Holy Sh*t! This book made me feel so many emotions 🫣🤯

Just finished Gray After Dark by Noelle W. Ihli and I’m still reeling. This book is a wild, emotional, edge-of-your-seat thriller that grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go.

Miley’s story is gripping—equal parts terrifying and empowering. I was completely invested in her fight for survival. The pacing is perfect, the tension is high, and the emotional weight behind every decision she makes hits hard. I loved how the author portrayed her strength and vulnerability so realistically.

This is easily one of the best thrillers I’ve read this year!

Quote I won’t forget:
“I didn’t survive what I survived to give up now.”

My Ratings:
Plot: ★★★★★
Characters: ★★★★★
Atmosphere: ★★★★★
Ending: ★★★★★
Overall: ★★★★★

If you’re into survival thrillers with strong female leads, chilling villains, and emotional depth, Gray After Dark is a must-read😎

Oh my god Noelle you have me wrapped around your finger girl. This book was so so intense and I ate up every second of it. While also making me never want to go into the forest again 🫠🫠🫠 and the epilogue? Look at you making me cry over a thriller. I loved this book. If you’re looking for thrillers to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time, read literally anything by Noelle Ihli!!
