    I needed something more horror adjacent since summerween is drawing near and I love slahser/horror books. This pne caight my eye and I am hereby giving Riley Sager a second chance. !Across the lake spoiler! I read The house across the lake by him idk like 3 years ago or smth and I hated the end (like I'm sorry don't Market it as a thriller when it's paranormal...) But so far this book is fine and slowly the creepiness starts. I also like the Split parts between Maggie and the book her father wrote.

    To re-read or to not re-read?

    I've read this book for class in high school and didn't really like it. It's been 6 years though, so now I'm wondering if I should give it a second chance or if I should just put it to rest? Any thoughts? Or maybe anyone else who's in the same boat?

  • The One
    A Masterpiece from Start to Finish

    One of the best books I have ever read—possibly the best. The One had me hooked from the very first page and maintained a perfect pace throughout. Every chapter left me wanting more, making it incredibly difficult to put down.

    A huge round of applause to John Marrs for creating such a gripping, thought-provoking, and brilliantly crafted story. If you’re considering reading this book but aren’t sure, don’t hesitate—you won’t be disappointed.

    I honestly don’t know what else to say except that I didn’t want it to end. If this book were 1,000 hours long, I would happily keep reading (or listening). Finishing it felt like saying goodbye to something truly special.
