"Middle of the Night" by Riley Sager is a horror novel that grabs your attention from the very first page. The plot is intensely interesting, packed with sharp twists and turns that create a chilling atmosphere. Sager’s storytelling keeps readers on the edge of their seats, delivering the thrill with every page. Ethan’s character truly steals the limelight, but the supporting characters are equally compelling. Each one has a motive, which becomes a major turning point in the story, adding depth and intrigue. While the narrative flows smoothly, the climax is where things take an unexpected turn. The ending felt a bit cold and left me wanting more. Despite the hype built throughout the book, the final reveal was somewhat underwhelming, like being pushed down the mountain just when you’re expecting to reach the peak. Overall, "Middle of the Night" offers an engaging horror experience, but the climax may leave some readers feeling a bit disappointed. Ethan and Billy camp out in Ethan's back yard every Friday night during the summer. One morning however Ethan wakes to find a slash in the side of the tent and Billy is missing. Thirty years later Ethan comes back to his childhood home and things start to get a little strange. I really enjoyed this book. Its part mystery and part ghost story so what more could I ask for. The story follows mostly Ethan and goes back and forth from the present to the past. There are a few twists in the story and when all is revealed I have to say I didn't guess at all. The ending did venture into thrillerland but I felt was satisfying. The paranormal side was very light and I wouldn't class this book as a horror, more a thriller with a ghost. I would have liked a bit more about the institute but it really wasn't the main part of the story. I have had a hit and miss with Riley Sager, more of a miss with his early books. His latest books I seem to have enjoyed a lot more. I will definitely read more by this author. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:In the latest jaw-dropping thriller from New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager, a man must contend with the long-ago disappearance of his childhood best friendand the dark secrets lurking just beyond the safe confines of his picture-perfect neighborhood. The worst thing to ever happen on Hemlock Circle occurred in Ethan Marshs 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. Someone seems to be roaming the cul-de-sac at odd hours, and signs of Billys presence keep appearing in Ethans backyard. Is someone playing a cruel prank? Or has Billy, long thought to be dead, somehow returned to Hemlock Circle? The mysterious occurrences prompt Ethan to investigate what really happened that night, a quest that reunites him with former friends and neighbors and leads him into the woods that surround Hemlock Circle. Woods where Billy claimed ghosts roamed and where a mysterious institute does clandestine research on a crumbling estate. The closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more he realizes that no placebe it quiet forest or suburban streetis completely safe. And that the past has a way of haunting the present.

I liked how twisty this story was and that Riley was able to keep me guessing until the end. I will definitely be reading more of Riley Slager's work in the future. ( )
