Chris Whitaker’s We Begin at the End is one of my favourite books of all time. It was the first book that didn’t feature a grand plot or fantastical elements or anything that usually impresses me and yet still left me feeling something. This article contains affiliate links.

I absolutely love a thriller every now and then. They're often the perfect palette cleanser between some of the more complex or longer books that I often enjoy to read. With a thriller, you're getting something written very approachable, set in your own world, not featuring too many characters and a plot that's easy enough to follow. Therefore, when I picked up The Sisters by Claire Douglas, I was looking forward to more of the same. This article contains affiliate links.

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney is a thriller I've seen on socials now for quite a few years - it appears to be a well-respected little thriller with enough going for it that people rate it highly over some other thrillers. I know Alice Feeney in general has a good reputation for writing solid thrillers and so I went into this with high expectations. And I wasn't disappointed. This article contains affiliate links.

If you hadn't guessed already, I've been reading quite a bit of McFadden recently. As I state in most of my reviews, this isn't because I'm the biggest fan (not to suggest I'm not a fan either) but simply because I know exactly what I'm getting when I read a McFadden book - relatively short, simple and fast-paced. And whenever I picked up a McFadden this is exactly what I want. The Teacher is no different in this aspect but I would argue is one of my preferred books from her.

Freida McFadden has quickly become an author whose audiobooks I have all ready to be sent to me when ready via my Libby app and whose books always seem to scratch a little itch I have for something easy and fast-paced. The Coworker is certainly both of these but also struggles along the way. This article contains affiliate links.

Freida McFadden is becoming one of those authors whose books I go to whenever I need something lighter and easier to read. After finishing A Little Life one of the longest, most depressing books I've ever read, picking up The Inmate was exactly what I needed. But, is it a good book in its own right too?

Never Lie is now my fifth Freida McFadden book, but only my second that wasn't in the Housemaid series. Therefore, I'm really starting to get a feel of the formula that McFadden likes to go with and decide for myself if i'm going to continue with her future books (I have others sitting on my TBR shelf).

The Housemaid series is without a doubt one of the most popular thriller series out there. If you ever check the top-selling books on the Amazon Kindle store, one of the first two Housemaid books will inevitably be on there. So when The Housemaid is Watching was announced and I saw that it was going to be coming out in paperback on launch day, I pre-ordered it in almost every form you could (audiobook, kindle and paperback). And here are my thoughts... Please note that this article contains affiliate links.
