I recieved an electronic version of this book for my honest review.

"The next heart-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager follows a young woman whose new job apartment sitting in one of New York’s oldest and most glamorous buildings may cost more than it pays. "

Hold on to your hat because this is one wild ride! I was up ALL night reading! Riley Sager sure knows how to write in the way that scares you but you can't help but want more!

Fantastic book. Definitely get this on your summer reading list!

I am one of the hardest people to shock when it comes to a twist in a book. THIS BOOK DID THAT. It started slow on the action but once it got going, I was reading as fast as I could to find out exactly what was going on in that building! I never guessed correctly and really didn't see it coming. Bravo to Riley Sager for the fantastic plot and thank you NetGalley and Dutton for the digital ARC. I can't wait to see what others think when this book is released in July!

The hype is real. Lock Every Door by @riley.sager is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite psychological thrillers of 2019, and one I will be recommending for a loooong time.

I didn’t read the synopsis and I’m so glad I just went into this one blind. This one hooked me from the very first page. I found myself frequently saying “just one more chapter,” and then forcing myself to put it down seven chapters later so that I could be social on this family trip I’m on.

This is for sure a five star summer/vacation/beach read.

Lock Every Door is my first Riley Sager book. How have I lived before this?!?!

Jules is unemployed, heart broken and sleeping on her best friend’s couch. Quite often when a story starts like this you figure she is a disaster. In reality, she really is just a victim of terrible luck and sad situations.

When she comes across an ad for an apartment sitter and gets the job, her luck is finally turning around. One of New York’s swankiest buildings, the legendary Bartholomew, has a need for an apartment sitter. It’s a three month stint that will net her $12,000 cash. She cannot believe her life can turn around so quickly. This will give her time to find a job and enough cash to secure a place to live.

There are strange rules at The Bartholomew. No visitors allowed. She cannot talk to the neighbors who are wealthy, and guard their privacy ferociously. Jules cannot spend the night away from the apartment. Strange, but for that kind of money, not a big deal. Until it is a big deal.

Her favorite author lives in the building, so does a movie star,
and then the handsome surgeon next door starts flirting with her. Fabulous, right? Yet, something is off. Another apartment sitter disappears, and Jules starts digging around. Is the building haunted? Are the tragedies in it’s history just tragedies or is it something more?

She is asking too many questions, making people angry and starts fearing for her safety. She needs to get out, and she is racing to do it, before it’s too late.

Thank you @netgalley for this kindle edition in exchange for my review. Available July 2, 2019.

Soon after reading The Last Time I Lied, I picked up Final Girls (I still need to read it) and of course requested a copy of Lock Every Door the second it was available on NetGalley. Luckily, I managed to snag a copy. There’s something about Riley Sager that I just LOVE. He always manages to incorporate some horror aspect into his thriller novels. For example, with Lock Every Door, Jules is a recently laid-off worker, and finds work as a housesitter in the exclusive Bartholomew Building (in which she and her sister used to obsess about since their favorite book was set there), and for some reason the book gave me some serious Rosemary’s Baby vibes. Maybe because of the uber-rich, yet creepy neighbors, or the fact that it’s alluded that the building is cursed and witches may be involved. However, this being a Sager novel means that although it may give you horror vibes, it never ventures off into supernatural.

I found Jules to be very relatable, as I think we can all identify with her. She was a hard worker in college, received a degree thinking she could better her social standing, instead, she ends up working a crummy office job in which she gets laid off from, and in her desperation to find a new living situation (her loser boyfriend cheated on her), she falls for an ad on Craigslist that is looking for a housesitter. Now, if Jules economic situation hadn’t been so fire, she would’ve bailed at the first inkling of something being amiss at the Bartholomew, but since beggars can’t be chooser’s, she sticks it out even when us readers are yelling, GET THE FUCK OUT!

Some aspects of the story seem kind of over the top, but I feel like it works, or at least Sager has enough thriller cred to make it work. This book is perfect any of you who love mysteries, thrillers, or horror (cause even though it’s not horror it DOES have a lot of horror vibes running throughout).

I really enjoyed this book a lot and have a feeling that Sager will become one of my fave new authors.

*Thank you so much to NetGalley and Dutton for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Lock Every Door follows suit with Sagers previous 2 thrillers. We have Jules, our damsel in distress, who is given an opportunity that seems too good to be true...and you know what they say...when it seems too good to be true...
Jules is offered a job, if you could call it that, to be paid to be a temporary tenant at one of the cities most coveted buildings. She meets a few other temporary tenants, and then one disappears. Determined to piece together the seemingly shady details, Jules delves into the mysteries surrounding the building.
This was a quick, uncomplicated read with well-developed, likeable (and not-so-likeable) characters.

Riley Sager is back with another page-turning suspense novel. Sager's books are always character driven, but this book takes that trait to a new level when an inanimate object becomes a character. The Bartholomew, a high profile Manhattan building, has a mysterious feel to it when Jules moves in. There are many rules about never spending a night away and having no visitors, but more than that, the building itself gives off ominous vibes from the strange wallpaper to the secretive other tenants. Jules realizes that she needs to get out of the Bartholomew, but people don't leave, they simply disappear. This novel is full of twists and turns and builds to an ending that no reader will suspect. The setting, the characters, and the storytelling in this novel make for a truly spine chilling read.

This is my first Riley Sager novel, I can guarantee it will not be my last.

Jules has just gone through a terrible break up, life is up in the air she doesn't have a job, has no remaining family alive and doesn't have a apartment. While looking for work she responds to a vague ad for a job, gets a interview and then it seems like everything is falling into place.
When things seem to good to be true, they probably are.

This book was so well written that once I started it I couldn't put it down. I couldnt stop myself from devouring this book. I thought I had it figured out and then twist, and once again I knew nothing. So fabulous!

I will follow this author anywhere!!

This heart pounding, page turning, can't catch your breath psychological thriller deserves 10+ stars!!! Riley Sager never disappoints but this has to be her best ever!!!

You know those books that you end up reading 5 chapters past your bed time? Well, this is one of them. Creepy, thrilling, and methodical, Lock Every Door had me hooked immediately.

Jules gets the opportunity of a lifetime to temporarily live at the prestigious and well-known Bartholomew and from there the story takes off. We follow Jules' discovery of the Bartholomew's history and stories from previous residents. We also get an eerie glimpse that things at the Bartholomew might not be what they initially seem.

For me this book evoked plenty of emotions. Jules is a likable character and I found myself sympathizing with her and hoping she would escape the figurative and literal walls of the infamous hotel.

You'll definitely enjoy this book if you're a fan of Riley Sagar, thrillers, mysteries or old, creepy buildings.

Lock Every Door By Riley Sager is his third new thriller. He wrote hands down my favorite novel of last year The Last Time I Lied and his debut for Final Girls had me on the edge of my seat in the first slasher/horror novel I've ever read. Lock Every Door follows adds a new horror in a hotel for the elite rich. The novel is dedicated to Ira Levin who wrote Rosemary's Baby and this novel clearly used that as a starter for the hotel and it's many super rich neighbor's. The novel is tension filled having the character start off in a very dire situation and telling what lead to that situation. The theme of rich versus poor is vivid throughout and ask the the reader what would you do in this desperate situation.
A special thanks to Netgalley, Dutton Publishing, and Pequin Group for an advanced copy of Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, for an honest review.

The Plot: Jules Larsen is hard up for a job, these past two weeks have been rough she got fired and caught her long term boyfriend cheating, she has no job and is crashing with her best friend Chloe, she is is in desperate need of a break ,and she receives one. A job through a craigslist ad offing to be an apartment sitter for The Bartholomew an upscale apartment all about privacy for the ultra rich staying there, there's also a famous book Heart of the Dreamer that was a favorite of Jules and her missing sister Jane, that took place at the Bartholomew. The offer is this Jules stays in the place for a $1,000 dollars a week while the apartment is tied in litigation as a previous resident died and the family debates about what to do with the property, the catch is she has to stay over every night, can not bring anyone over, and can not speak to any of the residents. Jules agrees and is smitten with the glitz of the place and the atmosphere, Her friend Chloe has had reservations the whole time find and article about all the odd goings on at the apartments, Murder, suicide, and a sickness that killed many. Jules blows all this over until a fellow house sitter leaves unexpectedly, and nobody in the building seems to care why.

What I Liked: The history of the building was really well thought out and makes sense when all is revealed, there's one really good twist that towards the end that played out really well, I saw it coming but Sager took it in a different way. The book really nailed desperation and the some times eyebrow raising choices you make during those times. I liked a majority of the characters especially Greta, Carlie, and Ingrid.

What I Disliked: I figured the main twist super early, the main villain wasn't all that interesting, I was waiting for that mind blowing twist in all the previous Riley Sager novels and this one was just not there. I almost which the book wasn't dedicated to Ira Levin because it follows a similar reveal to Rosemary's baby if you know that novel at all you're giving a way a twist, that I don't know if my mind would've immediately went to with out the dedication.

Recommendations: I will recommend this novel I feel it's the weakest out of the three but still a very good thriller that is very atmospheric. The twist that I came to love in Riley Sager novels are there, I guessed it but I think a lot of reader's will miss what I read. I love Riley sager he still remains my favorite of the new authors and will eagerly await any new material he puts out. I can not recommend The Last Time I Lied enough. I rated Lock Every Door 3 out of 5 stars, it was close to 4 stars but felt it belonged in 3 stars.

Lock Every Door was just what I needed, a popcorn thriller in all of the best ways.

Jules is our heroine, a down on her luck mid-twenties gal and within the first chapter you learn that she has lost her job and her boyfriend, is flat out broke and staying with what seems to be her only reliable friend in Manhattan. She has no family and is desperate for a little luck when she sees a job ad for an apartment sitter. Little did she know the apartment is in the famed Bartholomew, a prestigious building known to house only the wealthy and important. Jules, of course, is accepted for the position immediately after interviewing and moves in the very next day.

The structure of the book provides teasers to the reader of what's to come. We flash forward 6 days and learn quickly that she is injured and in the hospital and we continue to get these glimpses into the future while the reader gets the full experience of Jules' first week at the Bartholomew hotel and the events leading up to her hospital visit.

My biggest complaint is that the reader is to believe that everything happened within 5-6 days, which is a pretty big stretch. I would have have found it much more satisfying and believable if the author had it paced out across a month at the least. That being said, I think it would make a great movie, especially with the beautifully described setting that was the Bartholomew hotel. I'm a sucker for mysteries and thriller set in old buildings with rich history. I really enjoyed this book for what it is, a formulaic popcorn thriller.

First time reading this author ...but WOW really enjoyed this thriller. Jules has rules to follow . She meets Ingrid and finds there is more to the apartment she is sitting for than she realized. Ingrid disappears and now Jules has no choice but to find what is happening at the Bartholomew ! And needs to so it sooner than later.

This thriller kept me interested and I finished it in one day. The twist was surprising and I didn’t see it coming. However, I did enjoy Riley Sager’s other books more- this wasn’t as fast-paced as I have come to expect from him. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

That was a hell of a ride. I could not put this book down. Lock Every Door was perfectly creepy. Every page had me questioning what was happening. The ending was very satisfying.

This gothic thriller set in the middle of Manhattan was a blast to read, and proves that Riley Sager is a must buy author for me!

Lock Every Door was another fantastic thriller from Riley Sager. Jules Larsen is a little down on her luck and is looking for some easy money in-between jobs and a break up. She doesn't have any family living to turn to and doesn't want to crash on her newly married friend's couch for the foreseeable future. So when she takes a job as an apartment sitter in one of New York City's most exclusive apportionment buildings, things should start looking up. Yes, the apartment has rules and it seems a little too good to be true but she needs the money so she takes the job anyway! Right from the beginning of her time in the apartment Jules just has an off feeling about the place and what happens inside the walls.

I don't want to say too much about the rest of the plot. I think one of the best parts about this book was that I did not guess how the last third of the book would play out. If you are looking for a thriller that will definitely keep you guess and up into the night reading to find out what happens make sure to read this one!

What started out interesting, with suspense building to a crescendo throughout the first half, ended with a heavy dose of campiness that didn’t seem to vibe with either the first half or my expectations.

Love, love, love! This was such a fun and exciting story. I absolutely enjoyed every minute spent with it. The thrills, the mystery, and the suspense - oh, my! It was such fun getting to know the characters and trying to piece together what was really happening in the historied apartment building that was now home to Jules. The writing was top notch, the pace of the story was fantastic ( I was on the edge of my seat) and the characters were just great. Such a terrific story!!

This is the second Riley Sager novel I’ve read, The Last Time I Lied was my first. While I thought that one was good, I really loved Lock Every Door. This was a definite page turner and kept me guessing. I was a little worried about halfway and through 75% of the book the way the story seemed to be leading as it was a little outlandish for my taste. But it really turned around and I loved the story line shifted. It did end a little too neat and tidy for my personal taste though, but it didn’t take away from the story. Highly recommend for a fast paced and have-to-find-out-what-happens-next type story!
