The Ingenue by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
4.0
The timeline jumps back and forth between Saskia's childhood as a young child pianist prodigy and adulthood. When her mother passes away, Saskia stands to the mansion that's been in their family for generations only to discover that her Mothers will was changed.
It was dark and choppy at times but i still enjoyed it. It had alot of the same vibes as My Dark Vanessa.

Bad Mother by Mia Sheridan
5.0
Sienna is a detective who gets pushed out of New York City because of not following orders from the mayor. After moving back to Reno where she grew up she is confronted with a past relationship and a serial killer. Although this is marketed as a romance my opinion is that its mostly a thriller with a little romance thrown in. I'm not mad about it because I thoroughly enjoyed the thrill from beginning to end.

Blind Spots by Thomas Mullen
1.0
This is a DNF for me at 43%. When I first started this audiobook I went in blind so I didn't know what was going on. I only knew it was a mystery/thriller so I didn't expect the dystopian/post pandemic/sci-fi element to it. For me it felt very choppy going back and forth between the past during the blinding and after. Unfortunately this book wasn't for me.

The Angel Maker by Alex North
4.0
A dark, suspenseful new thriller about the mysteries of fate, the unbreakable bond of siblings, and a notorious serial killer who was said to know the future.
I just want to start off by saying that this is the first book by Alex North that I have read and I went in blind so I really didn't know what to expect.
This book has multiple time lines and POV's. At times I had a hard time keeping things straight in my head. At the beginning I felt completely lost as to what was going on but by the midway point I was able to grasp it.
I haven't listening to a lot of audiobooks that aren't nonfiction so I wasn't used to having to pay close attention to the story. My opinion is I probably would have enjoyed the physical copy better rather than the audio.
