It feels like just yesterday I was planning my first seasonal to be read of the year and now suddenly it’s autumn. We all know that autumn is my favourite season and it’s actually become my favourite time of year for reading. For me autumn is all about thrillers and witchy books, which I absolutely love.
Good Girls Die First by Kathryn Foxfield
This is a very recent purchase and it’s pretty unheard of for me to instant read a new book. However, this has Autumn written all over it. Well, it’s a thriller which is basically the same thing to me.
Also, this is fairly short which is exactly what I need at the moment. I’m trying to juggle reading enough for daily posts, reading ARCs on time and finishing twelve festive ARCs by December.
Synopsis: Mind games. Murder. Mayhem. How far would you go to survive the night?
Blackmail lures sixteen-year-old Ava to the derelict carnival on Portgrave Pier. She is one of ten teenagers, all with secrets they intend to protect whatever the cost. When fog and magic swallow the pier, the group find themselves cut off from the real world and from their morals. As the teenagers turn on each other, Ava will have to face up to the secret that brought her to the pier and decide how far she’s willing to go to survive.
Someone Is Watching You by Tess James-Mackey
This one is not only a thriller but also a debut. It’s set in an abandoned prison, which is a great setting for a thriller/horror. I’m honestly so excited to check this out, I’ve already bought a second book from this author. Hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me.
Synopsis: An abandoned prison. A deadly game. How far would you go for a dare?
Nia would do anything to win the approval of her boyfriend Scott and his friends, especially mean girl Olivia. When Olivia dares Nia to explore an abandoned prison, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to prove herself. Facing dark tunnels, distant noises and creepy mementoes left behind by incarcerated criminals will surely all be worth it.
But it isn’t long before Nia and her little sister, Kayla, find themselves trapped inside. And then Kayla vanishes.
Suddenly, this feels like more than a game gone wrong. Someone is hellbent on making Nia and Kayla the prison’s last inmates …
