Fantasy!
Thriller/ Mystery
Fantasy!
Fantasy is not my favorite genre, so just know that these books are top-tier for me to recommend them!
This modern fantasy series was so much fun! If you like greek mythology and fantasy this is a great combination.
A Touch of Darkness (Hades x Persephone Saga 1)
These books exceeded my expectations! It was the perfect balance of thrill, romance, fantasy, action, and drama. I am not typically a fantasy book girl, but I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes to read. And if you’re not a big reader, this ser...
Throne of Glass Paperback Box Set
1
This is technically book 8, but my friend who recommended the series to me told me to read this one first. I highly recommended starting with this one!
The Assassin's Blade: Throne of Glass Prequel
This is the second book I read, but technically book 1 in the series. I feel like this is where the storyline really starts to be revealed.
2) Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass Series)
This is the 3rd book to read if you are going in the suggested order. This book is a lot of world-building and scene setting.
3) Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass Series)
This book reveals a lot of huge information that really sets up the rest of the series.
4) Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass Series)
This was probably my favorite book of the series. I devoured it faster than I thought was even possible!
5) Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass Series)
This book is very unique because it can be tandem read with Tower of Dawn, the next book in the series. If you are interested in learning what a tandem read is (Reading 2 books at once), I will link the guide in the comments!
6) Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass Series)
This book is the one that can be tandem read with Empire of Storms. I was a little nervous to take that on, and it did take me a while to read it. BUT I am so so glad I did.
7) Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass Series)
This is the final book in the series and holy crap it was so good! It is a huge book but I read it so fast because I could not put it down. The ending to this series will change your brain chemistry forever!
8) Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass Series)
Thriller/ Mystery
These are my favorite thriller books that I have ever read. And yes, all of the books I recommend I have read myself.
This was a quick, fun read! At some points it felt like it was getting predictable but I was very wrong. This is a great book if you are Freida McFadden fan and love a book with a good twist.
The Inmate by Freida McFadden

This book was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad I read it. The Paris Apartment had me gripped from start to finish and the ending was so unbeleivably unexpected.
The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
I would pay to have this book erased from my memory just so I can read it all again!!!! I read the entire series in 2 days and it was a rollercoaster of emotions. I would highly recommend if you like a good revenge plot with some romance, action, and...
The Mindf*ck Series by S.T. Abby
This book was so twisty, dark, and thrilling that I was left speechless at the end. I would highly recommend checking out the show too after you read the book!
Sharp Objects: A Novel By Gillian Flynn
The first couple pages of this book started off strong and it just kept getting better. Definitely read this book if you enjoy endings that have you shook and puzzled at the same time!
Verity by Colleen Hoover
This was a quick, fun read with excellent writing and a unique twist on a whodunit story. Definitely a great summer read.
The Guest List: A Novel by Lucy Foley
This book has one of the best plot twists I have ever read. I recommend this book to everyone who likes a good thriller and it usually gets them hooked on Freida McFadden's books. The great part… it's the first book of a series so you get 2 more book...
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
This is part 2 of the Housemaid series and this book it just as thrilling as the first one! The premise is similar, but it is still its own unique story that doesn't feel redundant. I highly recommend!
The Housemaid's Secret by Freida McFadden
If you like a good female revenge and vigilante justice plot, this book is for you!
They Never Learn by Layne Fargo
The plot twist at the VERY end of this book had me telling everyone I know about it. I could not stop talking about the ending for weeks. This book fully got me out of my reading slump.
Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh
This book is thrilling and honestly, slightly disturbing in the most intriguing way. I literally read this book in 2 days which is fast for me because I could not put it down. 10/10 recommend!
The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry
If you like a little bit of horror, this book is fantastic! It definitely takes a twist at the end that gives it a complete thriller vibe.
Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak

If you haven't noticed I love a good revenge plot and this book is PURE revenge! I loved every second of it!
Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone
If you enjoy history this book might be great for you! I say might because it is based on historical events but adds a little bit of fiction to it. I wasn't sure if I'd like it but it was on sale so I bought it. Definitely is one of my top 10 favorit...
The Hunger by Alma Katsu
This book was a TRIP! I will be honest, the story line is a slow burn and it never really reaches some insane climax. But the experience of reading this book is one I will never ever forget. PS: THIS BOOK CANNOT BE READ ELECTRONICALLY IF YOU WANT THE...
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
