I really like the fact that you don't spoil and tell reviews in a way that is vague enough but still gives info on what the book is about. A lot of book reviewers are not able to do this well.
I really loved One Perfect Couple too. It was so well done!
Ahhhh I’m so glad to hear the new Ruth Ware was a good one! I’ve been debating if I want to read this one after having so many misses with that author but I think you just convinced me to give it a shot 😍👏
Yay I hope you enjoy it if you pick it up!! And if you don’t enjoy it I’ll pretend this interaction never happened 😂🙈
To answer your question about Karin Slaughter's detective books, yes- they are series but can kinda be read as stand alones. There are minor spoilers for earlier books in later ones. Grant county is her first series, theres six books in that one.. will trent is her second series, number 13 is coming out in a few weeks. There are carryover characters from grant county in will trent.
I have LOVED all her books, i definitely think if you've liked her stand alones and are interested in detective thrillers, hers are a solid choice!
Stranded by Sarah Goodwin is a 5 star read. Reality TV and survival story. One of the best I’ve read in a long time.
I recently read Everyone is Watching by Heather Gudenkauf. It is about a new reality TV show that has 5 seemingly unconnected contestants competing for ten million dollars. I am also an avid reality tv watcher! I really enjoyed it!
Love the creativity!
I’m not the biggest Ruth Ware fan but this video made want to check out One Perfect Couple! I read Turn of the Key and was underwhelmed…
I've been passing on the last few Ruth Ware books, but it sounds like this one is a winner! For reality TV book recs, one just came on my radar called Honeycomb by S.B. Caves. It sounds really good!
Oooh that one sounds really interesting - adding to my TBR, thanks!
Just picked up One Perfect Couple from the library! Can’t wait! You got me excited
the family experiment, john marrs 🙂
Might be kind of an obvious choice, but when I think of a reality tv/survival mash-up, I think Hunger Games. I've been wanting to re-read that lately. I also just read One Perfect Couple and really liked it. It was maybe a bit more... straightforward? than I was hoping or expecting, but I can't deny that I was captivated and couldn't put it down. 4⭐
Everyone is Watching by Heather Gudenkaf has this as well!
I’ve heard such good things about one perfect couple!!
Okay the transitions are actually perfect. Very on theme for a reality show!
I'm 42% into Game of Lies, I'm really loving it as well! I will have to pick up One Perfect Couple as well.
I added both of them to my TBR. Stranded by Sarah Goodwin is a decent survival thriller 🏝
Enjoyed the Ware as well, love survival stories also! Just reserved the D C Morgan books at the library and can't wait to give them a try.
Hope you enjoy them!
I always love your review. I ordered one perfect couple and If I like it, I will try a game of lies since I trust your rating :)
really enjoyed this video - especially because you made such a great point about what makes a book a favorite. i think when i pick up a thriller, i'm always thinking i need to read the "new hot thing" with a completely unheard of premise. in reality, as long as the plot is interesting and the author can keep me on my toes, it's STILL a good book! and i'd love some recs on the lesser known mystery/detective/police books you've read. there are so many of them on kindle unlimited that it's hard to choose sometimes!
ALSO! I think you'd really like the blake & byron thrillers series by zoe sharp. it's on KU and audiobooks are available on libby/hoopla etc.
You've watched Twin Peaks right?? It was the first one I thought of when you mentioned well-known small town detective stories.
Would love to get your list of detective TV shows cuz I enjoy em too and it's been a while since I watched a good one. Also The Golden Spoon is a cozy mystery book that has British bakeoff vibes and I had a good time with it even though the ending wasn't surprising. Would recommend it for a fun time though.
I’m hoping to get more into women thriller authors like Ruth ware, Lisa jewell, Mary kubica, Alice feeney. I’ve never heard of Clare mackintosh but reading some of her synopses, her books sound good!
I read another by that author. I enjoyed it. I would like to read the book you described.
Have you read The Switch House by Tim Meyer? It's only 200 pages, so it's not a huge commitment. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
So glad you liked it! I thought you would but it feels good to know it was worth recommending 😀 Have you read Everyone is Watching by Heather Gudenkauf? It’s another new thriller with a reality show element.
@@crystaldanker8031 I would check out that book.
Have you read The Last One by Will Dean? It was a twisty, fun ride! It also made me furious at a few points.
I DNFed it and looked up spoilers 😬 I might check out his next book though!
So Last Party is read first,then Game of Lies
Yes!
I read I Let You Go by that author. Did you read that one?
