Honestly, who reads this smut?

I tried so hard to get into this book, but it just didn't hold my interest.

Such a page turner - this novel had me guessing until the very end. Sometimes books that build so much anticipation are a let down in the end - this was not that book!

Read it in one sitting. I believe that it has a few flaws in the plot but the plot is very complicated so it is hard to wrap up neatly. Scary if there are really families like this in the world.

I liked the book because it did keep me guessing and had a good story line, but did not like how unreliable the person telling the story was. I didn't know what to believe and that isn't typically what I like to read. I did like the ending and thought there were great twists in the book.

The ending made me upset.

A page-turner! I picked up this book from a bookclub selection and am glad I did because I'm not usually a mystery-reader. Enjoyable rollercoaster ride and finished in 1.5 sitting.

Regrettably, I couldn't get into this book. There seemed, to me, to be too many repetitions - stalled plot. I see that many others enjoyed this story - maybe I just wasn't in the mood for the story-line.

3 Stars - I might recommend if you enjoy contemporary thrillers or mysteries.

This book follows Cass, as she returns home after being missing for 3 years. Her sister Emma disappeared at the same time, and now Cass's only goal is to find her sister. Told via an unreliable narrator this story will have you questioning what is true, what is not, and what actually happened to Emma and Cass.

I know I say this a lot, but I am not much for thrillers or mysteries. I find them a little bit boring sometimes, and I often find myself guessing "who did it" or the twists and turns in the plot. I read this in a day, so it is definitely compelling, but I found myself getting a little bored around 66%. Then by the time the rising action popped up... I was just kind of ready for the story to be over. I didn't find Cass to be that unreliable of a narrator... and I didn't really care where Emma was/what happened with her story by the time I got to the end. I enjoyed it enough, again, it just may not be my genre. If you like thrillers, you would probably enjoy this book, it's just not my cup of tea.

Sometimes when I’m reading a book by an unreliable narrator, I must stop reading to digest what the narrator is saying. This is that kind of book. Along with that, I reluctantly picked the book back up again, because I really didn’t want to know what the ultimate outcome would be. Emma in the Night isn’t a long book, but the author’s writing was so tightly written with each sentence having an impact on the telling, it took me three days to read the book. This is psychological thriller at it’s best. Walker deftly peels the off the layers of this dysfunctional family with each member trying one-up the others in getting what they want.
