The pain these characters go through is conveyed so brilliantly by the author. At the end, you are left with an overwhelming sadness for what they’ve been through, and in that way it goes far beyond your typical thriller.

It felt like a classic Hollywood thriller in many ways and again added that intensity. This book has great Verity meets Broken Girls vibes and is insanely bingeable, especially on audio.

A Flicker in the Dark is such a great atmospheric book, and Willingham’s descriptive writing is incredible. I felt as though I was in this book, watching the scenes unfold alongside our main character.

That's Not My Name is a YA thriller completely blew me away from start to finish. Do not let the categorization fool you - That’s Not My Name reads like an adult thriller, with twists and turns along the way and a dark and chilling atmosphere you won’t soon forget
