FREIDA MCFADDEN
probably my fave book of hers! actually the first book i read by McFadden. the first housemaid is a close second but this was twisty. making you think you’ve figured out the female protagonist’s secret then you realize you’re wrong…

Never Lie
I’m sure this is no surprise. this series is so good and imo worth the hype. I will say after reading all 3, book one was still my favorite. i’m excited to see how the movie compares! 100% recommend this whole series. description for each book in the...
The Housemaid 3-Book Bundle by Freida McFadden
another good pick from Freida! my latest read from her actually. this is another I thought I’d figured out towards the end but nope. the twist was good!

The Boyfriend
i love the way Freida makes you assume you know what’s really going on and then BOOM, a twist my twist. this book is a prime example of that. but it’s what i love about her books. definitely worth the read.

The Inmate
the name is kinda a give away but you have to try and figure out which one, or if any, will be left..
it’s a spooky setting and you immediately know things are going to go downhill quickly. this one intrigued me and of course gave us a twist! descr...
One by One
ALEX MICHAELIDES
honestly may be my favorite book I’ve read. it’s so well written and keeps you enthralled the whole book imo. I’m looking to read more of his books but don’t think they’ll measure up to this one! Description in the photos
The Silent Patient
I sense a pattern with the therapist with Michaelides (lol). this was a different read but in a good way! it took me a minute to get into unlike the Silent Patient but this was a good read and well written
The Maidens: A Novel
another good read from Michaelides but can’t touch the Silent Patient (lol). This is very twisty but I somewhat figured it out towards the end. he’s still a fantastic writer, just not my fave from him, but worth the read! I also love the cover art
The Fury
COLLEEN HOOVER
I’ve read quite a few Hoover’s books but her thriller novels are my favorites. this is probably my favorite book of hers! its suspenseful but has the romance aspect too. it’s so unlike her other stories and kept me intrigued the whole time. descripti...
Verity
another thriller/romance from Hoover. this was really good! it had some parts that gripped me and broke my heart. but the romance aspect was great! description in the photos
Too Late: Definitive Edition
another suspenseful book from Colleen Hoover! this is definitely different from her normal romance novels but so good.
check for trigger warnings in this as well!
Layla
an intriguing read all the way through! but I will say I was caught off guard by the ending. it was not what I expected at all but with still worth the read!
Never Never: Romantic Suspense Novel
JASON REKULAK

I listened to this book on audio and really enjoyed it! the end was not what I expected but I was happy with the way he ended it. Description in the photos!
The Last One at the Wedding: A Novel
RILEY SAGER
this book was great! actually found this at the local library and had never read Sager, so glad I picked it up! it’s such a good story with many layers that keep you intrigued!
The Only One Left: A Novel
this was twisty and haunting! I enjoyed the dual narrative between past and present. Sager is a great story teller with a flare for suspense
Home Before Dark
a good mystery with a surprise ending for sure! be sure to pay attention to the small details! definitely recommend
The House Across the Lake: A Novel
an intense psycho thriller! this has lots of twists and turns so it makes it hard to even guess the ending. overall a good, thrilling read!
Final Girls: A Novel
ASHLEY FLOWERS
I was thrilled to know my favorite podcaster wrote a book! i’m obsessed with her story telling on Crime Junkie so I knew this would be good. of course it had the mystery and suspense you’d expect. it kept you guessing and I couldn’t put it down!
All Good People Here: A Novel
Ashley’s second book and honestly just as good as her first! I’m excited she decided to keep writing. this was just as twisty and turning!
The Missing Half: A Novel
MEGAN LALLY
this was a wild one and I loved! it was so creepy, exciting and mysterious. i look forward to reading more from Lally
