I've adored all three of Riley Sager's previous novels, so my expectations for Home Before Dark were pretty high. It's safe to say they were met and then some. The novel centers on a woman named Maggie, who as a child lived in a historic home called Baneberry Hall. After living there for twenty days, her… Continue reading Home Before Dark by Riley Sager|Book Review

The Stand by Stephen King | Book Review
I was extremely hesitant to start Stephen King's epic novel due to its 1,400+ page count and small font. When COVID-19 hit though, I decided to be masochistic and read it. I'm glad I did, even if it took me two months to finish it. The story sees the U.S. become ravaged by a gruesome… Continue reading The Stand by Stephen King | Book Review
Jade Green by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | Book Review

She is told not to bring anything green into the home, but she can't resist taking a photo of her mother in a… Continue reading Jade Green by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor | Book Review

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson | Book Review
I loved Kevin Wilson's previous novel Perfect Little World, so I was pretty hyped for Nothing to See Here. It's safe to say my expectations were surpassed. The plot follows a young woman named Lillian who is drifting along in life without a purpose. One day, her former best friend Madison calls her with an offer she… Continue reading Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson | Book Review
The Rhythm Section by Mark Burnell | Book Review
I read The Rhythm Section in anticipation of the upcoming film, and I can safely say I'm hyped. I absolutely loved the character of Stephanie Patrick. Is she the most likable protagonist out there? Certainly not, but she's relatable. She struggles, and the viewer goes through her highs and lows with her. Starting off as a… Continue reading The Rhythm Section by Mark Burnell | Book Review
