Home Before Dark by Riley Sager

5.0

This is the second book I’ve read by RS and I have to say I did not love LED. It just was a let down. But I decided I’d give him another shot. And well, I’m glad I did!!

This one was amazing! It was creepy, ghostly and I was a bit creeped out reading it in the dark! I love the alternating between Maggie 25 years later (present day) and the alternate being the story of the “true” events of what happened then.

I will say I questioned so many things and so many people and didn’t know how it would end, I did guess a few things but I wouldn’t say it was predictable because I had a lot of guesses and I was unsure of any of them.

At some point it turned into a book that I literally couldn’t put down and I just had to know what happened next and I read the second half of the book in one day! (And I’m a slow reader y’all!)

I’m going to give this 4.5 stars but I’ll round to 5 just because the end.. while I did like the ending, I was still left with a question or two and felt like maybe some of it was a little too smoothed out. But all in all, loved it. And I definitely want to read more!
