Lock Every Door



I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. First below is the Goodreads summary, then my actual review.

πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘πŸ”‘

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.

Jules was a fascinating character with a tragic background that made her the fighter she was throughout this story, and I loved reading about all her memories as well as her interactions with each of the fellow residents of the Bartholomew. You could literally feel the palpable terror rising from the page as each situation occurred and it was amazing!!! Holy cow. This was my first Riley Sager book, but it definitely won't be my last. This book kept me on my toes right from the start and kept me guessing the entire way through. Just when I THOUGHT I had it figured out, it took a different turn. The person I mainly suspected did end up being a culprit, but it was in a FAR more complex way than I could have ever even imagined. 5🌟 for sure

Batman: Nightwalker

Bruce Wayne is a senior in HS when we first meet him in this story. His best friends are Diana and Harvey Dent. Since his parents died, it has been up to Bruce to continue their annual gala where they contribute to different charities. This year's gala is different though... it's held on Bruce's birthday, on which he decides to go for a ride in one of Wayne Tech's exotic new cars. Unfortunately he rides straight into a path that ends up leading him to a sentence of working the summer at Arkham. While there, he encounters the mysterious Madeline. She's more trouble than Bruce realized. 4/5🌟 Rating I'm really enjoying this series so far. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Catwoman! 
5🌟 ♪Who-o-oa, Vampirina... Coolest ghoul in the human wo-or-orld ♪ We LOVED this Little Golden Book adaptation of one of the episodes from the Disney Jr series. It's got two of LO's favorite things... Vampirina herself AND a baby. Vampirina is recruited to help babysit when her aunt comes to town with baby Nosferatu. Her dad is too busy watching the fangball championship featuring his favorite team, The Trolls. Vampirina should have it handled... after all, how much trouble could a baby vampire be???

The Woman In The Window

You guys, I'm ashamed to say it took me so long to read this book. I had started it a couple of times but never really got past the first 40 pages or so. Since I was already in a slump, I decided to give it another go and took the plunge. Check out this blurb from Goodreads, and then my review. πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ· Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble—and its shocking secrets are laid bare. What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems. πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ·πŸ‘€πŸ“ΈπŸ· Y'al...
