If you've read The Only One Left, then you’ll totally understand why it’s so difficult to explain the twists! I loved Lock Every Door but did not like Survive The Night!! My expectations may have been too high going into it - BUT, with such a small cast of characters - it was just obvious who the killer was - and then the rest just became redundant theatre - I was sooo disappointed because I really wanted to love it - glad you did though!

I had to look it up after cause I was confused I thought Ricky and Ricardo were the same person and I thought Archie was also sleeping with Ricky then who was his best friends lover.. idk how I got that wrong . When i looked stuff up afterwards I also musta missed that part that Archie was African American. I thought the whole house crumbling at the end was kinda un realistic and that the house kept moving down the cliff every night was too but I did love this kinda like dark clue who done it mystery. If you have read verity it deff had those vibes mixed in this book with Virginia . I really wanted kit to get with carter she just did him dirty and he didn’t like her no more at the end ha!

The Only One Left was the first book by Sager that I read and I loved it. I wasn't expecting all the twists and turns (as I said, this was my first book of his I read) and I actually can't wait to read it again. After looking at various book reviews as well as reading two more books by Sager (The House Across The Lake and Final Girls) I can see what people are saying regarding his writing style, his similarities, his love for a twist to tie things up near the end, the set up for an eager page turner... Yada Yada later, I get why some people don't like his writing or his stories, as well as the tediousness of twists all the time. So I can only imagine long time readers of his who, by the time they get to The Only One Left, are more exasperated at the twists than a newcomer like myself. But, I enjoyed the book a lot. Simple writing, crazy page turning protentional, interesting spin on the haunted house/ family tragedy. Most people probably don't like the book, but I was a fan and I will read it again.

Well Ricardo and Ricky are two completely different characters so you should probably go back to actually reading books instead of playing games while listening.

You know, during my long rant and the editing process I thought I messed that up. We decided to not make my rant have no cuts to show the madness going through my head at the time and I guess that completely slipped through during that whole thinking process, oops! My apologies for the error!

I also gave it 5 stars and it's also one of my favorite books of the year so far. I'm shocked! 😳😁

Yeah, it's confusing at times so much happening in this book 😄 anyway I really enjoyed it. I gave it 4 stars. The reason why I can't give it five star is I don't think there is no tension/suspense in the story it's felt like a pure mystery.
