Lock Every Door

Wow! This is one of those books that I truly needed some time to digest before I could even begin my review. I kept hearing about this author, had yet to read one of his titles and am SO glad I did.

This book was a thrilling journey following Jules, a broke, newly single, heartbroken young woman who is struggling and truly down to her last bit of cash with no hopes for work in sight. When she responds to an ad for a job as an apartment sitter, the deal is too good to be true and she wonders how she managed to find such an incredible offer. A massive, beautiful apartment in the Bartholomew, a famous apartment building in Manhattan whose current residents are of elite status and incredibly wealthy. It also has a history and some truly disturbing stories to go along with it... and her new “job” consists of living in the apartment, with some major stipulations.

After befriending a fellow apartment sitter, the building's dark history starts to come out, leaving Jules scared and searching for answers. With the help of some curious residents and a search into the building's history, Jules is left with an even bigger fear... getting out alive.

This book was absolutely incredible and I did not want to put it down! Also left me researching the history of many similar buildings in the city (an interesting little research rabbit hole it has sent me down!) Can't recommend this book or author enough! The characters were so incredibly interesting, the history drew me in and Riley expertly kept me on the edge of my seat with his incredible writing and a deviously clever plot. I'll surely be back for more!!
