Review: The Only One Left

The Only One Left by Riley Sager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was my second book read by Riley Sager and will not be my last. The Only One Left had me hooked with its eerie vibes, suspenseful and easy to read writing, and those chilling plot twists that just kept coming. The letters woven into the story added a unique layer that really pulled me into the setting and the overall creepiness of the tale. The suspense was top-notch, especially as the tension built up toward the end. However, I found the main character frustratingly naive for her age. She often acted without thinking things through, which felt unrealistic, especially when her life was potentially on the line. It made some parts of the story hard to believe, but despite that, I couldn't put the book down as I neared the end. It’s definitely an engaging read that keeps you guessing, even if the protagonist’s decisions leave you scratching your head. It was a little slower paced than I was expecting at times, but still a solid read.
