Middle of the Night

Riley Sager its looks like we have come to the end of the road…
And I am now officially ready to let you go!
What was this book please?
Middle of the night summed up is about a boy named Ethan who had a sleepover with his friend Billy in the tent in his backyard and in the middle of the night when he wakes up, his sees that the tent has a slit sliced into it and his friend Billy is no longer there. 30 years later Billy is still missing. Ethan has moved back to his hometown; he is plagued with insomnia and starts noticing strange things happening in the middle of the night .😏 What’s going on? Is someone playing tricks on him? Or has Billy, who was believed to be dead returned home?
Sounds eerie and ominous right!? WROOOOOOOOOOOONG! What an absolute snooze fest! I was so damn bored! It was repetitive and the plot really didn’t feel like it was going anywhere. I swear to you it was a struggle to remain focused as I couldn’t give a flying F about what happened to Billy.
The mini revelations along the way was lackluster and the conclusion to the story was not exciting and was cliched and boringly told.
The main protagonist Ethan… sigh! A rock has more personality. There was nothing interesting about him. It was all 'Billy, Billy, Billy'. We barely know anything else about him. So, because of this it made it hard for me to give a damn about anything else going on in the book. Kudos to him finally writing about a male protagonist even if it was poorly done.
⋆｡°✩WHAT I LIKED⋆｡°✩
➽ Short chapters
➽ Didn’t guess the ‘twist’
➽ Henry
⋆｡°✩WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE⋆｡°✩
➽ Almost all of the characters
➽ Even though I didn’t guess the twist, when it was told it was MID
➽ Semi predictability
➽ Repetitive
➽ Felt way to long and dragged!
Anywhoooo this one just wasn’t for me and I just have to accept that this author writing and imagination just doesn’t work for me unfortunately.
1.5 ⭐

Happy reading lovie- hope he doesn't disappoint you or else 🔪🔪 lol let's hope it doesn't come to that! Hope you love it! 💚
Reviews like this really go to show me how subjective reading is
Noooo im sorry to hear that for you 💔 I keep saying I'm done with Riley Sager and then he comes out with something with another interesting concept and I'm duped again 😂 i still need to read it and im hoping him having a male main character will change things up a little 🤞🏻
oh no im sorry you didn't like this one :( i hope your next read is so much better love. my favorite from him is "the last time i lied", you might like that one if you didn't love this one <3

Love your review Laura! Thank you for the warning 😉
I felt absolutely the same about this book! Torture to read!
Tell me why Riley Sager draws me in every time, just to disappoint. Maybe I’ll take this one out of my TBR list

This is literally exactly how I felt reading this book to! Could not have said it better! Was truly disappointed.

It druuuugg out for so long! So many irrelevant details about the woods around the house, the fence, the baseball, etc. that have nothing to do with the story. This book could have been soooo much shorter and still told the same boring story. Although, I did like Henry's character.

This book could have been soooo much ..." So true! it should have been a novella, they was so many pointless information! Henry was a cutie!
Ugh nooooooo. A dragged out repetitive story is NOT what are looking for in a bloody mystery??? Sorry beautiful 💗
Totally agree! It was long and I just didn’t really care or like any of the characters other than Henry. My first Riley Sager book. Can’t say if any other RS books will make my TBR list.
you hit the nail! it was boring. the main character was blah and that was the most anticlimactic twist.
