Home Before Dark
by Riley Sager
4.5 Amityville Horror-ish Vibe Stars!
Sager is a King of Spook and all I can say is that he seriously comes through with this book! We have a huge, secluded spooky house with lots of eerie noises and unexplained happenings and a woman in search of the truth of what happened there that caused her family to flee the house in the middle of the night and never return.
I love a good ghost story and this was GOOD! As Maggie Holt tries to unravel the house's mystery and her past we learn that this house has and its past inhabitants had some freaky history. I LOVED the background of the house and having it's story come to life. We also get Maggie's Dad's story told via chapters of the book her wrote on the house. Those were some of my favorite parts of the book. I was soooooo hooked!!! It was awesome to see parallels of the family's experience and Maggie's in the present. She grew up believing her Dad was a liar and wrote the book to make money but could the house really be haunted? Could the story really be true? What really happened to them all those years ago? What happened to her???
This is one book you will not want to miss this summer when it releases! Just be sure to read it with the light on!
A huge thank you to Riley Sager, Penguin Publishing and Edelweiss for an advance copy of this book to read & review.
