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⭐️!

It's gorgeous, isn't it?! 🤩

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! 😍

I really enjoyed Jeremy Vine's brand new book, Murder On Line One - a brilliantly plotted, wonderfully layered whodunnit, filled with a quirky cast of characters and an intriguing mystery to solve. Bravo, Jez! 👏

Out now! Thank you @harpercollins.bsky.social for my proof! 🫶

My favourite read in April was Into The Fire by @gdwrightwrites.bsky.social. Some of you may know that Gary is really ill in hospital, so please keep him in your thoughts, and maybe consider pre-ordering Into The Fire, out 5th June. It is INCREDIBLE 🧡 Get well soon, Gaz!

A stack of books read in April. From top to bottom; Fever of Unknown Origin, Into The Fire, The Spy Coast, Sweet Fury.

Well @gdwrightwrites.bsky.social has done it again! Another gut-wrenching, absorbing, completely addictive second novel to rival his debut of 2024! 👏

A tense, captivating, tightly-plotted crime drama with emotion and feeling tucked into every corner. SO brilliant! Out 5th June, don't miss it! 🔥🧡

As expected, this book was bloody GREAT! A fantastic feminist revenge thriller. It’s funny, dark and twisted, and you will LOVE Sally! 🍸

Thrilling, clever and addictive. Perfect for fans of Dexter! 🩸

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!

My first @tmloganauthor.bsky.social book and WOW 🤯 Really am kicking myself for not picking up his books sooner!

The Daughter is one of those books where putting it down or taking a break actually feels painful. Pacy, gripping and all-consuming.

A fantastic thriller! Out 27th Feb! #BookSky
