Top 5 Thriller Books

It’s pretty well established my level of scare ability is pretty high! I can’t read Stephen King or anyone like him. But, these 5️⃣ books made my heart race and I couldn’t put them down 😲 so they made my list of thrilling and chilling reads!

Pretty Girls – Karin Slaughter

Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.
 
More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that’s cruelly ripped open when Claire’s husband is killed.

You – Caroline Kepnes

When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card. 

There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting. 

Dark Matter – Blake Crouch

“Are you happy with your life?” 
  
Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious. 
  
Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. 
  
Before a man Jason’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.”  

Best Day Ever – Kaira Rouda

THE PERFECT MARRIAGE IS THE PERFECT ILLUSION. 

Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys and a big house in a wealthy suburb. And he’s the perfect husband: breadwinner, protector, provider. That’s why he’s planned a romantic weekend for his wife, Mia, at their lake house, just the two of them. And he’s promised today will be the best day ever. 

Her Darkest Nightmare – Brenda Novak

Evelyn Talbot knows that a psychopath can look perfectly normal. She was only sixteen when her own boyfriend Jasper imprisoned and tortured her―and left her for dead. Now an eminent psychiatrist who specializes in the criminal mind, Evelyn is the force behind Hanover House, a maximum-security facility located in a small Alaskan town. Her job puts her at odds with Sergeant Amarok, who is convinced that Hanover is a threat to his community…even as his attraction to beautiful Evelyn threatens to tear his world apart.
