From School Library Journal
For Jules, becoming an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. That is, until other apartment sitters start to go missing. This novel is perfectly paced with a darkly fascinating conclusion. It features a young adult protagonist and is not as violent as many adult thrillers. VERDICT A good place for teens to start exploring the thriller genre.—Elliot Riley, Deerfield Academy, MA
Review
Praise for Lock Every Door
“Move over, Rosemary's Baby, urban paranoia has a deliciously Gothic new address.”
—Ruth Ware
“The Bartholomew is an apartment building of terrifying secrets. You'll find startling twists and alarming surprises down every dark hallway. It's too late to lock the doors—the horror is already inside. My favorite thriller of the year!”
—R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps
“[A] tightly plotted suspense story.”
—New York Times Book Review
“The author, writing under a pen name, relates ominous events and spooky developments with skill, adding an element of social commentary and a surprise twist ending—elevating this exercise in terror above the ordinary shocker.”
—Wall Street Journal
“If you like your thrillers with a dash of horror, you’ll love Riley Sager’s latest novel Lock Every Door, which feels eerily similar to Rosemary’s Baby (emphasis on the eerie) but with a broke millennial twist… Lock Every Door is suspenseful with twists you won’t see coming.”
—BuzzFeed, "The Best Thrillers of 2019"
“This obsessive read invites readers in for spine-tingling fun.”
—Shelf Awareness
“Riley Sager takes readers on a roller coaster ride where you will have just enough time to catch your breath before the next big twist hits you. . . . This novel continues Sager's streak of providing a fresh and original voice to the world of psychological thrillers.”
—Bookreporter
“Dedicated to Ira Levin, the prophetically titled Lock Every Door builds to a devastating finale that is more chilling and believable than Rosemary giving birth to the son of Satan. Sager uses the darkening atmosphere and the tiniest thing that goes bump in the night for the utmost terror.”
—Associated Press
“In short, Lock Every Door is a superb balancing act: a psychological suspense novel that walks the (very fine) line between ode to classic horror and inventive, modern-day suspense story all its own.”
—Crime by the Book
“[A] beloved thriller writer.”
—Bustle, “27 New Books Out in July 2019 to Get You Through the Sweaty Days of Summer”
“Sager fans and new readers alike will enjoy this heart-pounding thriller that cleverly weaves economic anxiety with something a whole lot darker. Jules must face the demons in the woodwork and in the world around her if she is to have any hope of a future. Because, ultimately, locking every door won’t keep the terror away if the terror is locked in there with you.”
—New York Journal of Books
“A compulsively readable thriller . . . Fans of Ira Levin, to whom the book is dedicated, will be delighted by Sager’s clever variation on a typical Levin plot.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Sager (Final Girls) delivers a psychological, creepy, and unputdownable thriller. . . . . Likable characters, great writing, just enough twists, and a Rosemary’s Baby vibe will make this a summer hit. Purchase for Stephen King and Gillian Flynn fans.”

“[A] nightmarish thriller set against the backdrop of a Manhattan fairy tale.”
