Sorry I have neglected you so much, Bluesky. I genuinely forget you exist 90% of the time. Please forgive me xxx ANYWAY, has anyone read this? A fabulous revenge thriller from the one and only Jackie Kabler. It's twisty, suspenseful and SO full of drama. Let me know if you plan on picking it up! 🩷

This book was WILD! 🤯 Dark, twisted and intense - I inhaled it! I was mesmerised by Lizzy’s gorgeous writing as well as a toxic world of a cult-like wellness group striving for perfection. Fascinating, gripping and unpredictable. An easy 5⭐️! @bylizzybarber.bsky.social @daturabooks.bsky.social

The Cliffhanger is such a triumph of a thriller, a real edge-of-your-seat, atmospheric, all-consuming read you won’t be able to put down! It's flawlessly written and completely unpredictable. I already know it’s one of my books of the year! 😍 @emilyfreud.bsky.social

Cuckoo has been marketed as a "messed up thriller" and I can confirm it! It’s a clever, twisted, complex novel exploring a deep obsession, a love so strong + a dark, haunting truth hidden beneath the lies. Intense, brilliantly paced and completely thrilling! @callieuntitled.bsky.social #BookSky

Life Number Nine is SO much more than a love story. It’s the thought-provoking journey of two imperfect beings. It’s about the meaning of soulmates. It’s about the fascinating idea that what if we’ve met each other before, in different lifetimes? ❤️ Loved it! #BookSky💙📚

Jeeeeez! My first read of 2025 was incredible! 😲👏 An intense, atmospheric novel about 81 y/o Maggie who meets her match in the form of 8 y/o Otto. It’s an uncontrollable game of cat and mouse, where revenge slowly gets more horrific until it spirals into something nightmarish... 😈 LOVED! #BookSky
