i’ll say it, emphatically again, but i really think riley sager has proven that you can do a modern thriller in a way that doesn’t rely on cheating spouses. this book was so much fun.

2.25 stars ✨Checks my watch ah yes, it’s time for history’s most unpopular opinions.Riley Sager (MR. RILEY SAGER), do you hear my screams of anguish echoing through the Vermont hills?Because yes, I am displeased. Deeply. I walked into this book with skyscraper-high hopes and walked out feeling like I’d just witnessed a mashup of iconic horror scenes stolen from every top horror movie ever made—sprinkled with twists that felt like half-hearted tributes to Shirley Jackson and Stephen King’s The Sh...

I loved every second of this creepy suspenseful story. It had the best Haunting of Hill House vibes that I've ever seen in a book and I was absolutely obsessed with the vibe of this book and I was genuinely scared at times and I might have slept with the lights on.

Hang on to your hat, your Ouija board, and stop thinking too much and you will be in for a spooky, twisty ride. Maggie Holt's father wrote a book about a house that the family lived in for twenty days, when Maggie was five years old. The experience was a horrible one and the family ran from the house, with just the clothes on their backs, leaving everything else behind, when they abandoned it. Her father than wrote a nonfiction book about the house and what happened during those twenty days but ...

I love when an author shows vivid creativity, pushes themselves to try something unexpected, and challenges their own past work by diving into brand new territory.Riley Sager is one of the most brilliant authors out there—he constantly raises the bar, waltzes between genres, and serves up stories that feel fresh-from-the-oven: delicious, soul-crushing, mind-numbing, exhilarating, and full of those “WTF did I just read?” kinds of twists—the ones that pull the rug out from under you and leave you ...

Riley Sager got me again. My favorite book of 2020!!!In my opinion, Home Before Dark is Sager's best work yet!!!Also, I do acknowledge that I have now fully exceeded my lifetime use of the exclamation point, but I assure you, in this case it is warranted.I loved, loved, loved this story with my whole heart and soul. Upon the death of her father, Maggie Holt, is shocked to discover she has just inherited Baneberry Hall, the allegedly haunted mansion her family abandoned some 25-years earlier.Quit...

(3.75) Haunted house with a gothic feel are one of my guilty pleasure. This book had a strong start and even though I did figure out "who did it" it was still pretty good.I did feel like the main female character was the biggest weakness. She didn't ring true to me and I cringed multiple times (any description of Dane, the mansplaining bit, the telling all her secrets after knowing him for 24h which gave me flashbacks of Lock Every Door...).Not as good as The Last Time I Lied but an enjoyable fa...

"Every house has a story. Ours is a ghost story. It's also a lie. And now that yet another person has died within these walls, it's finally time to tell the truth."Fellow Riley Sager junkies, you've waited so patiently for me to slip out of my Covid-19 induced anxiety, and I'm here to tell you that I've shaken the funk and am feeling passionately encouraged to word vomit my thoughts about this book. Before I get started, you need to know going in that this book has a slightly altered feel to his...
