Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this one today. Another NetGalley title from way back.

Sometimes deserving each other means you‘re simply not receiving much 🫠.

Another one on my TBR for next year‘s Scarathlon!! #scarathlondailyprompts #knife #teamslaughter

Obsessed with this one. Did not see the twist coming at all. Still unsure who was my favorite character. Highly recommend

My second #summerween read. This was a great thriller about a husband who will do anything for his wife, including help her kill. This is the second book by Samantha Downing I‘ve read and she‘s becoming a new favorite. 5⭐️

Fathers Day is always a hard day for me as I lost my Dad 24 years ago. Today was a good day to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air and get a few pages in.

When you get a Snapchat from your friend that says go and get this right now you order it right away. It should be here Thursday about the time I finish my current read.

They were young, bright, and happy. This is how victim pictures always look.

This book hooked me right away! I liked the perspective of the killers instead of trying to figure out who the killer was. With murder something always goes south and this dark and twisty story does not disappoint!

The couple that kills together, right? I enjoyed this a lot! A social climbing couple with the extreme alternate lifestyle 😁

So I have a whole working theory about what's going to happen at the end of the book. I'm going to put it in the comments with a spoiler alert but don't tell me if I'm right yet. I'm on chapter 58 and it's been slow going and not that dramatic or thrilling as some in the genre and there's still a lot of unanswered questions. Like the odd bottle of eye drops in the pantry... But if my theory is right it will all make sense.

I'm really enjoying this listen! I have lots of ideas about who and what and why but no concrete answers yet. It is however holding my attention which is a good start.

I'm dying to read this about to order it from the library. So many good thrillers I've yet to indulge in!

Nasty and boring story. I didn't like this domestic thriller about such a diabolical couple.
Just, books about mental sociopaths don't work for me 😒

This is an amusing, twisted little story. Highly unlikely but still fun. Lately whenever a contemporary (2018 or after) book has an "x years later" epilogue, I imagine what that epilogue would look like if the author had known covid was on the horizon. The reality of the pandemic kind of constrains my imaginings of any story past the back cover. Among other things.

Slow burn thriller turned shit-hit-the-fan. 4.5 ⭐
Definitely recommended if you need a thriller!

Wasn't really sure about this one, was abit weird for me. I did predict most of the ending, although it was a good one

This book is nuts in a fun way. It‘s on sale on Kindle for $1.99 today so I had to tell people. 😁

An entertaining but not amazing thriller. #audiobook

This reads like a bookclub book. Every other chapter has a domestic social issue discussion point, i.e. adultery, troubled relationships with parents, mental health issues, middle age breakdowns. The actual aerial killer plot is just an excuse 4o get to these issues.

This was just ok for me, a little predictable. I like her book He Started It much better.

I need some ideas. What are you reading this weekend??

Quiet weekend planned 😍

🎧 5 hours down! A good thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gave this book 5 stars! Loved it. Highly recommend if you like psychological thrillers.

What a wild ride. Some twists and turns that I saw coming, others totally unexpected. Great first book of 2021. 5⭐️

🎧 #samanthadowning #thriller #serialkiller

You don't know what outcome to hope for for this unnamed, serial killer narrator. This stressful plot is deliciously devious and sick and twisted. Well done!

😱 So friggin‘ good!!!! Kind of saw one thing coming but it just added tension to the story! Loved it. 💕🌟🌟🌟🌟

New audiobook for a beautiful Friday!

I was quite satisfied by this thriller and I completely get the hype surrounding it. It‘s clever and immersive with some fun little twists along the way. If you‘ve put this one off, like I had, you might want to reconsider that choice!

I really liked this one! A couple things I did predict, but I had no idea how it would all end and it was perfectly engrossing.

First official #Screamathon read! @4thhouseontheleft

What are you currently reading? I‘ve started these to fit the prompts on the Spooktober bingo challenge I‘m participating in.

Prompt: Horror ~ Horrid
Prompt: Vampires ~ Let the Right One In
Prompt: Serial killer ~ My Lovely Wife
Prompt: Orange cover ~ Unspeakable Things

Our nameless hero and his wife are keeping secrets. He‘s also being blackmailed by his own son, is worried about his daughter‘s increasingly erratic behavior, and suddenly wondering what extra secrets his wife is keeping. Interesting enough to keep me reading, but not engaging enough to stay on my mind after I put the book down.

I always wanted to be more than above average

⭐️⭐️ • Short chapters should make this a quick read but for whatever reason this took me longer to read than I wanted. I found it mostly boring, rather predictable, and quite absurd. Hopefully some rewrites will make it a better movie or series than book.

Thank you @Eggs for the challenge and @EadieB for the tag! Sorry I didn‘t see it until now, but better late than never!
1) The tagged book
2) This may sound weird, but I would love to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid with Greg attending Hogwarts with Harry Potter. I think it would a funny spoof focusing on the mundane activities at Hogwarts
3) Multiple POVs keep me guessing, like One of Us is Lying

Can you play? @RaeLovesToRead @Nicole01070

This was boring and at times unbelievable to a point that I was just shaking my head. I don't love thrillers, and I found this fairly predictable. The end was the best part, and it bumped it up to a 3 stars for me. I'd recommend it if you love thrillers, because the concept is kind of interesting, but there's no reason to like, run out and buy a copy.

In this thriller, a couple tracks and kills women to keep their marriage alive. Then things go horribly awry.
It reminded me of Gone Girl in respect to the twists and “grand scheme.” I chose so-so because I couldn‘t fully connect to the narrator. I like stories where people make average mistakes and get caught in a web -the “it could happen to me” feel. But when the narrator gets in deep water after murdering people for fun, deep down I‘m 🤷🏼‍♀️

My name is pretty unusual, I was not expecting to see it in this context, and certainly not with my morning cup of coffee...

"Nothing ever happened in Woodview. Certainly nothing like the murder of a nice woman named Callie..."

?

I managed to finish all three of these while working on my #bulletjournal today, as I only had around 20-40% left on each of them. My favourite was My Lovely Wife,which doesn‘t surprise me since I love a good psychological thriller.It did not disappoint!🔪🖤

Current #Audiobooks... because I can never have only one on the go at a time 😂 #ReadYourSign

My weekend ended up being a bit busier than expected (not to mention a few unplanned naps🥱) but I‘ve been reading whenever I can. Not the 30hours or 10 books I was hoping for, but so far I‘ve read for 21hr28mins, finished 8 books and started 2 others. I work tomorrow, but I might carry on with the Readathon since my husband doesn‘t come home until Tuesday morning.

Really enjoying the tagged audiobook. LOVE a good psychological thriller.

This was a fun read with some twists that keep you going. It built up well and was very dark. I like my psychological thrillers far but who doesn‘t! I liked the ordinary family life juxtaposed with the less than normal behaviors.

After being able to predict the ending, and the two main characters being equally unlikable, I‘d only recommend this book as a “fun” read. A man and his wife plot how to get away with murder during their “date nights.”

But if women keep dying, and they certainly don‘t want to get caught, who‘s to blame? Why not a killer from years before?

Good plan until we soon learn the so-called murderer has been dead since before these killings started...
