Gore
INSANE. This is the type of book I think about for the rest of my life. The cannibalism isn't even the worst part! There's something so poetic about seeing humans at their worst and what horrors we can end up in. We all handle grief differently, I gu...
Tender Is the Flesh: Bazterrica, Agustina
Another girly book portraying yearning and loss as cannibalism 🫶🏻 the characters are so well done and they portray emotion so well, I felt absolutely hollow at the end of this
Bones & All by Camille DeAngelis
Such a quick read! A group of friends host a wedding at a haunted Japanese mansion, only to find themselves targeted by the vengeful ghost bride and other spirits.
Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
Crime
You will never break the chain. The suspense of figuring out if they were going to continue the chain and how they were going to get Kylie back made me doubt everyone and the end was still completely different than what I thought it would be!
The Chain - McKinty, Adrian: Books
Beautifully written, I feel like having an unreliable narrator worked in this case. I DID figure the twist out but it was done very well and it still kept my interest
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
This twist definitely went somewhere I did NOT think it was gonna go? A murder mystery that takes you further than just the murders.
The Maidens by Alex Michaelides
SO sad! Its a thriller that keeps you on your toes told from the perspective of a detective investigating a horrifying crime that mirrors one from the same town years ago. The twist genuinely broke my heart :(
The Shadows by Alex North
Five boys went hunting, only four came back. Now no one is speaking about what happened in the woods and who shot their friend.
This Is Our Story by Ashley Elston
One of my favorite thriller/mystery series! Jazz is the son of an infamous serial killer and years after his dad is jailed, there is a copycat killing in the same way his dad did (kind of trying to get Jazz's attention)
I Hunt Killers (I Hunt Killers, #1) by Barry Lyga
A good sequel, without any spoilers, Jazz goes to New York to help solve a bigger impostor.
Game by Barry Lyga
The final book to the series definitely didn't let me down, I feel like it had a really good ending and I wouldve actually enjoyed another book after this!
Blood of My Blood (I Hunt Killers, 3) by Barry Lyga
Okay, okay, YES this is like "dark romance" -ish BUT I really enjoyed the gore and the serial killer scenes! They pay homage to famous serial killers like Leatherface and Norman Bates and its really well done!
Butcher & Blackbird (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, #1) by Brynne Weaver
