommend that approach. This is strictly a read with the lights on book, especially the last few chapters. It was nearly impossible for me to sleep after I finished this book, both because I was terrified, and because I was blown away by the complex story of Lock Every Door. This is definitely not one to miss, but you have been warned, keep the lights on.
Riley Sager just out here sending girls to creepy camps, spooky cabins, mysterious buildings and slaying us with yet another chilling thriller, which I hope was as fun for the author to write as it was for me to read. I love that sense of adventure in this author's books. Riley's girls though are not to be messed with. And Jules is no exception, she knows the truth might cost her her life and she still walked through fire. Literally.
What would you do if you were offered twelve thousand dollars to stay at a luxurious apartment for three months?
There's no such thing as leaving an apartment unoccupied in the Barthololew. From the start, we feel the danger that lurks in the rooms and hallways of this mysterious Manhattan building where Jules accepts her new job as an apartment sitter. Little does she know that this place has the most horrifying past, and escaping might not be an option.
I'm beginning to realize how each book this author writes has a different factor that draws me in. Final Girls had the best twist. Last Time I lied? I still memorize that final page to this day, and Vivian is a character that still stays with me.
in Lock Every Door, I couldn't stop turning the pages. So many shocking twists and turns. And I applaud the author for adding in the creep factor - because I just love creepy - with a pinch of gothic suspense I felt fully addicted to and invested in Jules' journey as she endeavored to unravel the Bartholomew's dark past, and the suspense does not let up when we're given occasional snippets from the present day - where the protagonist is in the hospital, in the process of recovering from a horrible accident.
Riley Sager just knows how to create an addictive and gripping atmosphere that makes his work stand out.
Jules has just lost her job and her boyfriend when the dream job of being an apartment sitter at New York City’s iconic Bartholomew falls into her lap. Jules gets to know the residents of the Bartholomew and is befriended by another apartment sitter Ingrid. Ingrid tells Jules that something about the building scares her, but Jules brushes her off. That is, until Ingrid disappears. In Jules’ quest to find Ingrid she discovers unnerving details about the building’s past. Will these details also lead Jules to being the building’s next victim?
Wow. Just wow. I have not devoured a book this quickly in a while. The book had me hooked from the first page and I could not read it fast enough. While Jules starts off being beaten down by life, she comes out of it at the end as a strong woman. And while she is coming into her own, she takes you on a Thrilling ride through the craziness of the Bartholomew with its sordid past and its rich residents.
Jules Larsen has a very lucrative job for a few weeks. There are strange rules, such as no visitors, or nights away, and other such requirements. The building where Jules will be apartment sitting is home to rich and famous people. It is called the Bartholomew. one of Manhattan's most exclusive and mysterious residences. Jules is down and out, so this opportunity will grant her the chance to put her past behind her and to start over. She certainly will make enough money for what really is a short period of time.
Despite being rather singular, Jules gets to know a few residents and staff at the Bartholomew. Another sitter like herself, Ingrid, strikes a chord in her and they get along. Ingrid shares the history of the building with Jules, and then suddenly disappears. Jules becomes very worried. So, she begins to search for answers, and is met with strange circumstances. For starters, strange things begin happening. Her interchanges with others are very strange as well. Jules can do nothing less but assume the worst with regard to Ingrid, and also the building and its residents.
What a creepy story! I sometimes felt as stressed out as Jules while she searched for answers. I realized while reading this book that nothing was as it it seemed. There was layer upon layer in this story. No one, other than Jules, seemed trustworthy. The twists and turns were many, especially with how the story began. It started with Jules in the hospital, and things were strange from that angle. The story then went back and forth from several days when she started apartment sitting to the present.
I could hardly get past the turn of events while reading this story! It was incredibly scary and was a true page-turner. I literally could not put this book down, not even for a second. It was difficult because I thought one thing, then it was something else. This happened more than once. The ending was a true shocker. This is my second book by Riley Sager. I think I need to read his first book, because I have an idea that he is just the author about which to say, "Hey, I read all of his books!"
Many thanks to Dutton and to NetGalley for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
Thank you so much to Dutton, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have read Riley Sager’s previous novels and absolutely LOVED them and this one was no different. I had really high hopes for this book and oh boy did it deliver.
Jules Larsen has recently been laid off from her job, broke up with her cheating boyfriend and finding herself in need of a place to live with little to no money. When she accepts a job as an apartment sitter at one of NYC most famous buildings, The Bartholomew, Jules beloved her luck is about to change. The pay is amazing so she pushes away thoughts that this could be to good to be true. Of course there are a lot of rules she must follow; she cannot ever have any visitors, she must sleep in the apartment each night, no sharing anything on social media as the residents of the building are very private. Which also includes no talking to the residents unless they speak to her first.
“Every so often, life offers you a reset button. When it does, you need to press it as hard as you can. “
So, Jules moves into apartment 12A and meets a young girl, Ingrid. Who lives in the apartment below her in 11A, who is also an apartment sitter. They quickly become friends, and agree to meet in Central Park every day at noon for lunch. Ingrid shares her feelings with Jules about how the Bartholomew frightens her but she needs the money so she stays.
The next morning Ingrid is gone, she apparently moved out during the middle of the night without a word to anyone. Jules tried repeatedly to get into contact with her, texts and phone calls go unanswered. Of course Jules becomes worried about the girl and is curious about how she left. As Jules tries to uncover what happened she starts to uncover a series of dark and disturbing secrets that have been happening at The Bartholomew for quiet some time.
This is a fast paced read, suspenseful and it kept me wanting to pick it back up and read until it was finished. There were a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming and a few I figured out but it was still an incredible book.I am a huge fan of Sager's thrillers and I cannot wait to see what he writes next! Definitely recommend if you enjoy atmospheric settings, mystery and shady people.

It could be said that fate has not treated Jules Larson with kindness. Her family disintegrated. Sister Jane mysteriously went missing one night, last seen getting into a black VW Beetle, but never to be seen again. Her mother, literally crippled with cancer and her father, metaphorically so but by unpayable medical bills, perished in a disastrous fire. Jules paid her way through college and graduated with a qualification that secured her a non-job as a gopher and photocopying skivvy in an anonymous New York office. When they decided to ‘rationalise their human resources’ her job was one of the first to go. Ah well, at least Jules had her relationship with sweet, goofy, sexy Andrew, and their shared apartment. Until she came home one time and found lovely Andrew between the legs of some random girl. Andrew is the keyholder, and so adding homelessness to emotional injury, it’s Jules who has to go.
Jules ends up sleeping on the couch of her best college friend, Chloe. Down, definitely, and almost out. Until her daily scan of the situations vacant notices gives her a faint sniff of hope. Someone wants an apartment sitter. It’s not just any old apartment, though. The apartment is in one of New York’s most celebrated buildings – The Bartholomew. Neither as celebrated nor as notorious as The Dakota, The Bartholomew shares spectacular views over Central Park, is built with the same attention to German Gothic details, and is regarded with awe by passers-by as they gaze up at its pediments and gargoyles.
Not only does Jules get to stay in a luxury apartment, but she will be paid what is, to her, a ridiculously high salary. She feels totally intimidated by the interview with The Bartholomew’s expensively dressed agent, but she must have done something right, because she gets the gig.
There are one or two rules, however. She must never spend a night away from the building. On no account is she allowed visitors, day or night. And under no circumstances must she ever approach or bother any other the bona fide residents of the building, all of whom are madly wealthy, and some of whom are internationally well known.
Too good to be true? Of course it is! It’s not long before the century-old history the building begins to assert itself into Jules’s consciousness. What happened to the previous sitters in apartment 12A? Why did the building’s founder and leading light throw himself to his death from an upper storey while several of his staff were laid out in death, on stretchers lined up on the sidewalk below? Can anyone in the building be trusted? Charlie, the benevolent doorman? Nick, the solicitous and warm-hearted doctor from across the hallway? The reclusive writer, author of a book which entranced Jules, and thousands of others in their teenage years?
This is a very clever thriller. Riley Sager, as he did in his previous novel Last Time I Lied, flips time sequences to keep us guessing as to precisely what is going on. His solution to the conspiracy which binds all The Bartholomew residents together is totally unexpected, and just about plausible. If you are a fan of claustrophobic Gothick thrillers where even the wallpaper in the bedroom has a sinister intent, and the dumb waiter creaks into view carrying a deadly threat, then you will love this. Lock Every Door is published by Ebury Press and will be available from 25th July.
TW: Missing persons, homelessness, poverty (this is a thriller/suspense book where bad things are happening, but I don't want to list them as to not ruin the book, but are synonymous with other similar titles)
Can Riley Sager do any wrong? This is his third novel and the third one I've read, because I. Cannot. Get. Enough. Each of his books thrills even more than the last, and I have to say that Lock Every Door is my new favorite novel from Sager. I thank Book of the Month for getting me hooked in the first place.
This novel follows Jules, a 20-something in NYC with no family, a crappy ex-boyfriend, and no job. When she comes across a Craigslist ad that directs her to her dream apartment (also setting of her favorite novel), it seems too good to be true. For three months and $12,000, all Jules needs to do is apartment-sit. But there are some weird stipulations that her best friend is totally creeped out about, and the apartment building does have a kind of mysterious past. They say if it's too good to be true, it probably is. And that may just be the case in this situation.
When I started reading this book, I was immediately hooked. Sager writes compelling characters that are so easy to connect with, and it seriously just pulls you in. You are no longer a reader. You are there in each and every scene, living out these quite horrific situations. Sager is just as talented and terrifying as Stephen King without being quite so dense in storytelling. It makes for a perfectly enjoyable, though anxiety-inducing, reading experience.
Lock Every Door was twisty and turny from page one. I didn't know what to expect or who to trust, and that made the novel so intriguing and impossible to put down. I could never figure out what was going to happen next, and I just needed to know what was going on. The situation was too perfect to be anything good, but there was no big indicator to reveal what was actually happening. But the characters are written well, with a strong sense of development (specifically for the main character).
"Every so often, life offers you a reset button. When it does, you need to press it as hard as you can." - Lock Every Door, Riley Sager
Starting out, the story was reminiscent of An Anonymous Girl, but quickly began to remind me of the television show 666 Park Avenue (does anyone else remember that show - I hate that it was cancelled). It also very much reminded me of AHS: Hotel, which totally feels like cheating because it's mentioned within the book, but is likely a large influence on the book.
I really loved this book and I would highly recommend it, and any other Riley Sager novels.
Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton Books for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I read Riley Sager’s debut Final Girls a couple of years back and really enjoyed it. Like Final Girls, Lock Every Door is a thrilling read that will keep you guessing until the very end. There was a slow start to the book, but about 50 pages in I was hooked! This book has a very interesting twist that I did not see coming! I read this book in one day because I could not put it down. It was a fun journey but felt like it was missing something.
I’ve been Fan Girl'ing over Riley Sager since reading his first book Final Girls, as well as his second novel, The Last Time I Lied. I didn’t need to read the synopsis of Lock Every Door because I knew without a doubt I’d want to get my hands on this book as soon as possible. I was lucky enough to not only get an e-arc but also an early audiobook copy – the audiobook was FANTASTIC! The book starts with an eerie and gothic atmosphere located in NYC in a very old/high society apartment building – need I say more. Sager is the superstar of writing creepy, believable, and brilliant stories that will suck you right in and refuse to let you go. Everything about Lock Every Door is BRILLANT!
Thank you to Netgally and the publisher for an early e-arc and audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a very unique story, plenty of creepiness and mystery. I would never have guessed the ending. It was very original. I will look for more by this author for sure. #LockEveryDoor #NetGalley #Fiction #Thriller #Library #Bookshelf #Bookreview #Booklover #booksofinstagram #Read #Books #ARC #RileySager
I've been a huge fan of Riley Sager's after reading and loving his first book, Final Girls, as well as his sophomore novel, The Last Time I Lied, so I knew I had to get my hands on Lock Every Door as soon as possible! The cover is stunning, and the description sounded deliciously dark and mysterious.
The book starts off with an eerie, gothic feel, as Jules takes a job apartment sitting at an old, fancy building in New York City. She'll be living with society's elite, but there's a catch. The rules are strict, and the building has a sordid history. Jules needs money though, so she decides it's worth it.
Sager has such a way with words that keeps me glued to the pages. I've felt like this with all three of his books. They're hard to put down, and I found myself continually telling myself that I'd read "just one more chapter" until it was well past the time I needed to go to bed in order to be functioning at work the next morning! I read on the train, snuck pages in while I was walking from meeting to meeting at work, and basically had my face shoved in the book as often as possible, because I needed to know how the book would end!
I had a theory that about what was happening, and thought for a while that I was on the right track, but ended up being off base completely! There were several directions the book could have gone in, and the direction that was chosen was unexpected, but a pleasant surprise - I ultimately enjoyed the conclusion. I rated this one 5/5 stars, and definitely recommend this one for fans of Sager's previous works, as well as fans of gothic suspense! It will be hard to put this one down!
I'd like to thank Dutton for my advanced copy of the book. It was my pleasure to provide an honest review. Lock Every Door comes out July 2, so be sure to pick this one up ASAP!
Living in luxury without paying rent and actually being paid to live there. Sounds too good to be true, right? That’s what Jules thought too. But her life was in such disarray that she really didn’t have any choice, or any way to survive if she didn’t take the apartment sitting gig.
So she finds herself living in an amazing two-story furnished apartment looking over Central Park in all it’s autumn splendor. She isn’t supposed to really talk to the residents unless they talk to her, but she can talk to the other apartment sitters like her. Except they seem to few and far between, and it seems like none of them every stay the full three months of their contract. Of course, Jules begins to wonder why.
It’s easy to find mystery lurking behind every corner in a super old, mysterious building with a speckled past. But Jules starts to suspect more than just old skeletons. I don’t want to give away too much–just trust me and read it!
Lock Every Door is a perfect summer read. A little spooky, but nothing some bright sunlight on the beach can’t tame. It’s got mystery, intrigue and a plot more sinister than you can imagine. I’ve loved Sager’s other books, Final Girls and The Last Time I Lied. She stays true to her writing with this one.
Special thanks to Netgalley and Dutton for an e-galley in exchange for my honest review. Lock Every Door is out July 2! Get your copy!
