This was such an easy read! Super quick and thrilling and perfect for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the thriller genre!

Down a Dark Road by Linda Castillo

5.0

Super easy and quick thrill! The set up was really good as it made you eager to keep reading. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed but still a good book! I’m excited to read more from this author

Chasing The Night by Iris Johansen

4.0

I did really enjoy this book, i do wish it was a much faster pace! I loved the characters but felt it was drawn out!

The Good Girl by Mary Kubica

4.0

This was a good read! I’m surprised if it’s lower rating actually! I didn’t see the ending coming at all and kind of wished it was longer in the end and shortened some in the middle. You also end up rooting for characters you’d least expect. Overall, a quick suspenseful thrill!

Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

4.0

This book took such an emotional toll. I have never felt such a hatred for a character in my whole life. Anger was constantly boiling in the pit of my stomach as I hungrily flipped through the pages hoping for revenge. I actually would have given this book 5 stars but I was ultimately PISSED there was no epilogue. How could you NOT give us a happy ending “1 year later” chapter after sitting through the pain, anger, and dreadful words before??? Grace and Millie deserve a happy ending. At least one happy chapter.

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

4.0

This book was good in the sense that I was eager to know what happened and I wanted to keep reading. However, the way the book is written the ending didn’t quite live up to the expectations. The main character’s present dialogue didn’t match up to the ending’s dialogue and was sort of conflicting. BUT!!! If you don’t think too much about that it is a good story that I found thrilling. If you’re someone who loves a quick thrill and isn’t completely caught up in the writing style, you’ll like this!

Before He Kills by Blake Pierce

4.0

This was a good one! Felt like a true criminal minds episode. I wish it was more fast paced but still really good!!

Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell

2.0

This book was painfully slow. It was painfully slow until the very very end and then it felt like the author knew he had to end it soon so he just threw a crap ending together similar to the way a procrastinator writes a 10 page paper 2 hours before it’s due.

I enjoyed some of the characters and it had potential to be so good as a true crime/detective book but it definitely missed the mark by a landslide.

Ruthless Game by Danielle Girard

3.0

Sadly this wasn’t my favorite of hers! Felt drawn out and rushed at the end. The potential was there though!

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover

3.0

This book was utterly FRUSTRATING. Maybe because I don’t keep my feelings bottled up and avoid talking in my relationship but the whole time I just wanted to yell SPEAK UP!!!! I think this book beautifully and heart wrenchingly covered the topic of infertility. Big trigger warning though for anyone currently dealing with that and if you are - please know I’m giving you the biggest hug through the screen.
