Lock Every Door

by Riley Sager

Publisher: Dutton Books

Release Date: July 2, 2019

Genre: Adult, Horror, Thriller

Synopsis:

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.

As she gets to know the residents and staff of the Bartholomew, Jules finds herself drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who comfortingly, disturbingly reminds her of the sister she lost eight years ago. When Ingrid confides that the Bartholomew is not what it seems and the dark history hidden beneath its gleaming facade is starting to frighten her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story . . . until the next day, when Ingrid disappears.

Searching for the truth about Ingrid's disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew's dark past and into the secrets kept within its walls. Her discovery that Ingrid is not the first apartment sitter to go missing at the Bartholomew pits Jules against the clock as she races to unmask a killer, expose the building's hidden past, and escape the Bartholomew before her temporary status becomes permanent.

Creed by Trisha Leaver & Lindsay Currie

Publication: November 8, 2014

Publisher: Flux

Source: Publisher

Three went in. Three came out. None even a shadow of who they once were. When their car breaks down, Dee, her boyfriend Luke, and his brother Mike walk through a winter storm to take refuge in a nearby town called Purity Springs. When they arrive, the emergency sirens are blaring and the small farming town seems abandoned. With no other shelter, they spend the night in an empty house. But they soon discover that not everything in Purity Springs is as it seems. When the town's inhabitants suddenly appear the next morning, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the mercy of the charismatic leader, Elijah Hawkins, who plans to make Dee his new wife. Elijah's son, Joseph, offers to help them escape . . . but the price of his help may be more than Dee and her friends can bear.

Dee comes up with what she believes is the perfect anniversary gift for her and her boyfriend Luke; tickets to Luke’s favorite band. The only thing is she needs Mike, Luke’s brother to pull off the lie she tells Luke’s parents and her legal guardians.

The plan seems simple, make up a story to tell the parents, hit the road, see the concert, then stay overnight at a hotel and head back the next day. Unfortunately for them, things begin to take on an eerie turn when they run out of gas and have to walk to the nearest town (Purity Springs) in bad weather. What follows is a crazy fight for survival against an unbalanced religious maniac and his followers.

Dee is a fighter; she has had a rough childhood, but now she is in a better and stable home. Luke is very smart and is also a star athlete. Mike and Luke are very close. Mike likes to talk a lot of smack, which often gets him in trouble. Thankfully Luke has no problem attempting to bail him out. No matter how hard of a time these two may give each other, they have each others back.

Bits and pieces of Dee’s past life are talked about, but with not much detail.  I wished that I was able to get more information about what happened to her before.

Creed was a very interesting read. It did take a few chapters for me to really get into the story.  I was expecting it to be a lot more scarier or creepier than it actually was. I wasn’t always on the edge of my seat with anticipation, but I did find myself caring about what happened to Luke, Mike, and Dee. The ending made me think that there might be a second book. But that is probably just wishful thinking on my part.

RATING: 3-3½ out of 5.

Waiting on Wednesday # 18

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine. The goal is to spotlight upcoming books that I am super excited for.

This week I am waiting on Creed by Trisha Leaver and Lindsay Currie.

Expected Publication: November 2014

Publisher: Flux

Dee Langley is seventeen and mere months away from total freedom and a life where state social workers, counselors, and foster parents don’t dictate her every move. She has spent years trying to eke out a normal existence, hiding from her past and walking the tenuous line between denial and self-preservation. A weekend away with her boyfriend, Luke, and his brother, Mike, seems like the perfect opportunity to forget and start over. Little does Dee know that she's just trading one hell for another. When an unexpected storm and a lack of gas force their car off the road, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves with no other choice but to wander into the nearby town of Purity Springs for help. But it’s not good Samaritans they find, but rather complete and utter silence, every store and every house abandoned. Forced to seek shelter in one of the deserted homes, they uncover a disturbing book with explicit instructions on how to correctly rear a child, complete with a hand written record of its use. It’s not until the next morning, however, that they discover the alarming truth – the town isn’t abandoned; it is populated by a deadly cult, and the leader, Elijah Hawkins, has plans for the three of them. The group’s only hope for survival lies in the hands of Elijah’s son, Joseph. But is Joseph really their ticket to freedom or is his game just as deadly as his father’s? Three went in, and three will come out, but not a single one will ever be a shadow of who they once were.

I've had this book on my radar for a little while and recently noticed that a cover was released for it. Thrillers are right up my alley. Creed sounds like it would be an edge of your seat thriller and I am excited to read it.

That’s what I have my eye on this week. What book are you looking forward to??

The Murmurings by Carly Anne West

Synopsis:

Everyone thinks Sophie’s sister, Nell, went crazy. After all, she heard strange voices that drove her to commit suicide. But Sophie doesn't believe that Nell would take her own life, and she’s convinced that Nell’s doctor knows more than he’s letting on.

As Sophie starts to piece together Nell’s last days, every lead ends in a web of lies. And the deeper Sophie digs, the more danger she’s in—because now she’s hearing the same haunting whispers. Sophie’s starting to think she’s going crazy too. Or worse, that maybe she’s not….

******************************************

Sophie’s sister Nell was committed to a mental institution because she kept hearing voices in her head.  She later escaped and was found dead. Now Sophie is determined to find out what the voices were saying to Nell and why she ended up dead.  If of course the voices do not get to Sophie first and drive her crazy.

What I did not like:

I was not completely into the romance in the book. It felt kind of so-so to me. Like there could have been more to it or left out of the story completely.   

My Thoughts:

I have to admit that by solely looking at the cover, I thought I was in for a creepy story that would keep me up at night.

The story got off to a good start, but the further I ventured into the story the more I began to realize that it was not as scary as I had hoped that it would be.

But, it was a good story and there were some definite creepy moments that had me glued to my seat. The writer did a good job of making the reader guess what was going on while adding a bit of spookiness to the story.

Rating: 3 out of 5.

**I received this book from Simon and Schuster / Simon Pulse in exchange for nothing, but my honest review. Thank you!**
