(via Review: The Winters by Lisa Gabriele)

The Winters by Lisa Gabriele is a modern day retelling of the classic story, Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier. So much happens in this short psychological thriller. The engaging characters and descriptive writing will keep you intrigued, and the conclusion is sure to shock you.

(via Review: An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena)

An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena is all you could ever ask for in a murder mystery. It is a classic who-done-it, set in an old hotel in the middle of nowhere. The characters are all quite interesting and provide many different perspectives into this book that really makes you think.

(via Review: A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena)

Looking for a fast-paced thriller that will keep you guessing right up until the very end? A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena is sure to fit the bill. While I didn’t find this book to be as incredible as her debut, The Couple Next Door, this novel is packed with suspense and is definitely hard to put down. Lapena has a writing style that is easy to follow and quite succinct. The characters are very interesting, and can definitely be found in any suburban neighbourhood, making this story seem relatable.

(via Friday Reads #18: Into the Water by Paula Hawkins)

I am just a few chapters in and I am already finding myself having a hard time putting this one down. It is told in multiple perspectives and it is so interesting how the details about the victim’s life are perceived by different characters. I love a good thriller and I have high hopes for this one!
