Summary
If you give this book a one-star review, you might end up dead.
Emma is house-sitting on the rainy Washington coast with only her golden retriever for company. She likes the isolation, the peace and quiet, and the opportunity to read.
But her latest pick, a poorly written and gruesome horror novel, is disappointing and Emma leaves a one-star review. A message dings back - the author, H.G. Kane, has replied and he's furious. Emma brushes it off, until disturbing incidents start to occur. Scratches in the night. A figure crawling around in the shadows.
Kane has written sixteen other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder. He knows he's a brilliant writer - he just needs to make Emma understand...
Expect the unexpected in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of the TikTok sensation No Exit.

Brilliant
Was a very different prospective, with many twists turns and surprises. Loved this book from start to finish. Wouldn't dare give it a one star rating. Lol

Stretches the limits of incredulity too far
I was so looking forward to this book. The idea was great. Something like a literary version of Ripleys game. But …. (Warning: Spoiler alert)… for a man to be run over, shot, stabbed and tasered and still manage to chase the protagonist was ridiculous. As was the mothers character Jules and the annoying pov of the “Space dawg” who kept “talking” throughout. Really irritating!
That being said there is no doubt this author has a great imagination and can most certainly write well but something was lacking in the final version. The story just did not gel. It felt like the author was trying too hard, like “What’s the most ridiculous thing that can happen in the next chapter to keep the listener hooked?” Some of the plot twists were laughable.
I’d still read other work by this author, but for me this particular book was a thumbs down.

Gripping
Believable twists and turns keep you hoping that Emma will win through. so much more than a thriller. Beautiful depth.

Tense, clever, good strong characters
Brilliant and tense storyline. Best book I've listened to in ages. I'm now going to buy the book to read as I found it fascinating to listen to. so many books don't have in depth characters. This book does. Highly recommend

Fun thriller
After having watched and listened to No Exit I had some reasonably high hopes for this one and this book delivered. The action, suspense, twists and turns were great fun and I was in it from the start. The reveals and the twists weren't the most surprising ever but boy were they satisfying.
Lately I've been struggling to get sucked into a book but this did the trick, I wanted more, always wanted to keep going and kept coming back to it. I totally recommend and would watch the movie if it were ever made! Go for it, it's highly enjoyable!!
