A good old fashioned psychological thriller. Formulaic but still had me turning page after page. I enjoyed the paranormal elements, and how it illustrated how haunting grief can feel. The story will leave you gasping in surprise but I think it’s surely a worthy reading pursuit.

If you were left feeling meh after reading both The House Across The Lake and The Only One Left and lost the eagerness to look forward to Riley Sager’s books hear me out, this one is definitely for you!
I’ve been chasing the feeling Riley Sager gave me with Home Before Dark ever since I’ve read it and I kept expecting from his later books to match its energy but all they ever did was make me disappointed.
I’m really glad I got approved for this early copy cause otherwise it would have taken me some time to actively decide to pick it up and I would have missed out big time!
This had strong Home Before Dark vibes and everything else you’d expect from Riley Sager, the genre bending claim was not a lie guys!
It had supernatural elements, decent mystery, thrilling turn of events, emotional rollercoasters, not knowing how reliable the MC really is.. I was constantly kept on edge and never knew what to expect l. But it never got really too much or too unbearable which what I love the most about it! I really couldn’t have asked for more.
So it goes without saying, I’m back on the hype train like I never left you can’t stop me now.
Thank you NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for the digital ARC!

Middle of the Night by Riley Sager is a gripping blend of suspense, drama, and mystery with just the right sprinkle of supernatural intrigue. From the start, it pulls you into a decades-old disappearance that still haunts the neighborhood, and Ethan.
Sager delivers his signature twists, with a couple of really satisfying reveals and a few well-placed red herrings that kept me guessing until the very end. The pacing moves steadily, and while not every thread felt fully fleshed out, the eerie atmosphere and slow-building tension more than made up for it.
If you enjoy mysteries with a touch of the unexplained and a plot that keeps you on your toes, this one’s definitely worth picking up!
