First off the narration was great. Imogen Church is one of my favorite narrators .The plot had potential but was choppy and down right ridiculous at times. The ending felt predictable. Disappointed by this one as there are a few books from this author I really enjoyed

I am still waiting for the plot, the twist anything. Random characters and nothing made sense. The main characters were insufferable ..ending was a lot of telling .

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 1,645
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

While the story started off with potential it just lost its way with a few red herrings and ultimately a predictable ending.

This book is below average at best. The story was not engaging and there were gaping plot holes and actions by the main characters that made no sense. Save your credit .

I love Loreth Ann White books but the past two have been underwhelming. There were some plot elements that came out of nowhere and really added nothing to the story. The ending was quite predictable.

The worst thing to ever happen on Hemlock Circle occurred in Ethan Marsh’s backyard. One July night, ten-year-old Ethan and his best friend and neighbor, Billy, fell asleep in a tent set up on a manicured lawn in a quiet, quaint New Jersey cul-de-sac. In the morning, Ethan woke up alone. During the night, someone had sliced the tent open with a knife and taken Billy. He was never seen again. Thirty years later, Ethan has reluctantly returned to his childhood home. Plagued by bad dreams and insomnia, he begins to notice strange things happening in the middle of the night.

Not his best but not bad
Reviewed: 06-20-24
While certainly not his best work, the first 50% and last few chapters were enough to save the rating of this book . The in between bits seemed to be thrown in as filler in an attempt to distract but it just ended up falling flat and I found myself wanting to skip through it all. I will say Riley does a good job with foreshadowing so that the ending ties things in a bit. The narrator could have been better - the way he kept saying "screech" grated on my nerves but maybe that was the point .

It’s the opening night of The Manor, the newest and hottest luxury resort, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; the “Manor Mule” cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, vodka, and a dash of CBD oil) is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen.

Flat
Reviewed: 06-19-24
Absolutely nothing happened in 90% of this book except the constant mention of birds and adults with teenage drama. When the "secret" was revealed it fell flat and honestly at that point I didn't really care. A real disappointment for me since I was looking forward to this one.
One positive - the mention of Trinidad

I usually enjoy Ruth Ware books but this fell flat, with an overdone trope. The story dragged on for too long and there was no real twist. It is extremely similar to The Missing by Kiersten modglin but that book was better.

Five years ago, Tessa Chamberlain was the lone survivor of a beach house massacre that left three of her friends dead—and Tessa with an inescapable, unending dread. Now she’s going back to face her fears. Renting the same beach house where she almost died, Tessa returns to lonely Cassadaga Island off the coast of Maine long after the tourists and summer residents have departed for the winter. But as the fog rolls in and the nights grow longer, she wonders if she made a terrible mistake. There are footsteps on the porch, creaks from the second floor, and an unsettling feeling of being watched.
