I don‘t think I could get tired of Freida McFadden books. Quick reads that have you hooked from start to finish. The last twist is huge but brought about subtly that you really have to stop and think about it.

Absolutely. BREATHTAKING.

Amnesia. An annoying and good-looking podcaster. Visiting your parents against your will. Everyone thinks you killed your best friend. How could a trip home be a bad idea? I loved Lucy‘s sarcasm and humor. Loved trying to figure it out as you read the podcast interviews and Lucy trying to remember something. Anything.

My favorite thing about John Marrs books is that your reach a conclusion but you still have plenty of book left and you KNOW there are more twists. Engaging from start to finish, I hit 10% left and thought it could be complete. But nay nay, there was one last thing to drop your jaw!

I absolutely loved the ending and was hoping it would make up for the slower mid-section. The slow-building leads to an unexpected twist that makes sense still leaves you surprised.

My usual thriller reads have angry partners and the mess they‘ve created. This one is on such a larger scale and gave me spy-thriller vibes (but much better). It all starts with a lie and you gotta hang on for the ride to see what‘s the truth!

It‘s a slow start to get into with lots of names at the beginning but worth sticking it out. A teenager trying to solve possible murders in her town keeps you rooting for her.

Freida had me up until 3am finishing this book in a day. Such a stressful read and makes me know I could never work in a psych unit!

A great example of why you should NOT keep it in the family.

Another good thriller where you don‘t know who to trust and exactly who‘s who.

I chose this ‘romance‘ as a break from thrillers and the thought of serial killers falling in love had me intrigued. By god, it‘s giving romance, thriller, comedy, and smut! This book will have you fanning yourself, giggling, panicked, and in dark, twisted love 🖤

“That is the final twist.”
This might be my new favorite Alex Michaelides book. I‘m not a slow burn person but as the pieces fall into place, it‘s like a symphony at the crescendo. I thoroughly enjoyed the touch of humor. Now that I‘ve read all his books, I can say that they are not a series but the characters show up in each book and the stories have a thin string tying them together. They can be read independently but create a larger world.

The first half of the book, I wasn‘t feeling all the mythology and was feeling overall meh about the book. But I am not one to DNF. All the good stuff happens at the end right?
I had to pick my jaw up off the ground at this ending. I really thought I had the right suspects but woooo Nelly was I WRONG! Stayed up late to finish so I could start The Fury by the same author tomorrow.

The cover made me think it was a spooky story but it‘s a regular thriller with some twists you can‘t guess. A homeless woman on the run saves a rich housewife from downing but her life is so much more than that and wait until you find out about what kind of person her husband is.

It‘s giving chaotic, psychotic, neurotic, traumatic, and even a touch of necrotic. The only phrase you need for this book is WTF. I imagine this one will stick with me for some time.

Another great book by Freida McFadden! I did notice some similarities between this book and “The Inmate” but it‘s quite the different story that keeps you guessing. I‘d venture to say the latter plot twists in the story are even impossible to guess!

Brooke, girl, what is you doing. Consider my jaw dropped. This book is a WILD ride and a page turner until the end. And the epilogue? Don‘t skip it!!

If you‘re looking for a thriller where you won‘t be able to guess the twists and ending, you‘ve found it. There‘s left field and then there‘s switching sports entirely. While it was a decent read, the major shift is so out of … context? Or … idk… just out there that it‘s like you picked up a different book.

At first I wasn‘t sure if I could handle the days going backwards but I‘ll be darned if it wasn‘t so delicately put together. The ending is *chefs kiss*!

Your fave thriller writer writes a rom-com. How good can it actually be? AMAZING. I don‘t read too many romances but this is my fave and may be my fave Jeneva Rose book. Hank is my hero. Is Debbie adopting? Does Peyton, Maya, and Robbie need another friend? Such a seamlessly written romance with plenty of comedy!

Can you guess the ending? Probably, but you won‘t have all the details. Another great story by Kate Alice Marshall. Loved the dynamics between the sisters. Satisfied with the husband‘s outcome. I could see a sequel for this one and I‘d gladly pick up to hear more about these three sisters.

“Help me Tom Cruise! Help my baby Jesus!” My thoughts when that twist dropped and they kept coming! If you think you know what the first half of the book is about, I promise you don‘t 😱

This is my first spy thriller and I learned it‘s not my jam. While the story is detailed and well written, I found it somewhat anti-climatic. I guess I‘m used to too many psychotic twists as I predicted a lot of the book.

Oh. Em. Gee. I typically take about five days to read a book but I finished this one in two. It gave Verity vibes. It gave suspense. It gave who the ham can you trust??! LOVED the ending. But can I say… Southern Manors sounds a little tacky?? lol

Pretty slow start but develops into a nice mystery. I thought it was a pick but then realized I had forgotten I had even read it within 3 days of finishing it. I can‘t even remember the ending. On the Book of the month scale, it would be a “liked it.”

Don‘t think for a minute that because this story is centered around a high schooler that you won‘t get an absolute gripping mystery. My jaw DROPPED!

Surprising twists and a final one you cannot guess! Riley Sager did an exceptional job with this one.

I normally don‘t choose a gothic fiction but this book is a must read. It has a little bit of everything constructed beautifully: thriller, romance, mystery, and humor. This book has left a lasting impression on me and still has me thinking. And don‘t skip the Epilogue!

Action from start to finish! Breadcrumbs leading you down different paths as you follow the investigation through multiple POVs. Is it school bullying gone wrong? How strong is a teenager really? Who‘s that weird taxidermy kid?

The quote by Colleen Hoover printed on the front cover is accurate! You‘re just reading along, enjoying the story and thinking, hmm some of these things are weird. As the twists come, your jaw will literally drop at the ending. Another Jeneva Rose masterpiece!

A nice read that is unexpected. The writing style took some getting used to with all the sentence fragments and repetition (for effect). I wouldn‘t say it was really funny or scary though.

I could read 100 Kimberly King books and not get tired of her. The second book, following “Dead Woman Crossing,” is another crime needing to be solved in a sleepy town. I can honestly say I was shocked to whodunnit and the motive. Will Sam and Kimberly act on those lingering looks at each other or remain professional. It doesn‘t matter, you‘ll be internally screaming at them either way.

Dead Woman Crossing is apparently a real place. What a terrible name lol. I love Jeneva Rose books and this one does not disappoint. Small breadcrumbs may lead you to the twist but not too much that your jaw doesn‘t drop!

A well-paced read with fun twists and a little revenge! Gives haunted house energy that‘s perfect for spooky season.

Do you really know anyone fully?

The second book of the Ben Packard series. There is nothing I don‘t love about this book from the writing style to the thorough storyline. A great mystery book! You don‘t have to read the first book but highly recommend it, “And There He Kept Her.”

Lisa Jewell truly uses her craft of writing to use a specific word in a sentence to make you completely question a character‘s validity.

My first Jeneva Rose book and it was amazing! So hard to put down. Multiple twists that surprise you and the final twist almost made me fall out of my chair!

Romance and action all wrapped in a tidy story that was so enjoyable to read

What *really* happened. You‘ll just have to keep reading to find out. Don‘t skip the epilogue on this one either!

This is the #1 book I always recommend. A perfect slow build to a jaw-dropping twist. As I continue to read in this genre, I keep thinking about this one.
