Review: The Only One Left - Riley Sager - June 2023 Near the end of last year, I read Survive the Night by Riley Sager and decided that I was going to read all of Riley Sager's booklist I was determined to get it done by the end of 2023 and now I can tick the goal off my reading list as with The Only One Left finished, I am now up to date with his books.

            Review: Home Before Dark - Riley Sager - June 2020 At the beginning of the year, I decided that 2023 would be my year of catching up and reading all of Riley Sager's backlist and after finishing this one, I only have two left which includes his most recent release.

Curious to find out once and for all about the twenty days and to discover what ...
