Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
5.0

4.5 rounded up. This one is definitely my favorite of Riley Sager’s books that I’ve read this far (I’ve been reading them in release order). I liked the chapters of the book within a book in between the MC’s current events. Reality is often stranger than fiction, and I love that human nature can be so fucked up that it’s easy to write it off as something supernatural. The unreliability of it all was great; none of the characters had all of the info, so their assumptions made this a crazy ride. The ending was a little *meh* for some reason to me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, the ghost shit going on, like the bells ringing at random, the thumps and taps, the lights being left on really added to the mood. NOT TO MENTION THE DAMN SNAKES, BIG OLE NOPE. Who knew “The Sound of Music” soundtrack could be so damn creepy?!
