Collection of Stories in 2025
"We are all just collections of stories we haven't told yet, waiting for the one person who knows how to read between the lines of our silence." - The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai
This book makes you want to believe in true love.
"I would have waited an eternity for you. Knowing you would come for me is the only thing that kept me sane."
Fairydale: A Novel by Veronica Lancet, Paperback
A short story with masterpiece plot.
"I would rather love a coward than mourn a legend." - .
The Six Deaths of the Saint (Into Shadow)
This story is honestly so precious. It’s a total 'star-crossed lovers' vibe where they’re fighting for their lives just to be together. Even without any smut, the pining is top-tier and it totally hits you in the feels.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
I am literally obsessed with this book. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve reread it. Honestly, no man compares to how hard Christian yearns and wants.
I know it looks like it might be cheesy, but I promise it’s actually incredibly well-writte...
The Maddest Obsession
"Just as we cannot force ourselves to love someone, we cannot force ourselves to unlove them, either. Fate can be foolish, and fate can be careless. But fate is always true." -.
Jennifer Hartmann is such an incredible writer that I’m actually scar...
June First by Jennifer Hartmann
Give this a shot if you like survival fantasy. It’s a wild ride and the plot is great, but fair warning: the ending is a total letdown. It completely trashed the MC’s character arc for me.
I love her but the second book is just meh for me. It does n...
The Serpent and the Wings of Night: Book 1
This book ruined me. I spent weeks trying to get over that ending! They’re my absolute favorites, but at the same time, watching them fall in love again and again is pure torture.
Bone Island: Book of Danvers by Nicole Fiorina
“Knights are shooting stars, Six. They come and go. But you and me, our sisterhood of Diviners – we’re the moon. We’re eternal.” - The Moth
If you’re into gothic romance literature, you seriously have to read this! Honestly, finding out the truth a...
The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
You have got to read this entire series! I’m telling you, once you hit the climax, you’re gonna want to chuck the book across the room and just start screaming. It’s that intense!
The Risk - by ST Abby
“Everybody lies.” -.
The plot gave me total chills. It’s scary what people are capable of when they’re trying to hide the truth.
Never Lie by Freida McFadden, Paperback
"At seventeen, Lenora Hope
Hung her sister with a rope.
Stabbed her father with a knife.
Took her mother's happy life.
'It wasn’t me,' Lenora said.
But she’s the only one not dead."
This book’s plot is absolutely wild! If you're a fan of plot twist...
The Only One Left: A Novel by Riley Sager, Paperback
Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. I have known so many sick women all my life. - .
This story is a bit of a slow burn and takes a while to get going, but stick with it—the climax is totally wo...
Sharp Objects: A Novel by Gillian Flynn, Paperback
"We often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It’s boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm—and constant."
If you’re into psychological romance thrillers, ...
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, Paperback
"There are many things that make me afraid to go to sleep. You, on the other hand, make me afraid to stay awake."
If you love horror, you need these. The vibes are so eerie and the writing is top-tier—guaranteed chills.
Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell, Paperback
If you’re looking to dive into the horror-thriller genre, this book is an excellent entry point. While the plot follows a classic, almost nostalgic "slasher movie" setup—a group of kids heading into the woods for a camping trip only for chaos to ensu...
The Laws of the Skies by Grégoire Courtois, Paperback
"There is beauty to be found everywhere… even in the things that scare us."
That book was such a wholesome rollercoaster. It had everything—love, heartbreak, and betrayal—all tied together into a perfect plot. I’m honestly so impressed by how the c...
Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann, Paperback
Most Awaiting Sequel in 2026
"Six girls went down to the water’s deep,
To steal the dreams the Omens keep.
One moth survived the baptismal chill,
To walk with a knight against his will.
Now the Moon is rising, silver and cold,
To finish the story the waters told—
A Knave is com...

Once Upon a Broken Heart Series
I love it.. It’s thrilling and chilling at the same time. You read each page holding onto hope, completely invested—only for the author to shatter it in a single, devastating sentence: “You’re not her.”
That's Not My Name by Megan Lally, Paperback
Lisa Jewell is truly a brilliant writer. The wholesome, happy moments feel so pure and comforting—but as the story unfolds, the plot turns increasingly disturbing, almost nauseating. It’s hard to comprehend how someone could be so vile that even deat...
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell, Paperback
Sometimes I wonder how authors manage to write such disturbingly brilliant thriller stories, especially when some parts feel so personal and emotionally real. It makes me curious about the mind behind the pages — how can someone create characters tha...
