FR REVIEW :

DISCLAIMER : Thank you, Hodder & Stoughton for providing me with an ARC of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Home Before Dark is my second book from Riley Sager. I read Lock Every Door last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the author's writing and was fascinated by his style of storytelling. This story was no different. I am also excited about the arrival of my copy of this book from a book subscription box!! It was an alternate choice for a different book and I am so glad I picked this one.
The whole ambiance of the book is the perfect setting for horror. The paranormal elements in the book within the book were brilliant. I did get scared at times, and I had a difficult time sleeping at night as well. The writing is captivating and engaging. I found myself engrossed in the book and the dual storylines that brought something new with each chapter. I loved Ewan's (Maggie's dad) book more than Maggie's POV. Still, the story was unputdownable, and the eerie, ominous vibes made the story so captivating. The characters, both dead and alive, add to the mysterious, creepy vibe of the book. The haunting house, scary sounds at night, crawling things, the creepy song, and ghosts all add to the disturbing and hair-raising mood of the book. The plot-twists are ones that I did not see coming. There were some elements I thought I figured out only to find that I was wrong. I had a good time reading this book, and as I read the book at night, it elevated the reading experience so much! Home Before Dark is a fantastic story that will make you a fan of Riley Sager. If you love books within books, haunted mansions, dark secrets from the past, and hair-raising moments that will make you terrified, this is the perfect book for you. I gave the book 5 stars. I highly recommend checking it out. This suspenseful read is guaranteed to make you a Riley Sager Fan.
