Actually this book blew me! I was 100% convinced I knew what was happening…I did not.
The Perfect Son by Freida McFadden, Paperback
Not gonna lie the plot twist definitely got me
A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
The book is being re-released under a new name due to being picked up by a publisher. So you can find it under “If We Survive The Night” I loved this book. I feel like you either really like it or you wont really understand it at all. Surprisingly en...
(If We Survive The Night) The Dead Weight by Jo Salazar
This may have been my best read of 2025! My girl Jeneva did her big one with this.
The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
This book was annoying but definitely good. Kept me on my toes!
That's Not My Name by Megan Lally
Words cannot describe how angry this book made me. It was disturbing but I was addicted. Couldn't put it down.
The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak
The sequel was good. I dont think it was as good as the original, but definitely good.
The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose
This is really the best horror book I’ve read in a while! Definitely my best of 20241 It gives you horror while also making you interested in the relationship dynamics. It gives you twists without being stupid. This person really knows how to write a book especially plot twists that don’t ruin the book.
Hemlock Island by Kelley Armstrong
1 word. Messyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. 4.5 stars.
False Witness by Karin Slaughter
I devoured this book. The tension was incredible and the audiobook narrator had me fully thirsting over Simon, which is… deeply concerning considering he’s a serial killer. 💀📚
None Shall Sleep #1 - Ellie Marney
This was a book that had me constantly trying to think of what I would do in the situation…definitely not what the main character was doing.
Survive the Night by Riley Sager
I wouldn't have been able to last in this society baby they would've had to off me.
The Buried by Melissa Grey
A thriller that actually had twists and turns?! This would make a great movie! At times the main character made me mad, but it was forgivable.
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
Aside from the main character this book had a lot of potential. But I felt like a lot of the choices she made were just so horribly stupid it made her unlovable as a character. Straight dumb and you’re supposed to be a doctor ma’am? I felt like I was...
The Locked Door by Freida McFadden Freida
This book is so creepy. Full stop. Normally I can read horrors and thriller no problem. I don't blink at gruesome true crime. But it's something about the way this book was written that deeply disturbed me. I was also infuriated for most of the book....
Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage
Man every time I though I knew where this book was going BAM! new information making me re-guess everything I thought I knew.
Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty
Sad Girl Books
This list of books probably can be described as sad, emotional, tense, and/or sometimes reflective
This book was so amazing from start to finish. That mama? Although I understand her I also hated her attitude.
The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel
Plot twist of the century. I really didn’t see it coming a hundred miles away. They absolutely got me!I can usually somewhat guess a books ending…this?!?!?! No
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
This man is luckyyyyy he wasn't my husband or daddy because this blewwwww me. The first wife was smart though. It was a little funny at times but definitely tragic.
Family Trust by Kathy Wang
Fun/Lighthearted
Occasionally I do read fun or lighthearted books
This was really cute and funny. Like he's an actual bear…that can't talk.
My Boyfriend is a Bear by Pamela Ribon & Cat Farris
