Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this very old NetGalley request today. I have no idea why I might have requested this as it is really not "my bag" but I'll give it a go!

5🌟/5🌟

It's rare that I give a thriller 5 stars... but this book was so good!! This was my first book by this author... and it definitely won't be my last. If you haven't read this yet... I highly recommend it.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Another wild-ride thriller followed up with a bonus epilogue! This was definitely a unique, interesting and disturbing story and not what I was expecting but, in a good way!😱

This one is a YA mystery rooted in online fan culture and oh my Lord...! I've only ever dipped my toes into fandom but even with my limited experience, there is so much about this story that rings scarily, hilariously true. I didn't love the resolution but the journey was a quick and wild ride. Recommended in spite of the implausible coincidences and deep need to suspend disbelief; it's a lot of fun anyway, and you'll get just what you came for.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Loved this thriller followed up by a short story about one of the characters after! So intense and scary to think about this happening!😱

Up next: Gray After Dark. I read Ask for Andrea at the recommendation of Freida McFadden herself and loved it! This one had similar reviews 😎🙂

Megan Lally‘s most popular book, That‘s not my name, was just okay to me. I‘m glad I tried her again. I liked this book a lot more. You can see who is probably the driving force but the ending is chef‘s kiss for the story.

The pacing of Panic is a little strange, in that there are two “climaxes” with a protracted trial briefly described in between. Even so, it‘s a solid Australian crime thriller that nails the cognitive dissonance of sovereign citizen nutjobs. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/panic-catherine-jinks/
