Can someone please suggest me books that are thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat? I feel like I haven’t really read any page-turners recently and a lot of thrillers end up being too predictable. I feel myself slipping into a reading slump 😩

I also am someone who wants to love thrillers but I struggle to find ones I really like!
The Between by Tananarive Due is one of the best thriller(ish) books I’ve ever read, and is probably one of my favorite books I’ve read in the last few years period. It is SO well done. The story and the basic premise of the book is so haunting that even though there aren’t any major twists or turns, I literally couldn’t put it down.
I also thought both Local Woman Missing and The Drowning Woman were surprisingly good. I enjoyed them both and didnt feel like their twists were particularly predictable. The Push was also very very good but is a pretty slow burn.
I also would cautiously recommend Riley Sager’s books to you if you’re looking for fast reads that always have twists. I say “cautiously recommend” because the twists are, at least for me, typically a little (a lot) too much, and the twist goes from almost believable to truly insane in a matter of pages. If I were going to recommend you read one of them, I’d suggest The Last Time I Lied or Home Before Dark – both of them are good stories and their twists are the most grounded (IMO).
