Thriller about a trio of girl who call themselves " the final girls " and were survivors each of gruesome murder rampages. Liked it because of the suspense but didn't like that they seem to carry the moniker "the final girls" as a badge of honor per se and some parts were implausible. good overall.Thriller about a trio of girl who call themselves " the final girls " and were survivors each of gruesome murder rampages.

Thriller about a woman trapped in a zoo with her son and an unforeseen horror occurs. The novel is about survival and the primal instincts of a mother's love. Not enough for me here, just indiscriminate mayhem.

Thriller about a two girls who experience a traumatic event in their young lives and how that follows them into the present day when another tragedy occurs in a schools where one girls who is now a woman, visits. Too much explaining events and harping on the traumatic events and not enough action for me in this story. Came out of it disappointed even though it got good reviews.

Uninteresting story of mother shielding herself and two children from a former husband serial killer. No real plot twists here, just the same paranoid feeling throughout. Don't waste your time.

This leads to her questioning her marriage. What other lies might he have told? , and her quest to figure it out. Nice easy read, lots of implausible scenarios and a summary ending.

Mystery about a teenager found murdered in a rural town and a sheriff determined to find the killer. Not much of a detective story here, but the story keeps your attention; although I found it too predictable. Also, being a city guy, I found it preachy with the country stuff.

Romantic thriller about a woman who develops a relationship with a married man and his wife and the trouble that ensues. The story keeps you engrossed all the way until the end, until it dissolves into somewhat of a supernatural exercise, takes over, becomes it's theme, and ends in an outlandish way. Engrossing and a page turner, but ending leaves you flat.Romantic thriller about a woman who develops a relationship with a married man and his wife and the trouble that ensues.

Psychological thriller and mystery of two "broken" women told in alternating time periods (then and now), who look alike in appearance and who go through the experience of renting a place with many restrictions and their resulting shared experience with the owner . The story for them strings along a common thread but with the "now" woman having the knowledge of events of the owner and his past relationship with "then" woman. I like the fact that was a psychological drama (my favorite genre) and kept me engrossed, but thought the ending lacked a little bit of a "punch". Nice back and forth between the time period which keep you on your toes though.Psychological thriller and mystery of two "broken" women told in alternating time periods (then and now), who look alike in appearance and who go through the experience of renting a place with many restrictions and their resulting shared experience…

Entertaining family drama written in the third person about a wife, husband and detective trying to figure the apparent abduction of the couples newborn. Jealousy, greed, and loyalty abound here between the couple, their family and friends. Easy read; more of a mystery than a thriller that leaves you wondering who the good guys and bad guy are. Good throughout with a twists at the end but not much of a "punch" or "jolt" to the reader. Sort of fizzles at the end. Recommend though for it's fluid and entertaining plot.Entertaining family drama written in the third person about a wife, husband and detective trying to figure the apparent abduction of the couples newborn.

Thriller about an foster child and her crime-enforcement foster family and their attempts to solve a crime that may involve the brother of the foster child. Could the two children's harrowing experience involving their biological parents relate to the present day rampage and murders of the boy's current foster family be related. Secrets of their past are revealed. A little bit too unbelievable having the girl essentially be involved in helping to solve the crime. I could of done without that and the entire explanation of the whole story in the last two pages.

Story about about a sleepwalker who winds up missing and the efforts of her two daughters and a detective to find her. This story is about certain forms of somnambulism, one being the insatiable desire for sex while asleep and how it can be inherited - ( I know just a little bit hard to believe for a premise for a story). From there, secrets, forbidden desires and lies pervade the story. For me, the story has too many holes: too slow a pace, undeveloped secondary characters ( they seem like they were just added in as fillers with no real depth), and an ending that was hashed at it seems, at the last second to satisfy the reader. The one thing I can think of that it has in its favor is that it is well written. Other than that, I couldn't recommend; it was a waste of time (for me at least).Story about about a sleepwalker who winds up missing and the efforts of her two daughters and a detective to find her.

Psychological, metaphysical and macabre tale about a "seemingly" insecure woman going to new boyfriend's family home to meet his parents. The title gives you an idea of what to expect: is she thinking of ending things with her boyfriend or ending her life? The story feels like there is always a feeling of dread of what's to come; introspection of what it really feels like to be lonely and; awareness that things including "life" are constantly being created and recreated. The ending has a fine twist that puts everything together and leaves you thinking of the choice the character made.Psychological, metaphysical and macabre tale about a "seemingly" insecure woman going to new boyfriend's family home to meet his parents.

Intricate mystery thriller about a an former army combat pilot trying to come to terms with her actions on the battlefield in her tour in the middle-east and the apparent death of her husband (she thinks) when she finds out his murder is somehow tied to the past death of her sister. As she struggles to put the pieces together and cope with her own demons, we are left wondering who do we really can we really trust. Intricate plot, lots of action (you can see she comes from a military background), great characters, and nice turn at the end.
