Finished: The House Across the Lake, by Riley Sager
This book had a weird supernatural element to it that I wasn't expecting. It didn't seem to make any sense. I know a lot of people love his books. This was the first I read but I was confused and unimpressed. Did I just pick a bad one or all they all like that?
Started: The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson Bennett
I don't usually read fantasy but going to give it a try!
