  • Lock Every Door (Book)

    Book: Lock Every Door

    Author: Riley Sager

    This was my 3rd book by this author. This book started off a little slow for me, but the middle and end were great and I did not expect how it ended. It was about a girl named Jules who lost her job, boyfriend, place and just seemed like nothing was going right for her. She gets a call to be an apartment sitter and make good money just babysitting the Bartholomew. She told her best friend who warned her not to go but it just sounded too good to be true.

    She read stories and heard so many creepy stories about living at this place. As she moves into the apartment and meets other apartment sitters. She hears so many sounds and the place just seems to be creepy. The people don’t converse with others, and she finds different things in the house that seem strange.

    Jules gets to be friends with one of the other apartment sitters and then she goes missing. She tries to research to see what really happened to the other apartment sitter. I can’t tell much more of the book.

    It is a twist to it, and it is a page turner. If you have checked out the book let me know what you thought of the book.

  • The House Across the Lake Book

    Book: The House Across the Lake

    Got a chance to read this book.  This is the second book I have read by this author. This was a good book with a twist. This was about Casey Fletcher who was an actress. She met a man and later they got married 5 years later she thought he was her everything and he died. When he died, she turned to alcohol. She lost her job and everything. Her mom had a lake house and that’s where her husband died.

    Casey goes back to the Lake house, and she ends up meeting all the other tenants around the lake house. She was out one day, and she saw something floating. It happens to be Katherine Royce who is famous. She saves Katherine’s life and they become friends.

    Casey is at the lake, and she has binoculars which she looks through and kind of spy and watch what’s going on at Katherine’s home. One night she sees Katherine and husband get into it. She goes to sleep, and she is tipsy. She heard a scream but really couldn’t move. Katherine goes missing but Casey thinks her husband killed her but can’t prove it.

    She tells the neighbor about what she heard, and he heard it too. Casey and the neighbor go to investigate. Then comes to find out she doesn’t know who to trust.  Even though she drinks a lot of  alcohol Casey has a good memory. She gets the police involved but she still does her own investigation. Casey solves a lot of things and puts two and two together. She is wrong about some things but she figures them out and comes up with a plan.

    There are plenty of stories about the Lake being haunted but people think it’s just a fairytale. There are three young ladies that’s also missing, and the police have been trying to find them but after coming on to find out what’s going on with Katherine going missing, they find more information about the ladies.

    I don’t want to give up the story, but this was a great book. I say always keep your eyes open, you never know what’s going on close to you. Please don’t drink. Think of the others that care about you.

    If you read the book, what did you think about it? If not, check it out. Also make sure to join Cece Book Cub.

  • Home Before Dark by Riley Sager

    Book: Home Before Dark

    Author: Riley Sager

    This Book was good. It was about a little girl named Maggie at the time who was about 5 years old and her parents moved into Baneberry Hall. Where this house had a reputation of generation after generation of people dying in the home. It was also connected to a graveyard, but the parents didn’t know too much about the home and the neighborhood. The dad writes a book telling his experience about this haunted house he lives in. The book was pretty good but brought a bad name to the neighborhood and people did not believe the things he said in the book.

    Now it’s 25 years later and Maggie is grown up. Her parents don’t like to talk about the book and what went on in that house. Her dad passed away and left her that house in Baneberry Hall that he says is haunted. He tells her to never go in that house. She read the book and wanted to really know what happened in that house. She goes back to the house to see if things will come back, and she can find clarity. This House is called the house of horrors.

    As Maggie stays in this house and talks to people, she finds out different information and things each time and each visit in this house. Is this house really haunted or was this all made up. Did the things in the book really happen? This book you must read to see what really happens and see if this house is really haunted by ghosts. Maggie gets all the answers she is looking for but you would never believe what happens to Maggie and what goes on in this Haunted house that is now hers.

    Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in spirits? Do you like thrillers? Well check this book out and tell me what you think of it.
