OMG. What did I just read? If you think Woman Down by Colleen Hoover is a standard thriller, you’re mistaken. This was a graphic, taboo ‘cringe-fest’ following Petra, an author who takes method writing way too far. From a disturbing extramarital affair to a late-game thriller pivot, here is why this book left me creeped out.

On The Edge by Kate Horan was my first book by this author, and I enjoyed the fast paced, addictive, easy to read crime thriller. The suspense and hidden secrets made it so intriguing. Add it to your TBR.

Great Big Beautiful Life promised glamour, legacy, and heart—but only partially delivered. While the setup was compelling, the execution felt rushed and lacked emotional depth. Characters skimmed the surface rather than diving deep, leaving me craving more. Here’s my full, honest take on what soared—and what fell flat.

Suspend your belief while you read this thriller.

The layered plot expertly wove past and present, revealing secrets at just the right moments. Dark themes were handled with care, making this a compelling and addictive read.

Beautiful Ugly had the setup for a gripping thriller but fell flat. The isolated island, eerie atmosphere, and unreliable narrator should have built suspense, yet the story dragged with repetitive narration. Grady Green’s perspective lacked depth, and the so-called twist relied more on deception than clever misdirection. If you’re looking for true psychological tension, this one misses the mark.
