Mother, Mother by Koren Zalickas
This hidden gem features a bit of everything: mystery, mental illness, dysfunctional families, addiction, running away. It keeps you thinking, totally unable to put it down for even a second, right until the very end.
Before We Met by Lucie Whitehouse
For those new to the world of thrillers, this is a good starting point. A short, easy read but still compelling and packed with questions. You might see the twist coming, but then again you might not.
The Masked Truth by Kelley Armstrong
A young adult thriller perfect for fans of fiction that tackles mental health. Just when you think you've figured it all out, the truth is revealed and you're left questioning everything, wondering how things could have reached that point.
I'd be interested in The Masked Truth! I love mental health contemporaries, so it would be interesting to see a different genre tackle the issue!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely pick it up! It's WAY better than any mental health contemporary I've read because it feels so much more realistic and well researched.
DeleteHave you read Shutter Island????? Man I love that book.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't even know it was a book! I do want to watch the film though.
DeleteI saw it when it came out @ the cinema (a lifetime ago!) I blame Leonardo DiCaprio for a good 5% of the books I end up reading.
DeleteAnd: irljgioetjhnktm,n;'t;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHUTTER ISLAND IS THE BOOK THAT TURNED ME INTO A DENNIS LEHANE JUNKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's freaky as all hell though :) (which is clearly a good thing ;P )
I am a huge fan of thrillers, so I'll definitely have to give these a try. Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous post! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you enjoy these if you do decide to give them a go :)
