2020 was very shitty, but these books made it better!
🔪The Whisper Man by Alex North | Caledon Books
- Dark, twisted and legitimately scary at points. This book is a “keep the lights” on kind of read.
🔪The Dark Corners of the Night by Meg Gardiner | Blackstone Publishing
- A gritty, gruesome serial-killer thriller that knocked my tits right off.
🔪Undead Girl Gang by Lily Anderson | Razorbill
- A spooky YA novel that won’t make you roll your eyes, it’s literally got everything. From zombie girls to boy troubles, a spectrum of representation and twisty twists – what more could you need?
🔪American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century by Maureen Callahan| Viking
- A true crime case that is detailed, passionate and absorbing in it’s fucked-upness, featuring a serial killer without name recognition.
🔪Good Girls Lie by J.T. Ellison | Mira Books
- This is a clever and taut thriller that makes up for its occasional predictability with engaging characters, quick pacing and real-to-life dialogue. One of my favourite reads of 2020.
🔪Lock Every Door by Riley Sager | Dutton Books
- A compulsively readable and suspenseful book thanks to Sager’s masterful grasp of prose and setting creation.
