The Weekend Retreat by Tara Laskowski

This slow building, suspenseful, and twist filled read kept my interest all the way through. The action inside the house was mirrored by the storm outside. I really liked that the house had such a storied history. Very well done.

What Waits In The Woods by Terri Parlato

 

 I loved this suspenseful and intricately plotted read. I was drawn into the search for Kara's killer. Rita's more objective perspective was an interesting counterpoint to Esme's personal perspective. Jaw dropping twists added another exciting dimension to the story.

The Vacation by John Marrs

 

 This book was impossible to put down! The diversity, backgrounds, and secrets of the people at hostel made them extremely fascinating. The most exciting aspect of the novel was that nothing is as it seems. I loved it so much that I felt sad for it to end.

The Handyman Method by Nick Cutter and Andrew F. Sullivan

 

 A disturbing, insane, grotesque and wild ride! Like nothing I have ever read before. Every time I thought I had guessed what was actually going, there was another twist to throw me off track. I really enjoyed not knowing what to expect.

The Engagement Party by Darby Kane

 

 I adored this suspenseful and action packed read! Having the setting on an isolated island dramatically increased the tension between the characters. I was breathless with anticipation over what would happen next. Darby Kane is a master of her craft.

Perfect Little Lives by Amber and Danielle Brown

 

 I found this suspenseful and intense thriller impossible to put down! I loved being along for the ride during Simone's investigation into her mother's murder. Simone is stubborn, tough, and full of heart which makes her very endearing. The twists were exciting and jaw dropping. An excellent read!

The Fiction Writer by Jillian Cantor

 

 A suspenseful and action packed Gothic thriller! Everything you think you know is wrong in the most delightful way. Intrigue, passion, secrets and lies make this a story that you won't be able to put down until the very last page.
