Book Thoughts: The Only One Left by Riley Sager

Calling fans of Verity by Colleen Hoover (5 stars) — Don’t sleep on this one! Immersive, thrilling, twisty, and smart, Riley Sager’s latest release, The Only One Left, is perfect for readers of all genres. The book’s set in the 80s, with most of the story taking place in an old, remote murder mansion built on the edge of a cliff. The spooky vibes are on point here: a creaking house, footsteps down the hallway in the middle of the night, shadows under the door frame and in the window, morally questionable characters with dark secrets, and a paranormal feeling, among other things. It’s good!
