Trust No Spine
Trust no one, suspect everyone, and forget about bedtime. These thrillers will keep you guessing and turning pages.
If you love a thriller that makes you suspicious of absolutely everyone, this one’s for you. Go in knowing as little as possible. Trying to figure out who to trust is half the fun.
The Woman in the Window: #1 Bestselling Suspense Novel
A wedding on a remote Irish island, a guest list full of secrets, and plenty of people to side-eye. If you love messy relationships mixed with a murder mystery, I’d put this on your list.
The Guest List: Reese's Book Club Pick
That couple who seems a little too perfect? This book takes that feeling somewhere seriously unsettling. If you like tense, claustrophobic thrillers that make you desperate to know how it all ends, I’d add this to your list. **Plus it's free if you h...
Behind Closed Doors: A Novel
A luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps sounds dreamy until you find out it used to be a sanatorium and a snowstorm cuts everyone off. I’d save this one for a cold, gloomy night when you’re in the mood for something eerie.
The Sanatorium: Reese's Book Club Novel
If you like your thrillers twisted with a side of romance, I’d put Verity on your list. A writer takes on a job that gets very uncomfortable, very quickly. Go in blind, then find someone to talk about the ending with.
Verity
We hear so much about serial killers, but what about the person who shared their bed and had no idea? That’s the hook here, and it’s a good one. Pick this up if you want something dark that’ll have you wondering how well you really know anyone.
Stillhouse Lake
A mother meets a little girl who looks just like her daughter, who disappeared ten years ago. Tell me you wouldn’t need to know more. I’d pick this one when you want a mystery with some real heartbreak behind it.
Then She Was Gone: A Novel
A husband who saves people at the cliffs near his home sounds like someone you’d trust. Then one woman falls, and his wife finds out he knew her. This is my kind of setup: a marriage you immediately want to snoop around in.
The Soulmate: A Novel
A small town has kept a teenage girl’s murder secret for forty years, and I’d want to question everyone who still lives there. Pick this up if you like digging into old secrets, but be ready for some heavy subject matter. Karin Slaughter doesn’t hold...
Girl, Forgotten: A Chilling Psychological Horror Thriller Unraveling Secrets and Lies in a Small Town
I guessed all the twists in this one, but honestly? I still had fun. A bachelorette trip on a private island with old friends and plenty of bad blood makes for some entertaining drama, even when you can see where it’s going.
She Started It: A Novel
Imagine waking up in a life where you made different choices, and all you want is your old life back. Even if sci-fi isn’t usually your thing, I’d give this one a chance. Come for the suspense, stay for the existential crisis.
Dark Matter: A Novel
I’m usually pretty good at guessing endings, but this one got me. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I had to rethink my whole theory. If you’re always the person saying “I knew it,” give this one a try.
First Lie Wins: Reese's Book Club: A Novel
Everyone thinks Lucy killed her best friend, and she can’t remember enough to know if they’re right. Then a true crime podcast decides to investigate. If you like dark humor and messy people with your murder mystery, this is one I’d point you toward.
Listen for the Lie: A Novel
Just One More Chapter
For when you say you’ll stop at the next chapter and absolutely do not. These are my picks for canceled plans, neglected chores, and accidentally staying up until 2 a.m.
Witches, vampires, forbidden romance, and the kind of world you want to stay in for a while. I couldn’t put down a single book in this series. If you’re looking for something to completely disappear into, this is my pick.
A Discovery of Witches
Second book of the series
Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, Bk 2)
Third book of series
The Book of Life: A Novel (All Souls Series)
I would’ve read this in a day if I’d had the time. Two siblings discover how much they didn’t know about their mother through the recordings she leaves behind, and every revelation makes you want to keep going. Family secrets are one thing, but your ...
Black Cake: A Read with Jenna Pick: A Novel
I’ll be honest, the beginning is slow. But somewhere along the way, you stop waiting for things to happen and start caring so much about Kya that you don’t want to leave her. Such a beautiful book, and worth a little patience.
Where the Crawdads Sing: Reese's Book Club
Such an easy, good read. A library where you can try out the lives you might have lived? I could spend way too long thinking about which door I’d open first. Pick this up if you’ve ever wondered how life would look if you’d made a different choice.
The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel (The Midnight World)
One of the first books in a while that had me truly curious about what would happen next. I wasn’t just reading to finish it. I wanted answers, and putting it down felt like pausing a conversation right when it was getting good.
The Calamity Club: A Novel
Between the Covers
For the chemistry, the tension, and the occasional “did I really just read that?” These are my picks when you want a little spice with your love story.
My rec for when you want a book to take over your free time. There’s romance, danger, and enough drama in the faerie courts to keep you deeply invested in everyone’s business. Have the next book ready.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
1
This is why I’d tell you to keep reading after the first book. The slow burn, the banter, the tension while you wait for something to finally happen. If you’re here for the romance, make room in your schedule.
A Court of Mist and Fury
Come for the romance, then get way too invested in whether everyone will make it out alive. There’s a war to worry about now, so the love story shares the spotlight. I’d keep this one for a weekend when you have nowhere to be.
A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 3)
I’d think of this as a holiday catch-up with everyone after all the chaos. A little romance, a little gift shopping, and time to enjoy the characters without rushing into another crisis. Short and cozy, so save it for when you want more time in their...
A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 4)
Nesta and Cassian get their turn, and the spice goes up considerably. But there’s also a story about friendship and learning to live with the parts of yourself you’d rather hide. I’d give Nesta a chance, even if you haven’t exactly been her biggest f...
A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 5)
Love, Magic and What Ifs
A little magic, a little romance, and a lot of wondering how it’ll all work out. These are my picks for when you want to get caught up in someone else’s life, especially when theirs takes a turn you never saw coming.
A witch takes a job teaching three little witches in a house full of people who have no business keeping that many secrets. There’s romance, but the makeshift family is just as much of a draw. I’d save this for when you need something warm and comfor...
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches: A romantic cozy fantasy
Living forever sounds pretty good until no one can remember you. Then, after centuries, someone does. That premise alone would make me pick this up. Give it a little patience and room to linger.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
An inn full of unusual guests and a witch trying to figure out her own next chapter. I’d reach for this when you want a little romance and magic without giving up that cozy, everyday feeling. There’s something very appealing about starting over somew...
A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping
Imagine seeing yourself five years from now, in a different apartment with a different man than the one you plan to marry. I’d need to know how I got there. Go into this knowing as little as possible, and don’t assume you know what kind of love story...
In five years
You lock eyes with someone through a bus window, spend ages looking for him, and finally find him dating your best friend. I’d be tempted to close the book out of frustration for her already. Pick this up if you have a soft spot for missed chances an...
One Day in December: Reese's Book Club: A Novel
