looking for a thriller? Read sharp object by Gillian Flynn- love love this book southern gothic story. trying to find out who killed a little girl and finding out the killer is actually closer than you think!
Looking for a relatable read? Read Everyone in this room will someday be dead by Emily Austin - just finished this book about a woman who finds herself fixated on dying and death of those around her and herself. She also find herself an Atheist in a Catholic church being offered a job which she accepts. This book might not be relatable with you but it was with me. I know when I was younger I would think about death all the time and just being terrified by the unknown and not knowing when something could happen to someone you love.
Looking for a great series and get better by each and every book? Read the shadow and bone series with six of crows by Leigh Bardugo. I won’t lie I read this series WAY out of order. I read six of crows then crooked kingdom following up with king of scars and rule of wolves. then reading the first trilogy. But I just loved the duopoly of king of scars and rule of wolves it was so magical falling back in with characters I knew from the past books.

Gerald’s Game by Stephen King — his scariest book (for me) and the ending still haunts me. 10/10, big content warnings. It by him is also really great, tis 1000 pages though.
The Island by Adrian McKinty is a fabulous murder thriller that actually had my heart racing.
Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild is not Scary per se, but really well written. The narrator is a murderer accused of a murder she didn’t commit!
Kill for Love by Laura Picklesimer is not scary, but plenty of gore.

It’s a cozy murder mystery!
There are five books in the series. I read some of them last fall when I was pregnant and didn’t want to be reading anything too scary. Looks like more have been released that I’ll need to read!
