alternating pov :- I like the idea of representing a book this way. I guess it was the only think which kept me going! Feinberg, Scott (May 21, 2020).

Luz has a "gift" for photographing people so intense that she instantly wins some prestigious award with her first professional photo shoot...really...? Also that was made a big deal about (Jessie's the only one who understands!) and then dropped. Tina Jordan of the New York Times criticized some of the book's dialogue and supporting characters while also praising the multiple points of view.

However, at some parts I lost my interest for Megan’s POV and I enjoyed Ewan’s book so much more, it is still riveting, heart throbbing, nail, elbow, hand, arm biter, unputdowable, creepy story that I’ve dreamt of! I was so ready to sell my not so precious soul to get an ARC COPY and my wish came true.The heavy drinking led to John Cheever's downfall but his eventual confrontation with this weakness led to his final period of authorial success, with the publication of Falconer and the collected short stories, both of which gained Cheever many awards, substantial wealth and the sort of recognition that he had long been in quest of. What I enjoyed most is Susan Cheever's analysis of the several passions that drove & sometimes almost consumed her father, traveling among them: My father traveled because he could not stay at home, like Hammer in Bullet Park, to escape that existential dread for which the best antidote was his work. Travel was always interesting & the trips we took as a family were always fun because of the pleasure my father took in playing the role of the provider & interpreter of experience. Luz has taken over Jessie's photography job that she was working in Texas. She and her husband told Lila that Jessie was her actual mother, although her dad was really her dad because she was the product of an affair that happened before Luz and her husband ever met. Lila doesn't really care and its not a very pivotal plot point.

Other things like Maggie ignoring her father’s dying wish or not taking the chance to at least discuss with her mother why she’d doing what she’s doing are all a bit contrived for the purpose of pushing the plot forward and strategically withholding information. Oh, and to be looking over your shoulder and around every corner... this is one ghost story that will haunt your dreams...or perhaps fuel your nightmares! I think Ms. Wiggs was trying to show the lead character as a flawed but likeable person. I just couldn't get past her flaws. Jessie was completely self-absorbed to the point of being clinically narcissistic. But what kept me groaning in pain was the unrealistic scenarios. For example, a man grieving for two years for his dead wife decides within 10 minutes the girl is the one. He is in love. Then there is the troubled and rebellious teen who ends up with PTSD and everyone decides to shake her world with the truth about her parentage but no one....NOT ONE PERSON....suggests counseling. And once the teen hears the unbelievable truth....she shrugs and heads off to some school event. What? Ms. Wiggs did her research on photography, eye diseases, helping centers for the blind and yet completely missed the psychological aspects of her characters.There were some elements that were unrealistic, but I could easily overlook them and go with the story because the writing was so smooth and engrossing. I was completely wrapped up in the mystery surrounding this old “haunted” mansion. I will never think of snakes or bedroom furniture the same way.

Flawless pacing, a dexterous dual narrative, and character through the roof. But the biggest revelation to be found in Home Before Dark is this: There’s nobody writing scarier books than Riley Sager is right now.”

Success!

But I think my father was also looking for something more spiritual; a confirmation of his own belief in the importance of transcendence & the vitality of the soul. She has read her father's book, House of Horrors, numerous times, but doesn't believe a word of it. I’m not going to ruin the story but I will leave you with this quote “Oh Maggie, she says. “You really shouldn’t have done that. “ Unease slams onto my shoulders, so forceful that all of Baneberry Hall seems to shake.” Also it’s a wonder why anyone would build an estate and let poisonous berries grow all over your property even though you have a young child, then you name the place after the plant, craziness. You will all love it, just buy it, you won’t be sorry!!!
