Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
2.0
DNF at 111 pages.
Folks, I just can't be bothered to finish this book. It's not scary, it's not thrilling, it's not engaging, it's just another bog-standard haunted house story with way too much going on that only seems to remember the horror elements at the end of each chapter. Originally my main motivation for finishing it was to see how it ended, but then I was reminded that spoiler reviews exist, so I promptly yeeted all motivation out the window along with any hope of reading another Riley Sager novel. This isn't bad, but for a horror fan like me this is supremely underwhelming and not at all frightening. Read if you want, but I'm done.
