“Movie magic. It’s a palpable thing.”

Riley Sager takes us on another wild ride full of twists we saw coming and several that came out of nowhere. 

I’d label  this more of a horror/thriller rather than mystery/thriller like his other books.

🇳🇱: een goed boek met de nodige spanning. Er gebeurt heel veel en door de schrijfwijze lees je hem zo weg. Ik zag het plot niet aankomen , ondanks dat ik dat vaak wel in de gaten heb. Ik heb het boek de laatste twee dagen amper weg kunnen leggen zo spannend was het. Het is ook een orgineel concept. Wel vond ik de films in haar hoofd zelf wat verwarrend, ik wist zelf niet meer wat echt was en niet. Doordat er zoveel gebeurde raakte ik soms ook de draad kwijt. Al met al een goed boek met snijdende spanning


 🇬🇧: a good book with the necessary tension. A lot happens and the writing makes it easy to read. I didn't see the plot coming, even though I often notice it. I could hardly put the book down the last two days, it was so exciting. It is also an original concept. I did find the films in her head a bit confusing, I no longer knew what was real and what was not. Because so much was happening, I sometimes lost track. All in all a good book with cutting tension

I’m really not sure what I expected but I was curious how an entire book could be set just on a road trip with a potential serial killer while still being interesting. For someone who often guesses what happens/twists/etc easily and early on, this book caught me off guard. I had a fun time although it did feel flat in some places (ie the ending and certain characters) and rushed in others. I’d read it again just to see what it’s like knowing everything you know after finishing the book!

Character development was good for the most part, however it lacked background of one of the most crucial characters.
