Thanks to @netgalley for providing me with a copy of @riley.sager ‘s upcoming release!

Jules scores the job of a lifetime being an apartment sitter at an elite Manhattan building. She can live in this beautiful place while earning excellent money. However, as she quickly learns, this place is more of a mystery than she realized. There are strict rules to follow, which doesn’t sit right with her best friend. The more she hears, Jules begins to feel uneasy about the building’s strange myths. Since she isn’t allowed to have outside visitors, she becomes friends with Ingrid, the sitter in the apartment below. After setting up a time and place to meet each day, Ingrid goes missing! As Jules searches for her, she learns that other sitters have unexpectedly disappeared, and that the building holds more secrets than she realized! Will she find Ingrid and discover the truth about her disappearance, or will Jules be the next to disappear?
I think that this one was my favorite Sager book! I could not wait to pick it up each day to see how everything would play out! It was vivid in my my mind and seemed like a Hitchcock movie. It would be excellent as a screen adaption! I highly recommend it!

Well, I finished this book about ten minutes ago and I’m still sort of in shock!!! This was a MUCH wilder, creepier, scarier ride than either of his last books. And yet in a way it was almost a nostalgic read, at times making me remember reading RL Stine books as a kid. Jules is a fabulously written character, and her journey from entering the Bartholomew to ultimately solving its mystery is a believable one. I bought into her character completely. It raises interesting questions about socioeconomic equality, and the plot was extremely creative. I personally loved how Sager managed to make the ending somewhat shocking and he kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, yet I never felt like he used the ridiculous and eye rolling plot twists that are unfortunately becoming ubiquitous as of late. Solid 4 stars and a fabulous summer read!

Thank you Netgalley and Dutton for the free digital copy!

No family. No job. No boyfriend. No money. Meet Jules Larsen.

When Jules is at the end of her rope and without hope she seeks a quick job and stumbles upon an ad for an apartment sitting job at one of the most glamorious buildingings in New York. Convinced she will not recieve an offer for the job, Jules is thrilled to learn she has not only gotten the job but that the position offers a substantial monthly sum.

Jules is excited to become the Barthalothe's newest resident and quickly dismisses the building managers strict rules: no visitors, no interacting with permanent residents, etc. She decides she can handle a handful of bizarre rules to make a "to good to be true" deal work.

The apartment is idealic, a bit mysterious, and a tad dark but Jules ignores her instincts that say something about the place is a tad "off" until one night she hears a scream. The next morning a fellow apartment sitter has vanished. What unfolds next for Jules is anything but good. Far from good. As far away from good as is possible. It's horrorfying.

Riley Sager's, third, "Locke Every Door"is a fun and fantastic read! The story is paced adequately with interresting characters and plot twists. Sager is a master at creating endings that make your blood turn cold. If you're looking for a good suspence thriller that will entertain, look no further. Well done, Mr Sager. Well done.

Amazing thriller that kept me on edge the whole time! I didn't want to put it down. Riley Sager never disappoints, just keeps coming out with the next best thriller.

I’ve read a couple books by Riley Sager. Though this is not one of my favorites by her I did enjoy this book. It really took a turn I did not see coming and kept me reading.

First and foremost thank you to Netgalley for approving my request Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. What a ride! Sager has the ability to reach out and grab you from the first page, and he doesn't let you go until the end. I was first introduced to Riley Sager by Book of the Month and now he is a MUST READ.
Jules Larsen has been through a lot. Some would call it tragic and some would call it life. Jules is haunted by her past, and is now couch surfing with her bestfriend. Between her cheating boyfriend, and loss of employment she just can't seem to catch a break. Then her luck changes. Responding to an ad for an apartment sitter, she soon discovers that the address is none other than that of the infamous Bartholomew. The setting of a favorite childhood novel that she shared with her sister, Jules is automatically smitten and is absolutely stunned when she finds out that not only is the job there, but the pay is way more than she could hope for, even if taking the job means she has to follow a strict and unsettling list of rules. No guests ever not even family, no pictures, no social media updates, no talking to other residents and you must always be there at night. Easy enough, right? When Jules starts talking to other residents, and they go missing she starts to wonder what she really got herself into. Weird noises, disappearances and rude neighbors all attribute to the storm that is brewing. Is Jules going crazy? Are things what they really seem?
Lock Every Door is a modern day horror story with the twist I didn't see coming. The scary reality of it makes it even harder for me to sleep at night. Riley Sager left my head feeling. This is a definite must own book! Thank you again for the review copy!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I had high hopes for this book, as I am a fan of the authors previous works. I was not disappointed. It is a slow burn to start but the writing keeps you turning to the next page. Creepy characters and an eerie setting make this a quick read that will keep you up late to finish.

I have loved the previous two books by Sager, and I had high hopes for Lock Every Door. While not the strongest of Sager's works, this book was super enjoyable, fast-paced, and unpredictable. Sager leans into older horror tropes in each of his books, and while that could get tiresome, he does it with new twists that keep the stories fresh. In Lock Every Door, we follow Jules Larsen as she takes on a job as a house sitter in an upscale apartment building, famous for its mysterious past and a book written about one of its tenants. Jules happens to be obsessed with this book, and it gets a little annoying how often the book is brought up, considering the plot of the novel-within-a-novel is never really fleshed out and it's not clear why exactly Jules loves it so much. Still, as strange things begin happening in the apartment building, the book hits its stride and I was unable to put it down. I highly recommend this for fans of Sager's other books.

I discovered Riley Sager last summer after seeing him on a panel at Thrillerfest and immediately hopped out to pick up "Final Girls". I became an instant fan of his writing and storytelling. I was so excited to get my hands on an early copy of "Lock Every Door" and thoroughly enjoyed going on my third thrill ride with him.

"Lock Every Door" has all the things I want from a thriller - a complicated protagonist I'm rooting for, some creep factor atmosphere, twisty plot turns, a story that propels me to read "just one more chapter" and a whole lot of "wait...what on earth is going on here?". Happy to say this book did not disappoint.

When Jules comes across an ad to get paid to apartment sit she jumps on the opportunity. She's just lost her job, broke up with her boyfriend and moved out of the apartment they shared. She barely has any money in the bank and to say she's desperate is an understatement. When she finds out that the apartment is a duplex on the top floor of The Bartholomew, an iconic upper west side building that is shrouded in mystery and the home to only the wealthiest of people, it seems her luck is finally turning around. Sure she can't have guests come to visit and is required for spend every night at the apartment, but for $4K a month the rules don't seem so bad.

But Jules barely has a chance to enjoy her Central Park views before she realizes that something is not quite right about The Bartholomew or about the people who live there. And as she begins to ask questions and look into the building's history she quickly learns that if something looks too good to be true it probably is.

I was hooked from the start of this story and was so intrigued. The story built gradually, but was page turning in the "I want to spend more time with these characters and figure out what the deal is". And when I hit the final third of the book I dropped what I was doing to finish the book. I wasn't quite sure where things were going to go, which to me is the best part of a good thriller. And as a New Yorker I also thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of the setting and the Dakota-vibe of the historic apartment building. I am a fan of Riley Sager's writing and characters and was rooting for Jules the whole time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton Publishers for the digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is definitely a must read summer thriller.

Jules is at rock bottom. Lost her job, her boyfriend and she’s sleeping on her best friend’s couch. She also has less than $500 to her name. But then an ad for a apt sitter comes to her attention in a famous building from her fav book. And it pays $1000 a week. Her best friend things it’s too good to be true...
•
What I loved: the plot in general. I thought Sager did a great job of pulling in the history for this old building and relating it to the plot. Loved the dynamics of the people living in the building. Each one played their own role and had a different importance to the book! The alternating timelines went from 6 days before til now, so it was not a long stretch and Sager’s writing keeps the pace fast and moving!
•
What I didn’t love: Jules’ decision making at times. <— can’t say anything more. But mostly, how the Ingrid plot line played out. Again, can’t say why!
•
Read this if you like Riley Sager! He is def consistent, but not in anyway formulaic which I love. Definitely an auto read author for me!

Wow! Loved this book, such a propulsive ride!! Addictive, creepy, perfect! An updated twist on the locked door mystery- Great read!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

This was a very good book. I enjoy how the author writes, and how he keeps me on my toes. This is the second book of his I have read, and I will definitely be reading more from him in the future.

A really good thriller with an interesting twist. It reminded me of the movie 'A Cure for Wellness.' I prefer the author's other books more, but this was still excellent over all.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an exciting thrill ride this book is. I was hooked on the premise and the start of the book. I was fascinated following along even though I wasn’t sure where the book was headed and it paid off big! This is definitely going to be a summer blockbuster. Loved every page. Now go make it into a movie!! Please!!

Another great tale of mystery and suspense by Riley Sager! Just when I thought it was going in one direction, "Lock Every Door" would go in another.

Jules can't believe her good luck when she finds a job "apartment sitting" at the Bartholomew and will get paid $4,000 a month for 3 months to do it. She is down on her luck and between jobs, so she jumps at the chance to interview for the position. She is so excited that she ignores big red flags that her best friend Chloe keeps warning her about, like the fact that she can't leave the apartment at night, and she isn't allowed any visitors. Then Jules meets Ingrid, a neighbor she becomes friendly with, who tells her the dark history of the Bartholomew. At first she tells herself she didn't believe in ghost stories, but when Ingrid goes missing the next night, Jules is determined to find out what happened to Ingrid and rescue her. Lock Every Door is a page turner you're not going to want to put down until the last page.

Riley Sager writes great thrillers. This is something that I feel confident in saying. This novel is no different. Full of creepy occurrences, mystery, and a disturbing twist, this is one of my favorite titles of the year! This story didn't go where I thought it would; it was original and I do not have a solid book comparison. I recommend not reading too much on this book and just start it! Once you begin, you won't be able to stop....

Riley Sager has done it again!

I DEVOURED this book. Less than 24 hours. I could not put it down. Right away, I was sucked in to the interesting idea of getting paid to be an apartment-sitter. There has to be a catch, right?

Jules Larsen has been down on her luck for... well, it seems like forever. After losing her parents and sister as a teenager, Jules has been struggling to get her life together. While other bad-luck things are going on in Jules' life, she comes across an ad to be an apartment-sitter for a whopping $4,000 a month. Who could pass up an opportunity like that?! Jules goes through the interview process and is offered the job of apartment-sitter for 12A at the Bartholomew in NYC. Sure, the rules seem a little extreme, like no visitors. Ever... but Ms. Evelyn assures her the rich tenants just prefer their privacy and quiet.

As Jules begins her stay in the apartment, she starts to think things are a little strange. She is hearing noises, sees strange things in the wall paper, and oddly enough, none of the other residents want to reveal anything about the past of the building. As the days go by, Jules digs deeper into what everyone is so hush-hush about. Is the building's past really that horrible, or do the residents just REALLY like their privacy and to not be bothered?

I loved that I had a strong emotional connection to the majority of the characters, despite whether it was love or hate. I also thought this was a unique take for a story line. Typically, thrillers follow a pretty similar formula and are sometimes predictable. While I did have some inklings about what was happening and/or who was involved, I had no idea the reasons or connections behind it. The chapters were on the shorter side, which for me, always means I read more than I intend to in one sitting. "Just one more chapter..." This book also had just enough of a cliff-hanger at the end of each chapter to make it nearly impossible to put the book down and take a break. Great writing, great style, amazing and unpredictable twists.

A fast-paced, intense, page-turning thriller, this is by far Sager's best work yet. 5 stars

Holy Crap!!! I read this book at night...just warning you now...that wasn't the best idea! But once I started it it was too late! I was immediately engrossed into the story and this creepy af building!

I was not able to guess the ending and I was freaked out the entire time because I could feel that there was a huge demented secret right around the corner!

The ending did not disappoint and this book deserves all the stars!
