Best Horror & Thrillers Published in 2025

I thought the writing was very well done. Particularly the character work just felt like the author wasn't just going through the motions of writing one of these fast action plots that typically is something you'd see more in movies and instead this one felt really fleshed out and thought about.

I love almost all of her books and this is definitely one I would add to that pile.

It hit me at the right time. I'm actually someone who likes the idea of witchy fiction a lot more than I actually tend to enjoy it in execution, but this one was the exception there.

So again, my placement of this book in this video is largely based off the fact that this has become a huge comfort series for me, one that I'm addicted to. I fly through the books every time they come out, and I'm already dying for the next installment.

It is one that I think has just fantastic character work. The writing is really nice. It's relatively short and sweet and very much a tight story with some really good plotting and it's got a little bit of a sappic leaning to it.

It was relatively short to read, which I think worked in its favor. And I just had a really good time with it.

I was watching the news and feeling quite helpless to do anything about the things that were affecting you know family and friends when it comes to jobs and policies and so forth and this book just hit at the right time.

This book was highly emotional for me to read.
