After losing her job and her boyfriend, all in the same day, Jules is given an opportunity of a lifetime. All she has to do is apartment sit. $4000 a month, in a beautiful building, the rich and famous, what more could she ask for? All she has to do is follow the simple rules. No visitors, she has to stay the night, every night, and do not pester the other tenants.
Sounds pretty great huh. Well that's until some unexplainable things start happening. She starts hearing someone in her apartment, another apartment sitter goes missing, and nobody has any answers. Jules starts digging deeper and realizes that there's a lot more going on here then she knows.
Sager is one of my favorite thriller authors. I've loved his previous books and with this one he did not disappoint. The plot was superb. Once again he delivers us some devious and screwed up things and even took it up a notch towards the ending. The characters were unpredictable and creepy. When you think you know how this is gonna end, bam, you get another twist that leaves you wondering what the hell is going on. This is definitely a summer read that you do not want to miss!

This book has my favorite element: a “twist” that I didn’t see coming.

A page turner that hooked me on the first page and kept me reading.

A great pick for beach or poolside reading!.

I'm usually not a big fan of thrillers, but I look forward to Sager's new book every year! They are perfect popcorn reading for summer! While his books are not horror, it is clear that Sager has a deep understanding of the genre and each of his books pay tribute. As a horror fan, I greatly appreciate this. I tore through Lock Every Door, enjoying the creepy setting, strange characters, and plot twists. While I saw several of the twists coming, it didn't ruin the experience and one in particular caught me off guard. I highly recommend this title to readers who enjoy atmospheric, creepy thrillers!

If something seems to good to be true it probably is as Jules finds out when she gets a job as an apartment sitter in an exclusive New York City building. Mr. Sager does it again as in another thriller that kept me guessing until the end! A perfect beach read and a sure hit for the Summer.

Sadly, I am going to be the very unpopular opinion here. This book was 2 Stars for me. I felt the pacing was very slow, nothing really happened until the very end of the book, and even than for me the ending fell flat. I dislike books that lead you one way, and then end in a very generic way. Which for me, this was kind of how it was. I loved Final Girls and to this day, it remains one of my favorites. That (for me) was a plot twist that was superb.

I found myself just going through the motions while reading this, and it took me over a week to finish it, because I just couldn't find the motivation to pick it up. However, I appear to be one of the only ones to feel this way, so in this case it really is that I'm just the wrong reader for this book.

I really enjoyed the latest release from Riley Sager! I've enjoyed their previous novels quite a bit and this one was no exception. It is just the right amount of page-turning where you can't wait to find out what happens next, but the writing is still literary in nature and very absorbing. I find with many thrillers that the quickness of the plot often causes me to skip lines or words to find out what's going to happen next but with Sager's innate ability to craft a carefully constructed mystery, I want to read every word! My only regret is that I'll have to wait probably a whole nother year for Sager's next book! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun summer read. This is a perfectly immersive book for by the beach, on a plane, or at a coffee shop.

This was a great read for a holiday weekend. When I read the premise, I spent a lot of time trying to guess what the story with the apartment would be: a sex cult? ghosts? serial killer? Despite my best attempts to figure it out, I did not guess correctly! And as a person who reads a lot of thrillers, I love when I can't guess correctly.
The pacing was a little bit slow in the beginning, but it definitely picked up the pace from the 3/4 mark to the end.

If something seems to good to be true, it probably is....Lock Every Door is Riley Sager’s 3rd thriller and solidly places him on the must read list.

Like his previous books, the story grabs you from the beginning. His clever use of a countdown leaves you feeling an overwhelming feeling of dread until the final pages when you scramble to finish and read the satisfying conclusion. Hold on to your hats, and just go along for this thrilling ride.

No spoilers here but the creepy and unsettling Bartholomew building was an amazing character along with all the other residents.

I’ll highly recommend this and other Riley Sager books to my readers looking for their next thrill ride

I absolutely loved this book. It drew me in the second I started reading it. Amazing story line and I did not see the ending coming, which is hard to do considering the amount of thrillers out there. This has to be my favorite Riley Sager book!!

Wow! Riley Sager has done it again. This is my favorite kind of book, the kind that you pick up and cannot put down. I read it in two sittings because it was so compelling. While I did see one of the twists, as it was true Sager fashion, I did not see the ending twist coming! I would highly recommend this for a great summer read!

"No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen's new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings. Recently heartbroken and just plain broke, Jules is taken in by the splendor of her surroundings and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind."

Three in a row for Mr. Sager!!!

His latest book Lock Every Door is a stunning thriller, suspense-driven perfect for a fast read this summer, written in two timelines Now and Jules' arrival at the building a few days earlier. The characters are well developed, everyone is an essential part of the plot. The tension around the story builds gradually, you really need to know what's going on inside that building that makes this book difficult to put down. I won't lie I got a little preoccupied near the end I thought uff this can't go this way but WOOOH Mr. Sager save the end with an amazing twist I did not see coming (Can't tell a lot without giving up the plot). Amazing! Add this one to your summer reading, recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. #NetGalley #LockEveryDoor

Riley Sager has done it again! As with his previous two novels, I was drawn into this book from the very first page, just as Jules is drawn into the Bartholomew despite her hesitations.

From the minute Sager started posting on Instagram about his newest novel I knew I had to get my hands on it ASAP. That's how amazing his books are. He has this ability to slowly pull you in and the next thing you know you're on a wild ride and you have no idea where you're going.

Such is the same with Lock Every Door. It starts out ordinary enough, with Jules being down on her luck and finding a gem in being an apartment sitter at a ritzy New York apartment building. Sure the rules are weird but $1000 a week for 3 months is totally worth it. Right?

Until some really weird, creepy things start happening. And when Jules' new friend Ingrid disappears she knows something is very wrong.

The end? Was ridiculous in the BEST way. I finished it on an airplane and when I was done all I could do was set my Kindle down and ponder what just happened. 

I need this book to be a movie. I need it now. And I need you all to read it so we can discuss. Get your  hands on this book NOW. It will blow your mind.

What an excellent psychological thriller! I devoured this book in one day! I love how fast paced it was and how each chapter left me wanting to read more until I finished the entire book. This is the third novel I read by Riley Sager and let's just say I will be a fan of anything he writes forever. This will be a great summer read!

This is my favorite Riley Sagar book. The twist in the end I couldn't see coming. This book was so good. I will be raving about it in Summer Reading Guide next week.

Another great book by author, Riley Sager. I enjoyed this book because of its thrilling, fast-paced , edge of your seat nature. Jules becomes an apartment sitter at one of Manhattan's most prestigious buildings. She is bombarded with crazy rules and even crazier neighbors. At times the thrill vibe was a bit unbelievable but I still couldn't put this book down. I highly recommend you check this one out.

Thank you so much @duttonbooks for the @netgalley of Riley Sager’s highly anticipated new thriller! Lock Every Door tells the story of Jules and her discovery as to what is really going on at New York City’s finest apartment building, the Bartholomew. Jules enters as an apartment sitter for apartment 12A and within minutes of realizing she is being paid to stay in New York’s best apartment she thinks it must be too good to be true. Told over the course of a few days, Lock Every Door follows Jules journey to discover the mystery of the past and present and see why people seem to be disappearing into thin air. I LOVED this book and it completely lived up to its predecessors of Final Girls and the Last Time I Lied. @riley.sager has easily become one of my favorite authors because his thrillers are extremely fast paced and keep you guessing until the end and this was no exception. While reading I honestly did not know where the book was headed and no matter what clues I discovered as a reader, I did not figure out truly what was going on. I love Sager’s novels because although the characters are usually women in a time of adversity, he does not make them helpless and in need of rescuing, he makes them the heroes who decide their own fate and can save themselves from danger. I highly recommend Lock Every Door to anyone who loves a thriller as this would be a great beach or summer read because it goes quick. Lock Every Door comes out on July 2, so make sure to get your hands on a copy!

After loving last years “The Last Time I Lied” I was so excited to be approved for “Lock Every Door.” This was definitely a read that gets you hooked from the beginning and you aren’t going to want to put down.

You’re offered $4,000 a month to apartment-sit a luxury unit on the top floor of one of NYC’s most famous apartments. The only rules are no visitors, no social media, and no bugging the other residents. And Jules, who only has a couple hundred bucks to her name, recently lost her job, found out her boyfriend is cheating on her, and is now homeless, can’t believe her luck when she is offered this opportunity.

However, things aren’t maybe as great as they seem, as a series of mysterious disappearances start to alarm Jules and her friends and Jules sets out on a dangerous journey to learn the truth.

I enjoyed every aspect about this book, although I feel there were a couple things I would have liked to see more resolution on, including some info on Jules family.

This is definitely an exciting book that is a true page turner! Don’t hesitate to check it out - you won’t regret it.

5/5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was so good and so creepy! Definitely a page turner. Jules takes a house sitting job that turns out to be much different than she bargained for.

One of the best thrillers of 2019!! Riley Sager does it again.
Jules is hired as an apartment sitter at the infamous Bartholomew apartment complex. Its tenants include rich and famous authors, actors and surgeons. Jules quickly realizes that something is off about her new place of employment and residency, and the events that unfold will keep you turning the pages as fast as possible!

This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. All alone and broke just apartment sir for three months and you will make $12,000. But lock every door
