I've only welled up at one book in my life, and that was also Karin Slaughter - Pretty Girls. And the scene I welled up at was between 2 sisters, who have a very complicated relationship. Karin Slaughter writes sisterhood and sisterly relationships in a masterful way.
I enjoyed The It Girl and The Turn of the Key. I have The Push on my TBR. I'll have to read it this autumn if I can squeeze it in, haha. Just added No Exit and Tangerine to my list of books to read ☺
Oh they made No Exit into a movie! I didn’t know it was a book… as you were describing it, I thought, “wait this sounds familiar”. It’s not bad, check it out :) Thanks for the video! I binge on thriller reads once it hits Sept :)
It was terrible in my opinion. They could have done something so much better with it. The actress who plays Darby was good, but they shortened the story in a way that just didn't work for me. Sad.
@@beej13yeah movies generally don’t live up to the book, but since I never read the book, I only watched through the lens of a horror/thriller movie buff 😊 thought it was decent! (But also wasn’t expecting much)
@@juju1981 yeah, i think it was ok from that pov, but if you read the book you can see how badly they adapted it. I was sad bc it's one of my favorite thrillers and i was super excited to watch the movie.
The it girls plot reminded me of Dark places. Is the atmosphere also similar? I'm loving Dark places BTW haven't swallowed a book this quickly in a long time.
I own the books The Chestnut Man and The Good daughter. I was planning to read the Chestnut Man last year in December but did not, read The Whisper Man instead, so maybe this year I will see about reading it in December. I loved The It Girl, The Final Girls was my first Riley Sager book too. I loved The Turn of the Key and it is my favorite Ruth Ware book.
I like the way you reviewed the books without giving too much away but i font quite understand why you said there are no mystery elements in them. I believe they do have mystery elements in them. I read one book only feom both Karin slaughter and Ruth ware. I thibk it was Pretty Girls and the death of Mrs westerley. Stories are good but just didnt like them because they are too wordy. I think the authors went a bit overboard with describing the characters' emotions, thought and action processes too much. That is why Karin slaughter books are so thick. Nah for me. Alice feeny books are good. I read a few and i like them. Infact i am reading Daisy Darker now. I read the latest book from taylor adams. Cant remember the name but not sure why i didnt finish it. Maybe i didnt like the style of writing but i might pick it up again. Riley sager has few good books. I read all except survive the night. But doht read last night i lied. I couldnt wait to get through the book. Boring. The mystery just didnt grip me. Read his "lock every door', home before dark and the only one left. Those are the good ones. I difnt quite like final girls too.
I will read the books you suggested, except Ruth Ware, she's too soft and basic. I prefer Karin Slaughter and Gillian Flynn, something dark and shocking.

Thanks for the inspiration darling!!!

Omg!!! You mentioned The Chestnut Man🥺🥺 I LOVED THAT BOOK. IT WAS MY FIRST CRIME THRILLER NOVEL❤❤
We have some of those style reststops in Alberta. Have food or a huge topographical map.
I can't wait for part two! :D i always leave your videos with a bunch of new books to add to my TBR 😁
Yay, thank you! Part two will be coming sooooon!!
I was so looking forward to this video! Thanks, April! Excited to watch part 2 soon!
You won't have long to wait! I'll probably put it out next week!!
@@GettingHyggeWithIt woohoo!!🎉🎉🎉
Ahhh a few of my faves are on this list so I can already tell we have the same taste!! Immediately adding to TBR the ones I haven't read!
Yay!! I'm glad we like the same kinds of reads.
I enjoyed The It Girl and The Turn of the Key. I have The Push on my TBR. I'll have to read it this autumn if I can squeeze it in, haha. Just added No Exit and Tangerine to my list of books to read ☺
Oh I hope you love The Push as much as I did!!
@@GettingHyggeWithIt Thank you ☺
Did you enjoy the ending?
The Good Daughter is also one of the very rare thrillers that made me cry 😢 but I also loved it ❤
Great video. Recommended a few I still haven't read. Looking forward to your next video. I should say my tbr list is.
Woohoo! It'll be coming soon!
I also loved "The good daughter", I also tear up midway through and in the end :(.. i still think about that book so that must mean something..
Oh they made No Exit into a movie! I didn’t know it was a book… as you were describing it, I thought, “wait this sounds familiar”.
It’s not bad, check it out :)

I love Tangerine! 5 star rating for sure!
I loved the Push!
Yes! It was so gripping!!
The it girls plot reminded me of Dark places. Is the atmosphere also similar? I'm loving Dark places BTW haven't swallowed a book this quickly in a long time.
I don't find them similar really. At least not in atmosphere. Dark Places had a gritty atmosphere. It girl takes place at a really swanky college.
@@GettingHyggeWithIt Aw, I was hoping it'd be more similar. Thanks for the reply, I'll check the other recs.
I love I’m Thinking of Ending Things and I’m always looking for another book along the same lines. Any suggestions?
Oh my word! Nothing’s quite the same! I will say his other book Foe does the magic that only Ian Reid can do!
@@GettingHyggeWithIt Looooved Foe!
Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽
Any time!
Cool list. ?Will find part 2 at some point.

I hope you enjoy Chestnut Man! It's not got much of a cozy vibe because it's a lot of death, death and more death lol but it's still a good read!
nice work ❤
Saw no exit the movie, the book was way better
Tangerine is one of my top 10 of all time I think
OH isn't it amazing! I still think about it!

Oh yes I see what you mean! They all have mystery elements! What I meant is they aren’t like an Agatha Christie book. You know?
Should have waited… 11-16 …. All time favorites
Oh yay! YOu've loved some of these books too? Wonderful!
The IT GIRL's ending was so disappointing. FYI The story turns into an unbelievable action movie. Crazy.
I will read the books you suggested, except Ruth Ware, she's too soft and basic. I prefer Karin Slaughter and Gillian Flynn, something dark and shocking.
You can’t go wrong with Flynn or slaughter!!!
