- Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, author of Finals Girls, The Last Time I Lied, and the newest book Home Before Dark! Our protagonist Jules is down on her luck. No job, no boyfriend, no hope. But one day she gets lucky and lands a job working as an apartment sitter at this fancy-smancy building called the Bartholomew. It's the break she needed, even if there are sooooo many rules about what she can and can't do while she's apartment sitting. Especially the rule that she has to stay alone at the apartment every single night.
And especially, especially since her friend and fellow apartment sitting just went missing too...
But all that money though. I'd probably throw caution to the wind too XD
This thriller made me remember why I love this genre so much: all the dangers are so probable and real! It's a creepy creepy world out there!

The first thing I thought of when I finished this book, " this is could happen to me! This is probably happening right now!" I liked this book, but I really enjoyed his Last Time I Lied book. Your thumbnail is beautiful!
for such a grim book, the first thing I always think of is just how pink it is! XD
Exactly. If I were her, I would have also taken the job. It would have happened to me too.. to any of us.. That’s only PART of what makes this book so scary to me.
"Oh he's dead honey" 😂😂😂
deader than my love life XD
Oh awesome. This is super encouraging because I just got the new Riley Sager book and I wasn' t positive how good is was going to be, but this gives me good vibes.
I need to read that new one too, plus Final Girls!
I feel like I was so sure that the villain HAD to be different because there was no way they would have revealed him so quickly. Did anyone else have that happen?
I really liked this book, I read it in a day, it’s hard to put it down. I’d say the first half is a bit slow but still entertaining. The plot is somehow predictable but still holds its own magic. I’d def recommend it.
yay so glad another liked it!!
Great reviews! Spoilery questions...

- Do you think the fire on the 7th floor was intentional, like part of the big scheme somehow? Or just for character development?
- What would the in-story rational be for keeping up the fake hospital facade?
I think that fire was an accident, because it almost killed one of the key, rich tenants. It also allowed to the author lady to see our hero in a new light, as an actual person.
And as for them keeping up the fake hospital thing, it seems over dramatic for them, and a lot of effort when they could just keep her drugged and quiet. I don't know what their rationale would be for faking, but it made a good twist anyways lol even tho it don't make that much sense XD
I just finished Lock Every Door and I LOVE IT!!!!!

When Jules met Nick, I was like “When you’re a hot guy in a thriller, you’re the serial killer!”
And then around page 100, it got me thinking “Wait a minute... Manhattan. Apartment. Line of surgeon family. Young females are missing. It sounds like....... H. H. HOLMES!!!!!”
I remembered the hotel to trapped people and also Sherlock BBC’s adaptation of similar hospital.
“Ohhh fck! Jules is not in a real hospital. SHE’S STILL INSIDE!!!”
I’m very proud of myself to be able to guessed some plots 😂
I didn't guess the fake hospital at all!!🤣
Yes! I feel the same way. You can’t really say much without giving the good stuff away lol
it's like "this book is good, real good....that's it." XD
lost in a booKCase 😂😂😭 exactly!
Cool video, KC!
thank you so much!! Have a great day!
This one sounds way too creepy for me 😂 but I get creeped out so easily
lol same XD
Spoiler Warning!
I just finished this book and loved it. It was an eye-opening read during this global pandemic. Specifically the intersection between class and health care.
While there may not be a black-market organ-harvesting operation going on, you know that all over the world, some doctors and others are making life and death decisions not based on science or likelihood of recovery, but by coronavirus patients’ class and perceived social worth. I’ve listened to tearful nurses recount how some patients are left to die while “the doctor’s wife” patient is given every possible care and consideration. It’s really gross.
Thanks for this review!
oh my...that is honestly really heartbreaking!!
Jolly good show, lassie. Spot on.
it was such a fun/dark book!
Riley Sager is my favorite! Last girls book was freaking awesome!! Omg. I am yet to read this though ☺️
I really need to get to Final Girls soon!!
lost in a booKCase yes please! Can’t wait to hear what you think about it!
Oh ma GURD. I was yelling at this book most of the time I was reading it, had to walk away from it and then came crawling back to keep reading. It made me angry. But in a fun way. Are you going to cover the new one coming out soon?
I hope I'll be able too! I'm running out of thriller books XD
lost in a booKCase also - I love your accent!
@@bookishandbewildered aww thanks!! XD
They should make books for smart people 😂
agreed!
I have been wanting to pick this one up!
it has my stamp of approval!!
I thought I was the only one who didn't like Turn of the Key 😁
nah, that book was pretty boring XD
haha i also feel the same way. Also a small tuber 😅
This one was (mildly) disappointing. I had high hopes in the beginning, but it was just okay overall. The atmosphere and setting were fun, but the Big Reveal was lacking.
I did guess the twist before I even read it XD
