    I loved Verity and I'm team letter. Based on her name "Verity" which means "truth". I don't think the author would have chosen this unique name if it didn't mean something important.

    Just found your channel today and immediately subscribed. I read lots of thrillers and murder mysteries - been reading for over 20 years. I found your reviews to be very informative and interesting, and as a result have included a bunch of books you covered in various reviews on my Kindle Unlimited list. Haven't been exposed to the psychological thriller genre before today and am excited to read a number of your recommendations. Might report back after sampling 5 or 6 of them and by the way congratulations on your many followers.

    Funny story..... I have a friend that tends to like the same books as I do ( so i thought) she told me not to bother with Verity but then i started hearing a few others talking about it so I grabbed it and ended up loving it. A Flicker in the Dark was phenomenal, Maidens was so good i picked up The Silent Patient and couldn't stand it. I have the Push on hold at my library.

  • @sarah2053
    @sarah2053 Před rokem +1

    Team manuscript, but i think that may be because Lowen resonated with me... being that 30s woman who doesnt quite feel like a woman yet, dealing with loss and anxiety and lack of confidence in herself and her work. I was pulling for her the whole book and am not ready to fathom that she may have been in the wrong.

  • @bluegumbo6014

    Hi Ashley you should try Donato Carrisi's books. He is the king of psychological thriller and every time you think you understood something he changes everything. Even if now I know his style of writing, I still cannot figure out the end of his books, every single time I'm WTF 🤯! I hope you will try and enjoy !

I also love one of his last but I don't find it in english, the title translate from italien could be The house of voices, it's brillant! I really hope you'll love and maybe I will know your thoughts in a month's wrap up. 😉

And then a question at the end with a rise of voice at the end... when there is no question. So, my first sentence would be "Can't listennnnn to this teen sounding voooooice?" She's still going onnnnn.
