2025 Best Thriller Books
9
items I am a girl who is just waiting for the next book that is going to hook me and have me captivated until the final page. All of these recs do just that!
If you love Only Murders in the Building, this book is for you! I imagined the apartment building with the same for both while I was reading and it was so dark and twisty!
Lock Every Door by Riley Sager
If you’re into haunted houses, this is THE book. It’s a quick read with just a few pages over 300. It’s twisty and perfect for the start of spooky season!
Play Nice by Rachel Harrison
I think this is my favorite Riley Sager book! I don’t know what took me so long to read this one, but oh my gosh was I hooked from the beginning!
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
The perfect spooky haunted house vibe book for the month of October!
The Only One Left by Riley Sager
If you’re looking for a book that you can’t put down until you figured out “who done it,” this is your book. You will be left feeling like you have no idea what just happened at the end!
We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer
This book gripped me at the very beginning. The dual timelines were written so well. I felt like I could easily switch into different settings and fully understand a character who was murdered before the story really began.
The It Girl by Ruth Ware
This book is on everyone’s 2025 best books list, and I’m no exception! I’d say it’s more of a mystery versus thriller because you don’t care as much as about who dun it but you want to know all the background!
The Ghostwriter: A Novel by Julie Clark
One of my favorite reads in 2025! It was so quick paced. If you don’t like your heart racing, I’d skip this. I felt like I didn’t know how this lady was gonna make it out of the trouble she was in the entire book!
The Last Flight by Julie Clark
I don’t usually resonate with a young adult book, but this felt so much more than that! It brought me back to high school and just immersed me into the story.
