The ending was definitely suspenseful, and I liked how things played out.
What I Liked: The multiple POVs were a great touch. It gave the story more depth and kept the suspense alive, especially with how each character’s mindset unfolded. The plot was clever and twisted, and the ending? Let’s just say it packed a punch.
What Could’ve Been Better: There were moments that felt a bit slow for me—lots of descriptive parts that, while important to the story, dragged the pacing down a little. It wasn’t a deal-breaker, but I did find myself waiting for things to pick up again.
Overall, The Kind Worth Killing was a solid read, even if it didn’t completely blow me away. If you like slower, more calculated thrillers with complex characters, this might be one for you....more
This book isn’t just a thriller—it’s an emotional ride. Beneath the murder mystery and dark twists, Jar of Hearts4 stars or maybe 3.8? Still debating.
This book isn’t just a thriller—it’s an emotional ride. Beneath the murder mystery and dark twists, Jar of Hearts is really about trauma, guilt, and how the past never truly lets go. The buildup had me fully invested, but just when I expected that final gut punch, the ending didn’t hit as hard as it could have. Still, it’s a gripping, intense read that hits hard in unexpected ways. If you’re into psychological thrillers that also dig deep into the emotional scars people carry, this one’s worth picking up....more

Maas took**spoiler alert** I don’t even know where to start because A Court of Mist and Fury completely wrecked me in the best way possible. Sarah J. Maas took everything I thought I knew from A Court of Thorns and Roses and flipped it upside down, giving us a story that is bigger, bolder, and absolutely breathtaking.
Let’s talk about Feyre. The way she transforms in this book? Phenomenal. She goes from being broken and lost to finding her strength, her voice, and her true home. Her journey felt so real—full of raw emotions, heartbreak, and moments of pure triumph.
Rhysand. I have no words. Scratch that—I have too many words. I fell in love with Rhysand in this book, and I refuse to recover. He’s charming, powerful, and a complete menace in the best way, but more importantly, he respects Feyre in a way that makes your heart ache. The banter? Perfection. The tension? Unmatched. The way he encourages Feyre to make her own choices and be her own person? Absolutely swoon-worthy.
Introducing Cassian, Azriel, Mor, and Amren was one of the best things Maas did for this series. Their dynamic is everything—loyalty, sarcasm, and so much love. I adored every moment with them, and honestly, I’d read an entire spin-off about their adventures.
Velaris is a dream—a hidden city full of art, starlight, and freedom. Maas paints such a vivid picture of the Night Court that I found myself wishing I could live there. Her writing in ACOMAF is stunning, balancing action, emotion, and humor so well that I couldn’t put the book down.
This is slow-burn done right. The romance in this book is built on trust, friendship, and healing, and I ate up every second of it. The moments of tension, the banter, the wingspan jokes—it was all so perfectly paced.
If you loved ACOTAR—or even if you just liked it—this book will change everything for you. It’s a masterpiece, and I will never shut up about it....more

The story focuses on Wes trying to win Liz back, which had potential, but it just didn’t hit the way I hoped.
Liz’s emotional struggles were understandable, and I liked how the book acknowledged that love alone doesn’t magically fix everything. But at the same time, the story felt like it was just going in circles, and the chemistry between Liz and Wes didn’t have that spark that makes second-chance romances unforgettable. I kept waiting for that moment—the one that would make me feel something deeper—but it never really came.
Overall, it’s a decent read, but it didn’t leave a strong impression on me. Maybe if I had read Better Than the Movies first, I would’ve been more invested, but as it stands, it was just okay. If you’re a fan of the first book, you might enjoy revisiting these characters. But if you’re looking for a second-chance romance that truly tugs at your heartstrings—sorry, this might not be the one....more

Freida McFadden never disappoints when it comes to fast-paced, unputdownable thrillers, and Ward D is no exception. This book had me flipping pages so fast—the eerie hospital setting, the sense of paranoia, and the unexpected twists? Chef’s kiss.
The short chapters made this such a quick, gripping read, and the eerie, locked-ward setting added to the tension perfectly. That constant feeling of being watched? Chilling. And, of course, the twist—McFadden knows how to throw a curveball, and I definitely didn’t see it coming.
I really enjoyed this book! The eerie tension kept me on edge the whole time, and the twist was solid. But� I wanted more. The ending felt a bit abrupt—I was hoping for a deeper dive or an extra layer of shock. Still, it was a wild ride, and I’d totally recommend it. If you love psychological thrillers with an eerie hospital setting and a mind-twisting plot, this one’s for you....more

The way it was written, especially with the podcast-style storytelling, made it stand out from the usual thriller or crime books. It’s easy to read and follow, and despite having a lot of characters, I found it to be a fast-paced book that kept me engaged.
The story follows Lucy, the main character, who has no memory of the night her best friend was murdered. Five years later, a true crime podcast starts digging into the case, forcing her to confront what really happened. The way the mystery unravels, with alternating timelines and podcast episodes woven in, adds to the suspense and keeps you guessing.
The characters are well-developed, and Lucy is an interesting protagonist—flawed, unreliable, and struggling with her past, which makes her journey compelling. The supporting characters add layers to the story, but I have to admit that the frequent affairs between different characters weren’t my favorite part. While it did add complexity and multiple suspects to the mystery, it wasn’t something I particularly enjoyed.
Overall, though, the book was still great. The mix of dark humor, suspense, and an intriguing mystery made it a fun and gripping read!...more
Personally, I like the book but feel so-so about it. It’s more emotional than thriller, which isn’t exactly what I expected.
That said, Ask for Andrea Personally, I like the book but feel so-so about it. It’s more emotional than thriller, which isn’t exactly what I expected.
That said, Ask for Andrea stands out with its unique storytelling approach. Instead of following a typical investigation or survivor’s perspective, it’s told through the voices of the victims—women who never got the chance to tell their stories. This makes the book deeply unsettling, emotional, and even heartbreaking at times. The author does a great job of making each woman feel real, which adds to the weight of their narratives.
While the thriller aspect isn’t as intense as I initially hoped, the book keeps you engaged in a different way—through raw emotions, eerie tension, and the haunting way the story unfolds. It’s less about the chase for justice and more about giving these victims a voice, making it a powerful, thought-provoking read. If you’re looking for something that blends true crime vibes with a more emotional depth, this one is worth picking up!...more

I’ve seen some reviews where people couldn’t get through it, maybe because the pacing felt slow to them. The action really picks up towards the end, but honestly, I didn’t mind at all. I never got bored—I enjoyed the steady pacing because it allowed me to fully immerse myself in the world, get to know the characters, and take in all the details.
It’s actually been a while since I last read a romantasy, and this book reignited my love for the genre. I'm definitely sensing an enemies-to-lovers trope brewing, and I can't wait to read more! I was originally team Tamlin—like most people probably are after reading the first book—but the moment Rhysand was introduced� oh god, there was just something about him. That intrigue, that charm—I was hooked. And since enemies to lovers is my favorite trope, I just know I’m in for a ride!...more
Lisa Jewell has a way of crafting thrillers that pull you in immediately, and Then She Was Gone is no exception.
What I Loved: Jewell’s writing style iLisa Jewell has a way of crafting thrillers that pull you in immediately, and Then She Was Gone is no exception.
What I Loved: Jewell’s writing style is effortless to get lost in, making this a fast and absorbing read. The emotional depth of the story adds another layer, turning this into more than just a thriller—it’s also a heartbreaking exploration of grief, loss, and the haunting power of unanswered questions. The atmosphere throughout the book is subtly eerie, with just the right amount of tension to keep me on edge. While I had some early suspicions, I still enjoyed the gradual unraveling of the mystery, and the way everything pieced together was undeniably compelling.
What Could Have Been Better: That said, I was hoping for more unpredictable twists. Some moments felt a little too convenient, and while the story was engaging, I kept waiting for a jaw-dropping reveal that never quite came. The ending wrapped up in a way that felt a little too neat for my liking—I wanted something darker or more unsettling to match the tension that had been building. And while the antagonist’s role in the story was disturbing, their motives felt a bit surface-level compared to the deeply emotional elements of the book.
Overall, Then She Was Gone is a gripping and well-written psychological thriller that delivers an emotional punch. While it didn’t completely shock me, it was still an engrossing read, and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves a mystery that’s as much about human emotion as it is about the twists....more

Never Lie pulled me in from page one, and that twist? I did NOT see it coming! The tension kept climbing, every reveal made me second-guess myself, and just when I thought I had it all figured out—boom, another shocker. I couldn’t put this book down.
What I Loved: Everything. Seriously, everything. The pacing was relentless (but that’s McFadden for you), the atmosphere was chilling, and the dual timeline added so many layers to the mystery. And the best part? That twist. I was convinced I knew where it was headed, but nope—completely blindsided. The eerie, isolated setting kept me on edge, the psychological depth made every character feel unpredictable, and when all the clues finally clicked into place, it was incredibly satisfying.
If you love thrillers that mess with your head and keep you flipping pages into the early hours, Never Lie is a must-read. Dark, gripping, and absolutely addictive—easily one of my favorite Freida McFadden books....more

While the story itself is well-written, I didn’t get the ‘wow� factor I was hoping for. The big revelation didn’t shock me as much as I expected, which made the ending feel a bit underwhelming.

What really stood out to me was how the tension built up gradually, keeping me second-guessing every clue. The mix of supernatural elements with psychological twists made it an addictive read. While some parts felt a bit predictable, the overall atmosphere and storytelling more than made up for it. Definitely a book that lingers in your mind even after you’ve finished!...more
