Thanks a lot for compiling this list! I'm new to reading fiction so this is really helpful. Also really appreciate including the 'trigger warning database' - there's certain subjects that I just can't deal with reading about, so this is very helpful!
💛The all-time favorite plot twists video is a great idea, looking forward to it! I don't have an all-time favorite thriller; I've only just started reading thrillers this year. I just finished Lock Every Door and it was a fine read. I've got Home Before Dark in my TBR pile beside me now, judging from the many rave reviews, I won't be disappointed... but Riley will have to wait b/c Kealan Patrick Burke's writing style has totally derailed my reading goals for the year. Now, I'm as rabid about his writing style as you are about Riley's; I bought Sour Candy on a whim, it would be a short read, it would ease me into the horror-fiction genre-and I loved it. I'm about halfway through KIN, it's awesome as well; I'll be reading KPB to the exclusion of all other authors. Was this too much? My bad, I guess I'm in commenting mood this afternoon. Loved this post, have a great weekend.

I still need to read Gone Girl, it was a DNF for me, but I loved Sharp Objects and Dark Places. The intro to Stillhouse Lake was so good (I can vouch for the series) and just thinking of the audiobook of You still gives me chills. Those are probably my adult picks and then The Diviners series holds the top spot for YA.💛

💛 So many good books, some of which I have ready to read on my Kindle. I actually rented Pretty Girls from my library right when I started getting into adult thrillers but I didn't end up reading it because of people saying it was 'too much' 🤣 but now I am much more at home with these types of books I will give it a chance. It's good to see you enjoyed Survive The Night because I read it a few weeks back and loved it yet so many people dislike it. Thanks for all the recommendations Sav. I look forward to seeing all the new thrillers you will read and hopefully love in 2022
