  4. It feels like it has been too long since I read a good thriller! You know that new Riley Sager’s on my list for the summer!

  5. I am a big fan of thrillers, and I enjoyed Final Girls by Riley Sager, so I definitely want to check out Middle of the Night. On the other hand, I read The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley and I’m almost done with The Guest List, but the books aren’t for me so I’ll pass on The Midnight Feast. However, I do want to read The Housemaid series!

  8. All these sound so thrilling! I’m not sure I’m up for this genre though. It might keep me up all night. Lol!

  10. I don’t read many thrillers, because they tend to scare me, but even so, these titles and synopses do sound fascinating, especially ‘Such a bad influence’. I feel like these books would make great films too!

    • They definitely would be great films, in fact Blake Lively is set to lead ‘We Used to Live Here’ which will be on Netflix soon! Thank you for reading Sophie!

  11. I have not read any thriller novels for quite a long time. I need to get back to reading thriller novels again. The third, fourth, and fifth book sounds awesome. I’ll check them out. Thank you for sharing.
