I couldn’t put this book down. I seriously finished this in one sitting because it was incredibly entertaining and attention grabbing. I think it's fair to say that Riley Sager is my favourite contemporary author. I still think that Final Girls is a stronger book however this one is still great.
If you are a fan of the horror genre, especially horror movies, I'm sure you would like it. Even though this book could be considered more of a thriller than a horror, Sager is a master in making you feel the creepy and disturbing setting through imagery. I wouldn't say it is the most terrifying thing I've read but it definitely gave me the creeps.

Graphic: Child death and Death
Moderate: Mental illness, Suicide, and Violence
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Cancer, Gore, and Sexism
The adult/minor relationship is only ever suggested and never confirmed, the minor in question was 16. If you have an irrational fear of snakes, maybe skip it.
