Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
4.0

Yay I finally finished a book! The first in 7 months. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this book to be released and for good reason. I love Riley Sager’s writing style, it’s so easy to follow. I’ve been having so much trouble with words just bouncing straight back out of my brian and not being able to focus or absorb anything. COVID plus family drama plus poor physical health and very poor mental health doesn’t lend itself to a good concentration span.

I didn’t give this book five stars though because of the gothic nature of the story. I did enjoy that the book made fun of itself and how cheesily gothic it was. I know people love this style, I’m just not that big a fan. Also I was set over three time periods which got a bit confusing at times. But all in all, I read this in a day, so can’t complain about that!
