The psychological thriller recommendation that I have is Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. This book was one I couldn't put down and the ending really surprised me. There is also a show based off of the book on Netflix and I felt like it was really well done I LOVE horror but I'm not sure if I have a recommendation yet for what you're looking for. But I'll keep looking ❤ 🐦🗡

Have you ever considered the author Brian Lumley? He wrote the Necroscope series. It's a great long and intricate horror. A must read and a fresh take on supernatural powers. If you are into sequential books this is one of the greats. A long series, but intelligent and detailed with great character development. If you decide to read/listen to it I would love to know what you think of one of my favorite authors. If magical fantasy is more your taste I also enjoyed the cold fire trilogy by C.S. Friedman. She is just wonderful! 🐣🔪
