The Only One Left

One of the most banger book. I was really hooked from the first chapter and it was so thrilling. Twists are unlimited in this one and it blows mind

I never thought that this book will just make me so intense and thrilled I love the way the characters are designed and it is a nonstop twist and turns with an amazing story .usually a fan of McFadden fan but seems like he's more than beyond her on writing and making the reader very intense and nervous until he puts down his book completed Thanks very much .

No kidding, I was reading it during breakfast ☕, lunch 🍝, dinner 🍽️... basically any moment I could steal. "Just one more chapter" turned into half the book. 😂🤌🏚️🌊 Every page whispered, "You think you've got it figured out?" ...and then laughed in my face. 😭💀 Every new clue sent me chasing a brand-new theory, only for the next chapter to completely wreck it. 🧩🤯😱 The atmosphere is so haunting and deliciously creepy that you can almost hear the house breathing. Every secret pulled me deeper, and I was OBSESSED. 🕯️🖤💥 And that ending?! EXCUSE ME?! I pride myself (though sometimes 😉) on guessing thriller twists... but this one absolutely humbled me. 😵👏 I never saw it coming, not even for a second.📚 If you love thrillers that slowly sink their claws into you 🦅 and refuse to let go until the very last page, this is IT.Riley Sager, you got me. 🙇‍♀️🔥⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 🌟

This is my 1st reply sager book and after reading this I’m going to buy all books from this author.Without any second thought you can buy this book and it will not disappoint you

The final reveal and twist were good, and the story had a strong start. However, as it progressed, too much started happening at once. In my opinion, many of the setups didn't receive satisfying payoffs by the end. Also I didn't liked the ending. Overall, it was an okay-to-good read.

If you want to feel creepy, go for this book. You won’t be able to keep down this book

loved

I loved it , I accidentally opened the last page of the book and got the biggest spoiler ever but i still chose to continue the books and trust me some of the twists i never saw it coming

Stupendo, imprevedibile, ben scritto.

私は日本語が第1言語なので、sisterの表記にはいつも揺らぎが生じるのですが、この人が犯人なのかな？と思った部分は全てミスリードでしたMaryの行方が分かってからは、続きが気になってしまい高速で読むことができましたまた、結末も含めて非常におもしろかったです！

“The Only One Left” by Riley Sager is a captivating gothic thriller that intertwines elements of mystery, suspense, and psychological drama. Set in 1983, the narrative follows Kit McDeere, a caregiver with a tarnished reputation, who is assigned to look after Lenora Hope—a woman accused of murdering her family in 1929. Lenora, now incapacitated and unable to speak, resides in the decaying mansion known as Hope’s End, perched precariously on a cliff’s edge. As Kit assists Lenora in typing out her story, she becomes deeply entangled in the dark secrets of the Hope family and the ominous history of the mansion.Sager masterfully crafts an atmospheric setting reminiscent of classic gothic tales, drawing parallels to works like “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “Rebecca.” The novel alternates between Kit’s present-day experiences and Lenora’s typewritten accounts, effectively building suspense and keeping readers on edge. The characters are intricately developed, each harboring their own secrets, adding depth to the unfolding mystery.Critical reception has been largely positive. Kirkus Reviews describes it as “an entertaining thriller,” noting its ability to evoke classic gothic elements while delivering unexpected twists.Similarly, a review from Criminal Element praises the novel as “a masterclass in atmospheric suspense,” highlighting Sager’s skill in crafting a story where “no detail can be taken for granted.”In summary, “The Only One Left” offers a richly atmospheric and suspenseful journey into a family’s dark past, set against the backdrop of a haunting mansion. While the novel excels in building tension and developing complex characters, some readers may find the climax stretches plausibility. Nonetheless, fans of gothic thrillers and intricate mysteries are likely to find this book a compelling read.
