The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

This book was a wild ride from start to finish. I’ve only read one Riley Sager book in the past so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Apparently supernatural elements are somewhat common for this author which I didn’t know so I was very unsure what to expect with this book. The beginning did grind my gears a bit. The traumatized single woman with a drinking problem who doubts what they see and spies on their neighbours is a little bit OVERDONE at this point in time. Having that trope shoved in my face right off the bat made me feel like this book would be too similar to others with the same trope and that I wouldn’t enjoy it. But I stuck with it and I’m glad I did because, even though the main character was generic, the plot was different enough from anything I’d read that it kept me hooked.
