Home Before Dark

skye__ shared a tip "I didn’t like this for the first several chapters but I forced myself to keep reading it. I’m so happy that I did! Every time you think you know what’s happening… you don’t. My only critique is that the title doesn’t seem fitting but that doesn’t change how good it is overall. Do yourself a favor and read this!"

skye_edelson-bennett shared a tip "I really liked this book. Not one of my favorites, but fun. It wasn't too scary for me, but a little creepy. In like that every chapter switches between time lines as well as perspectives."

cassaleksie shared a tip "I took my time reading this book and finished it in 3 days - although I definitely could have finished it in a day bc of how much of a page turner it was. Literally had to tell myself to stop reading each time. I made a prediction in the middle of the book that was brought up towards the end, but then there was a twist. However, with all that build up, I expected a better twist. Otherwise, I enjoyed reading this book. 3.75/5⭐️"

felicia_tousey shared a tip "Home Before Dark ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! Tense! A daughter exploring her dad's ghost story that he had written, but she didn't believe turned into a whole book of twists and turns. Completely unexpected ride! Not your typical horror story. An edge of your seat nail biter made me wonder if all of Riley Sager's books are this good! I loved the unique hauntings. The twists were amazing too!"

kaylie_knox shared a tip "I give this a four out of five stars because it sort of feels rushed at the end but the amount of twists and turns was totally worth it I loved this book."

kaila-marie_mccullo shared a tip "A lie goes a long way. This book was by far my favorite. Every page was spooky this was a great book to read for my Spooktober series. Riley sager writes amazing thriller books."

cassie_tuttle shared a tip "So much suspense! It was like watching a scary movie, I was so freaked. The twist threw me for a complete surprise. Definitely recommend if you like thrillers!"

amanda_wilcox_6498 shared a tip "Great read, good old fashioned hunted house story with lost of twist and turns. Love how it jumps back from past to present, gives the book an edge."

UnderTheOakTree shared a tip "Everyone needs to read this book! Seriously, stop what your doing and pick up this book and start reading it! You think you know what’s going to happen in this plot? HA jokes on you! For real though - great suspense/story."

kayla_nickels shared a tip "I loved this book so much cuz it continually kept me on my toes. Every time I felt like I decided which side I was going to believe BAM a huge twist I never expected! And the ending was so fulfilling and I was completely satisfied with it! You will need to read this to the very last page! #paranormal #mystery #thriller #familydrama #murder"

nova_quartz shared a tip "I loved this book. It was such a fun ride, and it unlike other stories that weave a fantastic tale but falter at the end, it kept my attention and fascination the whole way through."

alexisamarii shared a tip "I loved the spooky elements and the plot twists!!!! Every time I thought I had the story pinned, another curve ball was thrown at me! 4.5/5"

diana_hughes_6388 shared a tip "This one creeped me out a fair amount, there was a lot of build so I was hoping the ending was going to be good and, for me, it was pretty satisfying."

jess_ament shared a tip "Kept me up way past my bedtime to read it all in one go. Didn’t love the ending but I don’t think I would have loved any ending; the journey was worth it though!"

beasleye shared a tip "This book had me on edge the whole time… I couldn’t put it down. And every creak in my own house made me jump while reading this one. Definitely a suspense-fully good read!"

devon_k. shared a tip "Felt very much like Haunting of Hill House at the beginning, good character development with rhymtic pattern between the House of Horrors book her father wrote and her present. Unexpected twists and turns happened in the end, brought this book to definitely recommend for the payout."

deborah_bento shared a tip "I could put it down! Absolutely keeps you guessing right to the end. I’m hooked on Riley Sager books. On to the next one, Lock every Door."

tasfia_tahiat shared a tip "I usually read horror/suspense books and can tell where they're going but this one kept me guessing! Highly recommend this page turner!! 👌"

teresa_considine shared a tip "My favorite book has changed over time. As a kid, it was Where the Red Fern Grows. As a teenager, The Stand. As a young adult, The Silence of the Lambs. As a middle-aged adult, Gone Girl. Now in my fifties, it’s Circe. How about you?"

kelsey_marie shared a tip "One of my fav ghost/haunting novels I've read so far. There's only so much that can be done with this sort of story and this was a nice take"

jen_baldwin shared a tip "First book in a long time I couldn't figure out the ending. I also liked that it was low on romance. Seems like every book with a female lead is always half filled with romance. Interesting all around"

sarah_9414 shared a tip "Once I got about 3/4 of the way into the book I needed to finish reading to find out what happened and it was a crazy turn of events that I was not expecting! Definitely has a spooky/uneasy element to it which was different from most of the books I read."

courtney_prygocki shared a tip "Had some scary and suspenseful parts. Very spooky. I couldn’t read after a certain time. A very good thriller. I like books that have dual timelines telling the same story. Getting the fathers side back from his book and Maggie’s side in the present. I wasn’t sure what to believe and what not to believe at times. A very creepy haunted house story. But still very enjoyable. 4 ⭐️"

kelly_mccone shared a tip "If you are looking to find an author you can stick with- you found him. I think this was his best so far- haunting of hills house meets poltergeist meets something unique. Loved it. You won’t want it to end."

velvet_greenleaf shared a tip "Really enticing, fast paced thriller. Unique in style while providing well executed classic “haunted house” tropes. I likely won’t reread often since I know the ending, but would recommend to others and would probably do a nice, quick read of it during the spooky season."

hannah_perkins_3660 shared a tip "If you love thrillers with lots of twists and turns and great writing, Riley Sager is awesome! I’ve liked all of his books so far."

marisa_pereyra shared a tip "I rented from the library, but I want to own it! It was a pretty quick read. I thought part of the way through that I knew how it would end and didn't think I would like the ending, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend!"

embee shared a tip "This book was so good! I didn’t see the ending coming. I appreciated the spooky aspect and that this book wasn’t just a regular thriller."

carissa_therese shared a tip "I read it in two days, it was thrilling. Loved the ghost story, didn't care for the plot twist ending. To me it ruined the story."

jillian_hartmann shared a tip "I’ve ended up reading quite a few Riley Sager books this year and I really enjoyed this one. Loved the double perspective. Loved the supernatural element."

kourtney_collins shared a tip "This is one of my all time favorite thrillers! I just finished the guest list that was really good! And anything Lisa jewel! Loved the family upstairs by her!"

alyssasneed shared a tip "I read this book as a BOTM. It a book about a book, so one chapter she’ll say something and you’re like what??? Then the next chapter would be about what she just said - a chapter from her fathers book that was written 25 years ago. It definitely worth the read, it took a few days at first then once I hit the middle of the book, I flew through it. And I mean, I stayed up until 3am till I finished it!!"

snicket shared a tip "This is my favorite of Sager’s books. I love a good mystery with some supernatural elements thrown in and this book definitely delivers on that."

zander_quinn shared a tip "I normally call twists hundreds of pages before they come, but this book kept me enthralled and guessing. It's fantastic and DEFINITELY worth a read."

estrella_thoeni shared a tip "At first I thought it was too full of haunted house tropes, but it came around in the end towards something more satisfying. Not an Amazing novel, but a solid, good read with a spooky atmosphere."

vgswillis shared a tip "This book is phenomenal! A horror mystery that constantly leaves you on the edge of your seat. I would constantly think I knew what would happen, but would be thrown so many twists that I no longer could guess! It's creepy, fast-paced, and perfect for spooky vibes."

danielle_4330 shared a tip "I enjoy mystery and twists. This book kept twisting and turning until the end. A lot of wait WTF? Oh hold on WTF again!? I know … my review is quite elegant."

amanda_gagnon shared a tip "I finished this book in one sitting. Riley Sager hooks the reader and keeps them on edge from one twist and turn to another. This is my favorite of his, but all of his books are great!"

michelle_maclean shared a tip "Loved the ghost aspect of this book - I couldn’t stop reading it and I couldn’t sleep without a night light for a few days after reading it either!"

leslie_4431 shared a tip "This book is in my top 10 books now. Loved the ending. Riley Sager did a great job with this book. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good thriller to read."

angee_stout shared a tip "Just finished this book. I really liked it. It was a quick read, I finished it in a day. If you like a good plot twist, whodunnit kinda mystery then you’ll like this suspense thriller. #homebeforedark #quickread"

aitchsee shared a tip "As always, I love Sager’s capable but thoroughly humanized heroines, now Maggie included. I found the alternating timelines by chapter tiring at times, but the writing still accomplishes that nerve racking pace we’ve come to expect from the author. I did find the ending satisfyingly twisty, but as I love good surprises, I do wish the ending would have been unfurled a little more slowly- but was still very pleased with it by the end. Creative and creepy, another win for one of my favorite authors"

amy_akell shared a tip "I enjoyed the back and forth we between her fathers book and reality. I enjoyed trying to figure out the truth along with Maggie."
