The Many By: Nathan Field Mini Review

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a free ebook copy of The Many By: Nathan Field in exchange for an honest review. 

Short Review Summary: 

Excellent psychological thriller with a touch of horror. 

The Many started off strong and I was immediately drawn into the story. I have to say that this thriller is not quite what I expected, but in a good way! There are a few surprises that made this one different from other thrillers and I definitely enjoyed that. One thing that surprised me is how dark The Many is! A few parts are pretty creepy and twisted. The book did lose a little bit of traction around the middle and it started to drag on. Luckily, this didn't last too long and it picked back up again. The ending is especially fast paced and intriguing. I wish the end had been explored even more, but hey I wouldn't say no to a sequel.

#AFewSuprisesAreAlwaysAppreciated

Overall The Many is an intoxicating thriller with twists and some excellent creepy parts. I would personally have to classify this one as thriller with a touch of horror due to some dark/violent parts. I really enjoyed this one, despite the short lull in the middle. I also love that I genuinely had no clue where the story was going to go. A psychological thriller with a fresh and unique take is always great in my opinion.

#CreepyTwistedDark

I recommend The Many for fans of False Memory (Dean Koontz), You (Caroline Kepnes), and American Horror Story.

S is for Stranger By: Louise Stone ARC Review

Thank you to NetGalley and Carina UK for providing an ebook copy in exchange for an honest review! 

I have been extremely in the mood for thrillers lately (watch out for more thriller novel reviews soon!) and when I saw S is for Stranger I had to request it from NetGalley. I actually saw this book on Twitter somewhere first and then NetGalley. The STUNNING cover drew me to it right away and I'm so glad I requested it! 

#CoverLove

If you have followed my blog for a while then you may know that I love thrillers with unreliable narrators. That's just what we have here in S is for Stranger and this book sure is a mindf***! Sophie is definitely unreliable and throughout the novel I wasn't sure where the twists and turns would go. This book is remarkably fast-paced and suspenseful. I read all but a few pages of it in one day. 

#UnreliableNarratorAlert

Another thing I really enjoy in thrillers is the missing child cliche. Yes, I know some people hate cliches, but this is a good one!! I love it because a missing child adds a lot of tension to a thriller and Amy missing certainly did add a lot of suspense here. Also, Paul is a bit of an unreliable (he was also unlikeable) character himself and that really kicked the suspense up a notch too! On the cover it says, "A Gripping Psychological Thriller" and that's exactly what I got with this book.

#ThickTension

Overall I really enjoyed S is for Stranger.  This is a great one to read all in one day on a lazy Saturday or Sunday. I just had to keep reading to see what would happen and I loved the ending. Are you wondering yet why I didn't give this book 5 stars? Well to be honest it wasn't the most unique thriller. It wasn't overly predictable either, but I don't know if a year from now if it is different enough to be memorable for me. This is a super enjoyable read though and the intense suspense makes it worth a read! I can't wait to read more by Louise Stone. 

#EnjoyableButNotTheMostUnique

I recommend S is for Stranger to all psychological thriller lovers and more specifically for fans of Remember Mia by Alexandra Burt, 14 Days to Die By: A.B. Whelan, and (sorry I am going to add these even though we are all tired of books being compared to them lol) Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train of course.
