Lock Every Door by Riley Sager My rating: 4 of 5 stars Well. Let me say that Riley Sager has been on my radar since I stumbled upon Chapter and Converse on BookTube.

With a tightly knit group of locals who fiercely protect one another, to the invasion of the "Dublin boys" causes havoc on the lives of the residents. But it isn't until Trey comes looking for her brother that Cal's forced to wade into the world everyone wants to hide. View all my reviews
