4 Stars • The Inmate by Freida McFadden is a gripping psychological thriller that I couldn‘t put down. Brooke Sullivan, a nurse at a maximum-security prison, faces her ex, Shane, a convicted murderer she helped put away. ⬇️

suvata The fast pace, short chapters, and jaw-dropping twists kept me hooked, though Brooke‘s naive choices frustrated me. The prison vibe and chilling epilogue are spot-on, but some plot conveniences and her reckless decisions dock it a point. Still, a solid 4/5 for a wild, twisty ride. 2d

The Defense: A Novel | Steve Cavanagh

2.75⭐
•I tried this while knowing it probably wouldn‘t work for me, despite really liking Kill For Me, Kill For You. Inevitably, it was a combination of the narration and the storyline that didn‘t work for me. It wasn‘t my style of book, I believe. When it comes to thrillers, I‘m more new-school than old-school, and this felt old-school to me, which more than likely translates to it being liked by many others.

The Tower | Gregg Andrew Hurwitz

pick

Every time I pick up a novel by Gregg Hurwitz, I can‘t help but feel confident that it‘s going to be an excellent read. His first novel, “The Tower,” is a fast-paced and suspenseful story that perfectly captures the essence of the genre I love. It features a high-security prison, a sadistic serial killer, and an ex-FBI agent, all elements that make for a thrilling and engaging read.

The Lake | Natasha Preston

Then, with wide eyes, I turn to find five gun barrels pointing at me.
Kayla, Rebekah, Olly and Jake are dead, Lillian is gone . . . and I‘m holding the gun.

The Breakdown: A Novel | B. A. Paris

Another great psychological suspense novel by B.A. Paris. I was able to figure out the twists on this one pretty early in, but that didn‘t diminish the fun in reading this.
