Hello Everyone,
For those of you who follow my book videos on YouTube, you'll already know how much I love a good Psychological Thriller / Crime novel but I also know that in the Book Blogger and Book Tuber community, this genre is often missed out, for those of you who would like to dip your toes into an exciting, adrenaline fueled read or to those of you who are already converts but would like more recommendations?
I've got your back.
So obviously I'm about to plug my YouTube video because, you know, followers and that but for those of you who want to read rather than watch I'll list the books below, if you watch though you'll be treated to my witty bantz and more in depth discussion.
So here's the video or scroll down for the text.
The Books:
Gone Girl : Gone Girl may seem a bit of an obvious choice, everyone and their cats, dogs, chickens and nans were talking about this book, I came late to the party but wow, what a party! This has everything you'd want, mystery, adrenaline, punchy dialogue and shock factor. If you've already seen the movie don't be put off - the book is way way WAY better. Give it a go, you won't be sorry.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo : As another popular movie adaptation, there's a good chance you've watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo but as usual, the book offers so much more, I was hooked. Be warned, this is a more meaty read but definitely worth the effort.
Stranger Child : Rachel Abbott has become one of my favourite authors, her UK based crime thriller novels are outstanding, Stranger Child is no exception, one of the best books I've read this year and if you're looking for a book that'll keep you up past your bedtime because you just have to read one more chapter, then this is the book for you.
The Husband's Secret : The Husband's Secret was a major surprise to me, I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. If you're looking for a story set in the heart of suburbia with a twist you just don't see coming then this little treasure will be just what you need.
Just What Kind of Mother Are You : Wow, just wow! Set against the idyllic backdrop of the Lake District is a story that'll shake you to your core, a stressed out Mum of three is supposed to be watching her friend's daughter but, in a terrible twist of fate, she forgets about the girl and the girl goes missing.
Panic, blame, dread and a creepy predator make this book an unmissable read.
So there we have it, 5 excellent novels to sink your teeth into this summer, have you read any of them?
