Home Before Dark by Riley Sager is a must read

Home Before Dark was a whirlwind. I mean that in the best possible way. The emotions this book made me feel were unexpected and all over the place. This entire book was a ride and I loved every minute of it. I’ve read quite a few of Riley Sager’s books recently, actually that’s putting it lightly, I’m on a bit of a marathon with his work but this one is hands down, without a doubt my favourite. I’ve really enjoyed all of his books so far, but this one just took it to the next level and wow, I don’t know how it’s going to be topped.

Vela Roth’s Blood Mercy is everything I want in fantasy

I don’t even know where to start with my thoughts on this one, in large part out of fear of not doing justice to what I just read. Blood Mercy completely snuck up on me, in the best possible way. I just stumbled across it searching through book suggestions on kindle unlimited so I had zero expectations going into it.

Why I run

Running is a very important part of my daily life for over a decade now. When I first started running, it was to become more active and do something healthy for myself that would increase my endurance. Now, so many years later it has become an essential part of my existence, and often provides me with a much needed outlet for anxiety and a way to deal with anything that might be on my mind. It might be cliché, but it’s become therapeutic for me.

Shea Ernshaw’s A Wilderness of Stars is a decent dystopian western story

A huge thanks to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for the e-arc.

I’ll start by saying this was definitely an enjoyable book, I just didn’t necessarily love it. It was nice as a different little read but didn’t quite end up being what I expected in the end in a way that wasn’t for the better as far as my tastes run. Not to discourage anyone from reading, it just wasn’t quite to my taste, but it was still well written and had a very interesting concept.

Lisa Unger’s Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a wonderful locked room mystery

A big thanks for the ARC and the chance to read this book ahead of its release.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was very atmospheric right from the start. The setting itself was such an essential part to the story because it immediately set the tone of the novel and somehow managed to be so creepy even though it was supposedly such a beautiful location.
