[@ReadingWithEve]

This is honestly required reading/watching for any thriller fans, so detailed and so many authors I've not even tried yet, brilliant work! *takes extensive notes*

[@shirayuki6551]

omg please do a guide to horror authors next, absolutely loved this!!!

[@MoonlightBookReader]

Now... how did you know I was in need of increasing my thrillers TBR? 😋😋 Thanks for yet another awesome video and the amazing recommendations!

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

This was absolutely incredible! Thank you for taking the time to put it together. It was extensive and very helpful. ❤

[@stephanierenee7655]

This is such a great video! It's obvious you put a lot of time and effort into it and it is great to have all the recs in one video. Definitely saving this for times I need thriller recs!

[@Element9846]

I haven't even gotten through your introduction yet and I can already tell this video is going to be great for me. Thank you for making this. Please do a video like this for Horror also, if you enjoy those types of books

[@trishee7625]

I’m so on board with your opinion about Peter Swanson. Absolutely did NOT get the hype other book-tubers gave his books. The Kind Worth Killing was boring, predictable, and after reading it, I never wanted to read anything else written by him. Also agree about Freida McFadden. This video was spot on in every way! Riley Sager…the first one I read by him, Final Girls, had me hooked. Haven’t missed one of his books. Same for Gillian Flynn and Jennifer Hillier. This was a terrific video. Thanks for doing it!

[@anushkasaha5685]

Omg I feel so seen. I do NOT understand the hype around TKWK. It was honestly so incredibly boring, didn’t have a great ending and left nothing left for us to guess. No idea why it’s considered the holy grail of thrillers.

[@baileyadkins4800]

The cellar by Natasha was the start of my love for thrillers & psychology!

[@casey012]

great idea Hailey!!! Got my snacks ready!

[@britalyson7180]

Wow this is amazing! Such a great idea Hailey. Definitely just added a ton to my tbr!

[@annaliavalentine5752]

Gillian Flynn is my favorite writer of all time. I connect with her writing and characters more than any other author i’ve read from. For months I have been trying to find an author similar to her writing style and nothing even comes close. 😂 Also 1 hr video we love it🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@roshnik8250]

What’s your favorite Gillian Flynn book other than Gone Girl?

[@annaliavalentine5752]

@@roshnik8250 Sharp Objects is my all time favorite

[@strugglingbookaholic1245]

This is amazing!! ❤️ It’s so helpful to have all of this info in one place

[@carolinaperezramirez1786]

My favorite video by you so far!!! Thanks for the effort you put into making this video for us. ❤

[@kirhughes-md6zo]

What an awesome resource! I have to rewatch and take notes. Just finished The Good Sister and agree wholeheartedly. Love you! 🥰

[@hospitalfood6621]

The Last Word 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Love it! I love the book too but when that person started harassing you, I immediately thought of you. So freaking unbelievable 😔We love you Hailey❤ I always look forward to your videos. 👍👍👍

[@mattiepartlow7334]

Thank u so much for this list! I took down some new authors to try. November-february is peak thriller season for me.

[@cherylNA]

This was so comprehensive, thank you!

[@emilycraig9356]

I'm so obsessed with your vids!🫶

[@tylermorris9550]

RILEY SAGER AND KARIN SLAUGHTER--YES! 🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤ Sorry to comment AGAIN, but those are also two of my ALL TIME favorites! They are both IMMEDIATE must haves.

[@alwaysreading]

your reviews are always so entertaining

[@hannahjohnson9008]

I LOVED this video! Thank you so much for all these recommendations

[@anastasiabychkova2103]

Great list! I’d also add to it Sarah Alderson. I think she makes solid thrillers which are fun and twisty. I loved Cabin in the Woods, the Stalker and Friends like These from her

[@blakemack2877]

I am overwhelmed in the best way possible

[@brittlee6544]

52:45 I am SO glad you finally made it there. I was waiting.. and waiting… I loveeeeeee Riley Sager!

[@L0.razepam]

This is epic! Let me make a snack so I can watch 😂

[@brittlee6544]

57:21 it’s insane you brought up this book. I read this probably 6 years ago or close to it & when I say, it’s stuck with me but I couldn’t remember what it was called or who it was by. I think of it often! And you just told me!

[@dessertcomes1st]

Listened to this vid while flipping back and forth to Goodreads, checking out the authors' books. My TBR is dying haha. Thank you Hailey for this list.

[@veronicaprovencal9811]

Can't wait for Ashley Audrains' next book!!! Hopefully one in 2024!!😊

[@pattytrophia370]

I just read Eyeshot by Taylor Adams which was soooo good. It keeps you in such a nervous state you want to jump ahead to see what happens. So good

[@erinmaggio5620]

I loved Taylor Adam's books. Read a few of books. Want to read Eyeshot. Loved No Exit and another book from last year.

[@connorfindlay-priest3704]

Agreed re. John Marrs. The only domestic one I ate up was What Lies Between Us. Still shooketh to this day.

[@doloresofcourse]

Sitting here going PREACH to just about every author and book you mentioned. That CJ Tudor book The Drift was a hard one star for me.

[@toastnuances]

hahaha your comments on Taylor Adams’s The Last Word.. WOOF. glad you seem to be doing okay, queen 🤪

[@gloriaf4015]

Y’all you really have to read Kia Abdullah. Her Next of Kin was amazing and Truth be Told is on my TBR list!

[@SharniandBooks]

Loved this! I’ve got sally hepworth on my tbr so I hope I enjoy the books from a fellow Aussie 🥰 Still trying to find my thriller reading taste, but I read the last word after everything that happened and yep that was spot on haha

[@carliii8]

Love this so much, Hailey!

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

I totally agree with you on RUTH WARE what a great and amazing video love it prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤

[@charliescozycorner]

Yesssss!! This is such a helpful video 💗💗i really enjoyed two of Lisa Jewell’s work and I had a really good interaction with her on Instagram, deffo will pick up more

[@jpkclkelly]

I think you’d really enjoy the book, the strange Sally diamond, it gives off the good sister vibes

[@tylermorris9550]

Those Girls by Chevy Stevens is REALLY good! It's gotta few trigger warnings but SO GOOD!

[@ajimzhao7502]

you should include Loreth Anne White

[@maceyfalls9773]

loved this video!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love Chevy stevens 🥹

[@levispinks2458]

So much fun!!!!

[@brittlee6544]

33:09 who I was waiting for… CANNOT STANDDDDD HER!

[@hospitalfood6621]

Alex Michaelides is fabulous. I do love Ruth Ware too. ❤

[@BookItWriteFinesse]

This was a really good video

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

I agree with you on most of these but I have to disagree with your take on CJ Tudor. To each his/her own! As long as people are reading, the world is good. 🤗📚

[@heatheroakes8987]

Awesome video !!!

[@creativewithjia]

Wow, I had no idea about the things with Frieda. Only read The Housemaids books cause nothing else has felt appealing, so I'm kind of over that author anyway. Great video and perfect with ideas now that I want to break off my fantasy romance era with a dark twisted thriller.

[@Mustaphaiqbal]

Thanks for insight on Liane Moriarity style and pace. I may give it a pass.

[@Mustaphaiqbal]

Did I miss Jessica knoll or she was not included in this video ?

[@marleyd.3003]

In BA Paris’ new book The Guest they use the wrong name in the book too. Who is proofreading her stuff???

[@meljstephan]

I sent read Freida McFadden not even because of any plagiarism but because I've absolutely hated the 2 books I've read from her.

[@shirahime31]

I've only read one from Riley Sager and I don't intend to read anything else from him. His book Lock Every Door is copied off of a Japanese TV series called Ouroboros.

[@roshnik8250]

20:55 timestamp

[@parisbooks7481]

I had no idea about Ms.Frieda...I'm gonna have to do some more research on this because if it's true I surely cannot support it.

[@RociosLibrary]

I also HATED The Drift. So many people were raving about it and it was awful lol

[@rebecadacosta3836]

I enjoyed The Housemaid books by Freida McFadden but hated the other two books I read by her, especially One by One. 🤮 I also didn’t know about the allegations you mentioned in the video.

[@erinlchapman61925]

What a great video!!!!! So smart and well thought out I love it. I have to say the only thing I disagree with is Samantha Downey's He Started It. It's a 5 star!!! And I kind of love Janelle Brown 😊 And absolutely hate May Cobb bc she has like idk pedophilia vibes which is gross and no one ever talks about 😬🤷🏽‍♀️ I can't wait to try your therapist recommended books by Lucinda Berry and The Golden Couple which I can't believe I've slept on for this long

[@renee1292]

Great video!! I love to discover new authors. McFadden is such a hoax. No good writer can produce so many books so fast. I read one and hated her lazy writing. I tried a second but couldn't get through it.

[@brittlee6544]

26:27 I HATED that book. 💀

[@Messy_mila]

The alleged plagiarism and lazy writing is why I refuse to read Freida McFadden. I also don't understand the hype.
