Genre: Adult, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller
Synopsis:
Two Truths and a Lie. The girls played it all the time in their tiny cabin at Camp Nightingale. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and first-time camper Emma Davis, the youngest of the group. The games ended when Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out of the cabin in the dead of night. The last she--or anyone--saw of them was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips.
Now a rising star in the New York art scene, Emma turns her past into paintings--massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches that cover ghostly shapes in white dresses. The paintings catch the attention of Francesca Harris-White, the socialite and wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale. When Francesca implores her to return to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor, Emma sees an opportunity to try to find out what really happened to her friends.
Yet it's immediately clear that all is not right at Camp Nightingale. Already haunted by memories from fifteen years ago, Emma discovers a security camera pointed directly at her cabin, mounting mistrust from Francesca and, most disturbing of all, cryptic clues Vivian left behind about the camp's twisted origins. As she digs deeper, Emma finds herself sorting through lies from the past while facing threats from both man and nature in the present. And the closer she gets to the truth about Camp Nightingale, the more she realizes it may come at a deadly price.

Now a full-time author, Riley's first thriller, FINAL GIRLS, became a national and international bestseller and was called "the first great thriller of 2017" by Stephen King. Translation rights have been sold in more than two dozen countries and a film version is being developed by Universal Pictures.
Riley's next book, THE LAST TIME I LIED, will be published in July. It was inspired by the classic novel and film "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and one horrible week Riley spent at summer camp when he was ten.
A native of Pennsylvania, Riley now lives in Princeton, New Jersey. When he's not working on his next novel, he enjoys reading, cooking and going to the movies as much as possible. His favorite film is "Rear Window." Or maybe "Jaws." But probably, if he's being honest, "Mary Poppins."

This book sounds very suspenseful with a lot of twists! I loved The Chalk Man :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful to have been given the opportunity to take part in this tour! I LOVED the book!! Another thriller that I read recently and also loved was Glimpse by Jonathan Maberry.
ReplyDeleteI love to read thrillers and haven't read a really good one yet, but the suspense keeps me reading. I just bought A Night Divided by J. Nielsen.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love the cover, and I've been on a major thriller kick for the last couple of years. I love there's a camp involved - that always ups the creep and suspense factors. Some thrillers I've loved include Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens and Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris.
ReplyDeleteI loved Riley Sager’s First book Final Girls so much! It was one of my top reads of the year!! I’m a big fan of B.A Paris’ books and Ruth Ware’s.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kris Marie -- I really enjoyed Final Girls. So, I am so eager to read Sager's latest. I love the cover to boot. Thanks! --Kara S
ReplyDeleteAhhh this sounds so good!!
ReplyDeleteThe last thriller I read and loved was The Opposite of Here by Tara Altebrando!
