I hate to leave a two star rating, but I feel it's necessary in this case. This is the first book by Riley Sager I've read, and this could be the reason I found myself blindsided. I don't like paranormal books. If I'm reading one, I want to know early on, and a campfire ghost story, IMO, isn't enough to tell a reader the answer to the story question is a ghost.

There were other issues I felt, repetitive prose, plot, blatant withholding, pacing which all added up to two stars. Sorry but I just didn't like it.
