If you hadn't guessed already, I've been reading quite a bit of McFadden recently. As I state in most of my reviews, this isn't because I'm the biggest fan (not to suggest I'm not a fan either) but simply because I know exactly what I'm getting when I read a McFadden book - relatively short, simple and fast-paced. And whenever I picked up a McFadden this is exactly what I want. The Teacher is no different in this aspect but I would argue is one of my preferred books from her.

Freida McFadden has quickly become an author whose audiobooks I have all ready to be sent to me when ready via my Libby app and whose books always seem to scratch a little itch I have for something easy and fast-paced. The Coworker is certainly both of these but also struggles along the way. This article contains affiliate links.

Freida McFadden is becoming one of those authors whose books I go to whenever I need something lighter and easier to read. After finishing A Little Life one of the longest, most depressing books I've ever read, picking up The Inmate was exactly what I needed. But, is it a good book in its own right too?

Never Lie is now my fifth Freida McFadden book, but only my second that wasn't in the Housemaid series. Therefore, I'm really starting to get a feel of the formula that McFadden likes to go with and decide for myself if i'm going to continue with her future books (I have others sitting on my TBR shelf).

The Housemaid series is without a doubt one of the most popular thriller series out there. If you ever check the top-selling books on the Amazon Kindle store, one of the first two Housemaid books will inevitably be on there. So when The Housemaid is Watching was announced and I saw that it was going to be coming out in paperback on launch day, I pre-ordered it in almost every form you could (audiobook, kindle and paperback). And here are my thoughts... Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Continuing on with my recent obsession with thrillers, I asked on my TikTok who the next thriller author I should try next is and many came back and said John Marrs. So I dropped Marrs a quick DM on Instagram telling him such and asking him where he thinks I should start with his books. He very kindly sent me The Stranger in Her House to read. And it's a great little thriller. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

I've read some Lisa Jewell before, and I've been impressed by her books before. However, none of her books have quite engrossed me like None Of This Is True did. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm on a big thriller hype at the moment or whether it genuinely was that gripping but I came away from None Of This Is True wanting to physically applaud, it was that enjoyable!

I decided recently to do a challenge over on my YouTube where I wanted to read books that authors recommended to me. Lisa Jewell recommended Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant as the best thriller she's ever read so this is the most recent book I've read and I'll be giving you my thoughts on it.
