Romance
Soft, messy, and addictive love stories that feel like late-night reading you can’t put down. From slow burns to emotional chaos, these are the ones that linger after the last page.
This wasn't the light romance I expected—it was emotional, thought-provoking, and at times difficult to read. The story explores love, resilience, and the courage it takes to break unhealthy patterns. It left a lasting impression on me and gave me a ...
It Starts with Us: A Novel
I read this one recently and it honestly stayed on my mind after finishing it. It starts off feeling like a typical romance, but it quickly gets more emotional and intense than I expected, especially with how real Lily’s situation feels.
It Ends with Us
I didn’t expect it to feel so heavy in between the romance. It starts soft and emotional, like two people slowly learning each other, but it slowly shifts into something that really makes you sit with the choices and patterns behind the love story.
And Now, Back to You
A light, messy kind of romance where everything feels like it’s going wrong in the cutest way possible. It’s easy to get hooked because the chemistry builds in those small, funny, awkward moments.
Accidentally in Love
It took me a while to get into the length, but once I did, it felt like I was just living in that small town with them.
Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout Series #1)
This one sits in your chest a bit. It’s messy grief, bad choices, and trying to come back to life when everything feels like it’s already been lost. The love story isn’t loud — it’s slow, careful, and shaped by guilt and hope at the same time.
Reminders of Him: A Novel
A slow-burn friends-to-lovers that feels like years of almosts. It starts light and funny, then quietly hits you with how much they’ve been each other’s “almost home” all along.
People We Meet on Vacation
Thriller
Twisty, fast-paced stories where nothing is what it looks like. Every chapter makes you question someone, and the endings usually hit harder than expected.
Marriage but make it unsettling. Every chapter shifts your trust in someone, and by the end you don’t know what to believe anymore.
My Husband's Wife: A Novel
School for thieves is one pulled me in with how unsettling it is underneath the “school” setup. It follows girls being trained to steal and manipulate, and the further it goes, the more you realize nothing there is actually safe or normal. It’s tense...
The School for Thieves
Uncomfortable, creepy, and confusing in a way that sticks in your head long after.
Verity
I kept trying to guess the twist the whole time and still didn’t get it right. The ending changes how you look at the whole book.
The Silent Patient
Popular emotions
Books that hit deeper than expected—full of heartbreak, healing, and moments that make you pause just to process.
Told in a unique voice that makes it feel more like a memory than a story.
The Book Thief
Fantasy
Escapist worlds full of magic, danger, and intense chemistry. These are the books that pull you out of reality and keep you there longer than planned.
This one took me a bit to get into, but once it picked up, I didn’t want to stop reading.
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City Series #1)
Mystery / Crime series
This section feels like crime-solving with tea, jokes, and clever chaos in the background. It’s not dark or stressful — it’s more like getting attached to a group of smart, funny people who somehow keep stumbling into murder cases.
It starts off feeling super calm and almost cozy, like nothing serious could happen here… then suddenly you’re pulled into a real murder case. I liked how it mixes humour with actual mystery — it never feels too heavy, but it still keeps you guessing...
The Thursday Murder Club (Thursday Murder Club Series #1)
A little more chaotic in a good way. I kept thinking I knew where it was going, but then new twists kept popping up. It still has that funny, relaxed group dynamic, but the stakes feel higher.
The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club Series #2)
Series 3 felt more layered and a bit more emotional. I remember following multiple storylines and slowly realizing how connected everything actually is. Still cozy, but with more tension underneath.
The Bullet That Missed (Thursday Murder Club Series #3)
This one hit different emotionally. It still has the humour and mystery, but it also feels more serious and reflective compared to the earlier books. I finished it feeling like the characters had really grown on me.
The Last Devil to Die (Thursday Murder Club Series #4)
