What would a parent do to protect their child? Thatโs the underlying question in this fabulous new thriller from Gillian McAllister. The twists, the red herrings, the surprises! I never expected that conclusion. The story centers around a missing persons case. A young woman named Olivia walked into a dead-end alley one night and didnโt… Keep Reading
None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
What starts off with a seemingly harmless and random meeting in a restaurant (โ๐๐ช! ๐โ๐ฎ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ช๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ ๐ต๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ!โ) rapidly takes an unusual turn in this completely engrossing thriller by Lisa Jewell.

Whalefall by Daniel Kraus
What is a whalefall? I held back from delving into this marine biology term and I suggest you do the same until the end of this extraordinary book. Part sci-fi, part thriller, part adventure, this intense story will stay with me for a long time.โฃ โฃ Daniel Kraus has collaborated with Guillermo del Toro and… Keep Reading
Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent
I knew from the opening sentence that I wouldnโt be able to put this book down: โโPut me out with the bins,โ he said, regularly.โ Sally Diamond is in her 40s and still lives with her adoptive parents in a small Irish village. She canโt quite be described as being on the spectrum, as her… Keep Reading
The Last Word by Taylor Adams
When I read the synopsis of this book I was hooked! A reader leaves a one-star review for a thriller author and he stalks her? Sold! After making sure that the dog doesnโt die (spoiler: he doesnโt!) I jumped right in to the audiobook. There arenโt many characters in this story but the twists… Keep Reading

The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
Full confession: Iโm an Ashley Audrain super fan. When โThe Pushโ was released, I told every friend, co-worker and family member to read it. I also bought a signed copy for my bookshelf. So when โThe Whispersโ was announced, it went to the top of my most anticipated books of the year. And Iโm happy… Keep Reading
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
You donโt have to be a โbook personโ to love this thought-provoking and biting story about a plagiarist.
