Hey,

You guys can post your recs here and also ask for recs.


Mujhe thriller recs chahiye. Gimme all your 5 star reads.

Hit me up with murder mysteries, crime thrillers, or thrillers in general— but no horror, please! ❌

When it comes to romance, I love rom-coms, totally angsty ones of course, and romantic suspense.

Have you tried Catharine Cowles for Rom-suspense? She writes small town mostly and they're good, they tend to get formulaic after a while but still - decent reads.

Crime thrillers: I would recommend Jennifer Hillier. I've read The Butcher, Jar of Hearts and Wonderland by her and they were all good. Don't know if you're okay with thrillers that make you queasy though - hers definitely do!

Rock, paper, scissors by Alice Feeney

Kill for me, Kill for you by Steve Cavanaugh (I'll recommend this every time!)

Perfect Strangers by J.T. Geissenger was sooo twisty.

Lol, my reaction is the same!

But yeah, those authors are good. Robin Cook too for medical thrillers. I haven't read his later ones. Daniel Silva, John Grisham and Dan Brown are quite good too.

For thriller recs read the Jonathan Grave series by John Gilstrap. Damn good series and once you start a book it's hard to put down. I recommended it to Mrina recently as well.

They're very simple and straightforward. Kind of like a Mission Impossible or Top Gun storyline - mostly obvious and you know the villains pretty early on - but it's a page turner because of the action and writing. You can actually see it play out in your head.

I finished the first two books of the Jonathan Grave series. I loved it so far.😎

Do they have to be read in order? I see there are a few books available in my library but not sure if it’s the first in the series
