My Top 10 Favourite Mystery, Thriller & Dark Academia Books 📚

if you're a fan of something like Bunny by Mona Aad which is sort of a bonus recommendation here i did already talk about it in my horror favorites video but if you like Bunny by Mona Aad I think you'll like Catherine House by Elizabeth Thomas they have very similar vibes and the vibes are immaculate

i thought this was the perfect amount of weird it has a very hazy dreamlike quality to it which is something I just love in the books I read

i remember just being so pulled in so engaged immersed from beginning to end heart pumping exciting a fun time

i thought this was fantastic it absolutely blew me away i think it's beautifully written again that sense of place the atmosphere is fantastic

i tried reading Flights by the same author and I couldn't quite get through it but I was listening to the audio book from my library so I think I might need to switch to a physical copy or an ebook

i also loved how dark this book was how unsettling it was it really has such a tense atmosphere and you really don't know who to trust when one of these college students is found dead

it was so much fun i definitely made even more fun by reading it as a group and all trying to theorize and solve it together but I had a great time with this one

i found both the science really interesting such a fascinating concept to explore but I also just felt the pacing was perfectly delivered and I was along for the ride and it was very intense

i love this i really love this book i know lots of people are not a fan and I would say if you're not someone who is fascinated by really complex well-developed unlikable morally bankrupt characters you might not enjoy this cuz there's really no one to root for but I found it fascinating

i remember reading these around the same time i enjoyed both of them for completely different reasons

i really loved this one i had so much fun with it again a super immersive engaging experience

i enjoyed the protagonists the detectives quite a bit in this story i found them very complex and maybe morally gray at times or not totally likable they felt very realistic but I still was rooting for them

i just found it absolutely fascinating to follow the development of their relationship it went in directions that I did not expect from the beginning
