Hi I'm Pin. I decided to get into reading last year as I hadn't read a book since highschool (10+ years ago 💀). My wife was been a book worm her whole life so she's rubbed off on me. Loving it!!

    What a roller coaster of a read! From start to finish, it’s a nonstop mix of chaos, humor, and tension that will have you laughing one second and on the edge of your seat the next. The story moves through a variety of locations, reintroduces old characters, and throws in plenty of new faces, making the ride feel unpredictable and fresh.

    For fans who are already deep into the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, this installment continues to deliver the clever humor, absurd situations, and engaging characters that have made the series so enjoyable. The humor is silly, sometimes crude, and perfectly tuned to the established tone of the books.

    The most memorable moment comes when the title itself, The Gate of the Feral Gods, comes into play. Everything clicks, teasing exciting developments for the future while highlighting the author’s knack for balancing absurdity and stakes. The book’s greatest strength is how seamlessly it shifts emotions, laughter, tension, excitement, often within seconds. It’s a ride where anything feels possible, and you’re never quite sure what will happen next.

    Overall, this is a fun, clever, and emotionally engaging installment in the series that leaves you eager to continue the adventure in the next book.

    Home Before Dark

    Riley Sager

    What was it like? Living in that house. Maggie Holt is used to such questions. Twenty-five years ago, she and her parents, Ewan and Jess, moved into Baneberry Hall, a rambling Victorian estate in the Vermont woods. They spent three weeks there before fleeing in the dead of night, an ordeal Ewan later recounted in a nonfiction book called House of Horrors. His tale of ghostly happenings and encounters with malevolent spirits became a worldwide phenomenon, rivaling The Amityville Horror in popularity—and skepticism. Today, Maggie is a restorer of old homes and too young to remember any of the events mentioned in her father’s book. But she also doesn’t believe a word of it. Ghosts, after all, don’t exist. When Maggie inherits Baneberry Hall after her father’s death, she returns to renovate the place to prepare it for sale. But her homecoming is anything but warm. People from the past, chronicled in House of Horrors, lurk in the shadows. And locals aren’t thrilled that their small town has been made infamous thanks to Maggie’s father. Even more unnerving is Baneberry Hall itself—a place filled with relics from another era that hint at a history of dark deeds. As Maggie experiences strange occurrences straight out of her father’s book, she starts to believe that what he wrote was more fact than fiction. In the latest thriller from New York Times bestseller Riley Sager, a woman returns to the house made famous by her father’s bestselling horror memoir. Is the place really haunted by evil forces, as her father claimed? Or are there more earthbound—and dangerous—secrets hidden within its walls?
