The perfect pairing of Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen has stuck gold once again with the release of their third novel You Are Not Alone, cementing their place on my list of auto-buy authors. Their writing blends beautifully, making it impossible to tell who is responsible for creating which characters or scenes. This book honestly…
Unreliable narrators have been all the rage in the thriller market for the last decade and Charlotte Duckworth offers us a smorgasbord of instability in her new novel Unfollow Me. A cautionary tale about the dangers of social media and how interconnectedness can put us in touch with some people we definitely don’t want in…
Follow Me is Kathleen Barber’s second novel, and it’s every bit as delicious as her début. The story feels utterly believable, like the sort of thing you’d read about in your local newspaper, and after reading it, I’m not sure I’ll view technology in quite the same light ever again. Some people say Audrey Miller…
Behind Every Lie is the second novel by Christina McDonald, and since I absolutely loved her 2019 release,The Night Olivia Fell, I was eager to give this one a try. It didn’t end up hooking me in quite as much as her first book did, but it’s a solid thriller in its own right. Eva…
I so enjoy when a book seeps into my psyche and elicits a strong emotional response. Début author Heather Chavez’s bingeable thriller, No Bad Deed, gave me a jump scare to end all jump scares. While engrossed in reading an especially creepy chapter of No Bad Deed, I was instantly terrified when someone I didn’t…

When you read as many thrillers as I do, it can sometimes be hard to feel like you’ve discovered something new and different. I picked up Perfect Little Children, the latest novel from author Sophie Hannah, because the blurb sounded unlike anything I’d read before. Fortunately, the synopsis didn’t let me down and I now…
According to the blurb, The Majesties is what readers could expect if Crazy Rich Asians had been written by Gillian Flynn, and since I loved both of those things, I was excited to pick it up. Author Tiffany Tsao has created a complex story of extreme wealth, dysfunctional family relationships, and the deep desire to…
Tanen Jones’ The Better Liar is one of those début novels that feels far too polished to be someone’s first book. Everything about it is pitch perfect, and I sped through it in a single sitting. It’s been years since Leslie last laid eyes on her younger sister Robin. After their mother’s death when the…
The Prized Girl is Amy K. Green’s début novel, an exceedingly dark and gritty story of one woman’s search for the truth about the death of her younger sister. It’s a novel that doesn’t pull punches as it digs into the lives of what most people would consider to be the perfect family so be…
