BTW I tried reading that popular Verity book, couldn't continue past 50 pages. It's just unbearable style of writing. Not my cup of tea.

Not a CoHo fan I see. I didn't mind Verity, though her book Layla was absolutely bonkers. That book made me look at the movie Ghost in a completely different way.

I just remembered that I've read another one of her books and that one I liked - It ends with us. 😄 I have to see what Layla is about for sure. Gonna check it on goodreads. Do you have any other favorite thrillers?

Finally finished Book 5 of Karl Ove's My Struggle. This book took me longest to read (I didn't have much free time), but it's the best one so far. I would put it right there on top with Book 2.

So far my ranking is...

1. Book 5 - 5+/5

2. Book 2 - 5/5

3. Book 1 - 4.5/5

4. Book 4 - 4.25/5

5. Book 3 - 4/5

A few thrillers I've enjoyed over the years.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware (more gothic mystery)

The Good Sister & Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth (Two separate books)

Lock Every Door & The Last Time I lied by Riley Sager (Two separate books)

If you want a truly intense gothic novel/s.. read the following:

Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews

My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews (if you can handle FITA, read this one).
