Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Apartment sitting for $4000 a month, a few strange rules. It seems to good to be true…and it definitely is. The ending is where this book shines, it stills makes me shiver to think how cold and creepy this book descends. 1st Riley Sager book will defo pick up another.

Slow night at work tonight so maybe I will read for a little bit. 🤔🤓🤪

Apparently I am in the mood for mysterious apartments this month 🤔🤓📖

Thank you @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🖤

I feel like everyone must be sick of me recommending Sager😂 But I‘m a sucker for a thriller, and he just knocks them out of the park! 🖤

Typically a thriller, or self-improvement books that really hit home👌🏼✨

I usually only recommend when asked!

I have LOVED Sanger‘s other work, but this one couldn‘t pull me in the way the others did. It had all the right ingredients, but to me the finished product wasn‘t what I had hoped.

Well, this book is most definitely a thriller. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen. I make it sound like a movie. So a young woman answers an ad for an apartment sitter in a very fancy building in Manhattan. But there might be a reason this is too good to be true.

I had an #ARC from #Netgalley from 2019. Trying to sort out my pre-pandemic mess. I definitely read more now.

This book was very addictive and the ending was so good! I do think the MC missed some obvious clues in her investigation but otherwise it was really enjoyable.

⭐⭐⭐ didn't hate it and didn't love it. But kept me interested to keep reading. The ending was so-so

“Pain equals clarity. Clarity equals survival.”

A bit of predictability on seeing certain reoccurring themes but fantastic read nonetheless. May even go a step further in saying I enjoyed this more than Home Before Dark. Jules wasn‘t the most fascinating but her history definitely adds more unresolved mystery. Gave me Rosemary‘s Baby vibes.

Another Riley Sager book added to the read pile 📚

Friend recommended after I read Home Before Dark. Enjoying so far & can not wait to see what‘s behind door 12A.

1. One of this month‘s book club selections.
2. I‘m not a big fan of thrillers, but this one is intriguing me so far.

🤩I‘m anticipating The Madness of Crowds so much, I put both the ebook and physical book on hold. Now they‘re both available! #bookishproblems
💞I‘m newly grateful this week for the ability to work from home.

Okay I have been in a severe reading slump so maybe this book should get extra points cause I finished it! 🎉🥳🤣 I really liked Home Before Dark too so I think I will have to check out more of Riley Sager's books 😊 ⭐⭐⭐.5

So twisted. So good. I can‘t wait to get into more of Sagers books👏🏻
The Bartholomew has a checkered past, but it is the perfect place to restart for Jules!
Is the Bartholomew too good to be true?

Lots of fun and the perfect amount of spooky vibes. Not scary but has you truly guessing what the heck is going on. (Also, I am in love with this cover!)

Set in New York.

All the posts about the new Sager have reminded me that I never got around to this one. And it was a loooong work day, so embracing it.

Ok, minority opinion apparently but
❎ Meh characters, most campy
❎ Last 10% contains the bulk of the action but it's not enthralling just faster paced
❎ Ridiculous plot - actually made me laugh
❎ Guessed the main "baddie" the second they appeared
❎ Imho poor writing
❎ Not creepy, scary, horrifying or anything of the sort
Author should have just written an essay on the class differences in the US and poverty.

It was so long ago (or so it seems) that I TBRd this that I really didn't know what to expect. I was hoping for something really creepy (home invasions gives me the chills), something that'd make me question sounds in the house but tbh it ain't doin that, in fact, it just ain't all that good. But as you can see I'm sticking it out. I was hoping it would get better but at this point I'm just hoping for a speedy end.

This book was a fast read with nice suspense and plot twists.

The last thrillers I read about murder mystery. Both were scary and creepy, but I enjoyed reading them.

Rainy day reading with my puppy 📚🌧️🐶

I‘m making the most of a cold and overcast afternoon with tea, nibbles, and a new author. ☕️ 🧀 📚

I previously read and enjoyed the hardback version of this book but wanted to listen to the audiobook for comparison. Still really enjoyed it! The narrator did a good job of keeping the tension building and bringing the characters to life. This is my favorite Riley Sager novel so far! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

It is a buddy read with my friends.

Another great story from Riley Sager! I came into this book expecting something else, but was not unsatisfied as a reader. The way the author draws you into their world with vivid words makes you a part of an experience that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat.

It was okayyyyyy; maybe I just need to switch genres for a bit. Still full off twists and turns, though. Just a bit reaching

I'm not gonna lie. I was so bored for the first half of this book, but things picked up. I ended up enjoying it, so I'm glad I pushed through.

This was my Feburary #bookspin book. ✔

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoy Sanger‘s books so much. I get pulled in as the story/tension builds and enjoy the scares and twists. While I picked up on parts of the shocks, I was surprised by how it all came together. My February #DoubleSpin is in the books! 🥳💜🤗

Light slices the darkness, jerking me awake.

#FirstLineFridays

I found the first 90% of this book to be slow and the last 10% to be page-turner material. For creepy mysteries I prefer Ruth Ware.

@candority - my #cupidswap parcel was ordered today. It is being sent via Amazon.

Something sinister resides at the Bartholomew, a Gothic structure with a creepy past and some elite residents. When Jules gets a chance to apartment sit, she thinks her run of bad luck is over. She could not be more wrong. As someone/thing lurks with sinister intentions, she only lasts 6 days in the famed building.

Scary past 2 days as I got hot with a bad flu. Just received word that my covid test was negative. Thankful that I had great books to keep me distracted.

AMAZING. Terrifying. I couldn't out this one down. It gives you a sense of unease all the way through and has an incredible ending.

I am at the edge of my seat with fear. Holy smokes this book is fantastic.

It just so happens that my first read of the year came up as my #bookspin for January...so I'm off to a pretty good start!

I have mixed feelings about this book. It's a fast-paced page turner that I didn't want to put down, but I was also super frustrated by the main character. She did so many stupid things! I still think it's worth a read of you're just looking for a quick thriller.

This was surprising and mysterious with an interesting setting. I really enjoyed how this story unfolded.

What are you reading? 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

Great idea for a book. Enjoyed the first 2/3. But the whole reason the bad guys are doing their bad deeds is ridiculous and ruined it for me....

Wow, what a wild story! I read this ebook during my lunch breaks at work and it was a great book. However, that ending was so terrifying!
My third finished book for #NovelNovember hosted by @Andrew65 and I have met my goal already! Maybe I can get a bonus book finished by Sunday. 😊

I enjoyed this novel. It is well written, clearly developed, and terrifyingly addictive. In a modern-day nod to “Rosemary‘s Baby,” you will not be able to read this book fast enough. Your heart will race, your anticipation will spike, and you will be scared.

Welcome to the Bartholomew, where residents move in... and never move out.
