Thriller Books You Need to Read This Fall 🤯🔪 [Thriller Book Recommendations part 14]

Another thriller that I loved and I really struggled to put this book down is Count My Lies. This is another one that I literally tore through this entire thing in like one afternoon because I could not put this book down. I thought the writing was so addicting.

Oh my god, this book had no right being this good. I think this book would definitely take the cake for like the thriller that I tore through the fastest this year.

I just think in my opinion that this is this author's best book. Like I don't know if she's going to top this one for me because of how much I loved it.

I mean, I will admit I wish the whole like dream thing ended up playing a bigger part in the story because I do think it's a really interesting setup and then like that aspect of the story just like never really went anywhere interesting for me. But this book does have a lot of things in the plot that I was like wo like okay I didn't see it going in that direction and that's what really hooked me into this story and why I ended up liking it so much.

There was just this nostalgic feel to the writing where I just instantly felt drawn into the story and I instantly connected with all the characters.

Like this is still my favorite thriller that I've read in the year of 2025.

And I think that's what made this book such a standout for me, you know, because as somebody who reads a lot of thrillers, I've read so many books with that exact premise, but this one was so unique and so interesting. And there were actually scenes that were so creepy that like I got goosebumps.

The reason why I rated this one a little bit lower is because the ending of this book just wasn't very satisfying for me. Like I do think the story really starts to like fizzle out in the last 100 pages. But I still think this would be something that I would want to recommend because I think this book had really great atmosphere.

Like I actually gave one of her more recent books one star and I haven't really loved anything from this author ever since reading My Lovely Wife, which is definitely like one of my top favorites from her.

I actually loved the fact that we were following a few different point of views in this book and I think it made the pacing feel like it was really fast and the chapters were short and it was just so engaging.

Oh, this book was just so interesting. I just really enjoyed all of these characters. And I feel like because I cared so much about these siblings, it really elevated my experience while reading this book.

Another thriller that I read this year that I absolutely loved was Too Old for This by Samantha Downing.

I did end up only giving this one three and a half stars. And the only reason why I didn't rate it any higher is because I do think the ending was like a little bit predictable or like I just wanted a little bit more to be happening at the very end.

But I think for the most part, this book has so many layers. It has really interesting characters and it was so atmospheric.
