Review: The Last House on Needless Street

The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First of all, the narrator, Christopher Ragland, does a fantastic job with this book. He uses different voices to create the various characters. This story begins with following the protagonist, Ted, who lives in his house with his cat and daughter. The initial conversation that Ted is having seems off somehow, and to me, it was because he speaks as though he is significantly younger, like a small boy who still calls his parents Mommy and Daddy. The reader/listener must decide if this character is a fully grown man, a young person or an intellectually challenged man. I went into the story completely blind and I highly recommend doing it this way. It makes it a little tougher to stick with the beginning as the story is laid out but it is completely worth it. This story is a well crafted, slowly building story and the twists during the last 25% were great. There were some pieces of the story that I anticipated but other parts that I never expected.
Hats off to the author and the narrator for a job well done!

Review: Survive the Night

Survive the Night by Riley Sager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am always looking for the latest Riley Sager novel and am so thankful to the publisher and NetGalley for approving an eARC. Wow. I had seen some mixed reviews but this was a fun read for me. I adore Sager’s writing and for me, this did not disappoint at all.
The concept is centered around a female college student who had an argument with her best friend and roommate who then was murdered by a serial killer the same night. Charlie, the surviving roommate, blamed herself to the point that she cannot function and decided to leave school for awhile. She is leaving her boyfriend of the past year as well. In order to leave school at the time she does, she places a flyer on the ride board to see if any other students are going her direction so that they can share the ride. She immediately found someone and jumped at the chance. Things quickly spiral downhill as she realized that this guy is a stranger to her and then she began to suspect that he was lying to her the entire time. Her radar was activated and she tried to figure out what to do. Many twists and turns later the story unfolds in an intriguing way. This is a page turner of a book and I read it in a day. I loved all the classic movie and music references as well. That was a terrific addition.
Highly recommend!
