Home Before Dark

Riley Sager is one of my favorite up and coming authors, I say up and coming because his newest book (releasing June 30th) is only his 4th book published under this name. His books are creepy and occasionally horrifying, but also completely believable. It's that realism that makes his books stand out. They are average people put in extraordinary circumstances, and his latest read Home Before Dark is no different. In it, we meet Maggie Holt, a home flipper and designer, who has grown up in the shadow of some horrible event that her family has profited from. We go into the story and slowly fall down the rabbit hole, as Maggie comes to terms with the event that changed the course of her family's life. Through her return to the presumably haunted Baneberry House, we find out through alternating chapters what really happened to her family. Is the home haunted from all the previous tragedies, does Mister Shadow come with a warning or threat, are her parents right when they tell her not to return, that it isn't safe for her there? You'll have to read this one to find out, all I can say is... Every house has a
story.

Thank you to Dutton Book and NetGalley for my advanced copy of Home Before Dark, this book was received in advance for an honest review.
