Still, Survive The Night was getting so many great reviews on bookstagram, I thought maybe I’d been too quick to put it down, and I tried again. I’m also not a big fan of crazy as a plot device. I like a thriller with a slightly unreliable narrator, but discovering that the whole book was actually all lies is my absolute least favorite horror reveal. I was disappointed because Charlie’s hallucinations seemed like an annoying get-out-of-plot-free card.
SURVIVE THE NIGHT BOOK SERIAL
Or she’s paranoid and crazy. I read about a third of this book, and couldn’t take any more of Charlie sitting in the car with Josh, who is either a serial killer or a random guy who needs gas money.
Charlie decides to head home to her grandmother, and gets a ride from a random stranger also using the campus’ ride board to head back to Ohio.īut as the drive goes on, it seems less like Josh is a random student looking for gas money and more like he knows too much about Charlie and about her friend’s death. In the beginning of Survive The Night, Charlie’s left reeling after her roommate and bestie is murdered by the Campus Killer, a serial killer she’s struck before and has still totally unknown. College student Charlie has an obsession with old movies, both in a Quirky Girl kind of way, and in a hallucinations appear like movies in her mind kind of way.
SURVIVE THE NIGHT BOOK MOVIE
In Survive the Night, the horror movie reference is movies in general. Something about blend of normal family life and something horrible and inexplicable just gets me. Rosemary’s Baby and The Amintyville Horror are probably the scariest movies I’ve even seen. Lock Every Door reminded me of Rosemary’s Baby, and Home Before Dark is about a house and a family like in The Amityville Horror. Seriously, I couldn’t recommend Lock Every Door highly enough, I loved every thing about it, it was twisty and still believable. I loved Riley Sagar’s previous suspense novels, Lock Every Doorand Home Before Dark.
