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.
