THE MOST DARK & DISTURBING BOOKS I'VE EVER READ | thriller book recommendations 2024

[@Cozyfarmae]

There’s something about how you explain the synopsis that makes me want to read the books. I just finished Unmissing and now I am reading Brother. All my thriller tbr books are from all your recommendations!

[@haileyhughes]

I agree !!!!!!

[@susancockerill8108]

You are the best Hailey. I’m a 71 year old woman but man I just love your recs

[@SoCrazyInLove13]

Every thriller book gets added to my TBR & the list is REALLY long! Love it ❤

[@DanaBobek]

You nailed it on The Last Housewife. I read a ton of books but that one...disturbed me, angered me, repelled me, shocked me, unglued me - yet I'm still glad I read it.

[@haileyhughes]

thisssss ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@GuiltyNoticer]

"wannabe victim so bad" fantasy.

[@HaileyAnnReads]

I looooovvveeedddd The Last Housewife. The writing. The plot. The atmosphere. SO good. Jar of Hearts was willldddddd. I will never forget that scene while she was in prison. Saving Noah is one of my favorite books of all time. I was crying, screaming, and throwing up!!!

[@haileyhughes]

twinning with more than just our names 👯💖

[@susanspisak65]

Fierce Kingdom has been one of my most favorite reads since you recommended it in the past!!!! Enjoy all of your videos !!!!

[@haileyhughes]

thank you susan!! i’m so glad

[@rchan09]

Thank you for the recommendation for "Saving Noah" that was the most emotionally palpable and challenging read to date. I another had such conflicting feelings. I could feel and even hold the mother's love for her son and the pain of the son even though the act was heinous. Truly incredible.

[@sarahmccarthy5781]

Saving Noah needed to be written, and it needed to be written with the knowledge, care and compassion that Lucinda Berry is known for. One of my favorite books of all time, that I read at your recommendation!

[@haileyhughes]

YES! ❤️ so happy it resonated with you too

[@srivaishnavikalidindi3908]

No one beats you in thriller book recommendations 🧡

[@blakemack2877]

I relate so much to your interests and your reviews of books, because I am also a mental health therapist who enjoys the thrillers, horrors, and dark material😂 Typically immediately add your recs to my TBR😂 (and have read three of the books on this list lol)

[@haileyhughes]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ my people!! thanks for watching🥹

[@momariereads]

I made a whole playlist on my Libby and kindle app, and Goodreads for all of these!! Keeeeep them coming babe! ❤

[@fionakayknits]

Love your recs. I would just add that people who struggle with S.I. should steer clear of Saving Noah (or approach with caution). I have struggled with S.I. previously and it was a hard read from that aspect.

[@tatummceuen1295]

Thank you for saying this! I have severe OCD and this can be so triggering for that.

[@RegginaldRiglet]

When you’ve finished jar of hearts and you’re forever looking for the next book to replace that void.. going to try some of these recs of yours

[@rainybluereads]

I bought fierce kingdom and take it back years ago because of your rec lol and I still need to get to them!

[@rainybluereads]

Also YES saving Noah is a phenomenal read

[@haileyhughes]

lemme see em in a vlog 👀 haileyween…

[@zobookish]

I really enjoyed Next of Kin by Kia Abdullah. She seems like an extremely intelligent, compassionate writer

[@haileyhughes]

she is a gem 🩵

[@loragalloway9169]

Thank you, I've yet to be disappointed with any recommendations you've given thus far !! I appreciate you :)

[@abedraslan7314]

I would recomend perfect days,its similar to you but it's more distruping and darker

[@Taylorwintz]

I love that book. The ending shook me

[@haileyhughes]

omg this is on my tbr!! just moved up, thx 🩷

[@ladybugggggy]

Oh my god, Three hours was SO GOOD. It was one of these books that stayed with me for years, and I constantly recommend it.

[@AliciaAnnReads]

I’m watching this video so I can know what not to accidentally put on my TBR! I’m so glad I saw the Ashley Winstead book. Maybe I’ll look up triggers. I’m such a chicken. I can barely handle Freida McFadden’s and Riley Sager’s books.

[@L0.razepam]

I am an absolute Ashley Winstead supporter. Like what an icon, a literary hot girl of our time.

[@haileyhughes]

100%!!

[@RegginaldRiglet]

Perfect time for this to drop for me. Also, have we ever gotten your favorite books with multiple Povs?

[@haileyhughes]

most of the books i rate 5 stars are multiple pov!

[@jakesbug]

Agreed that The Last Housewife is her best book thus far! Loved it.

[@silverboomer]

Presently reading Blindsighted. I picked it up after Sara Linton''s character was part of the 3rd book in the Will Trent series. Someday I'll get thru all the books in those 2 series. She is so good.

[@haileyhughes]

all hail queen karin 👑

[@charliescozycorner]

I really need to take break from the dark books 😂 but I won’t because your recs are too good

[@CarolinaS7]

Do you have to pay to join the book club? I see it’s on Patreon, but all videos are hidden with free membership… do you also have to pay to view the lives?

[@haileyhughes]

@@CarolinaS7 yes it’s a paid service!

[@xxuiob]

Can anyone tell me were can I read voyeur cuz I can't find it no where online.😢

[@YummyGummy77]

I can't find voyeur on audible...is there other places that have it as an audiobook?? Yeah I can't find either of the JF Gonzalez books on audio 😢

[@haileyhughes]

unfortunately the author passed before any of his work was published on audio. i believe his estate is working on re-releasing his work for a modern audience!

[@YummyGummy77]

Oh okay ..I guess I could just get the actual books​@@haileyhughes

[@mariah9776]

Voyeur and Survivor were sooooo good, but yes very dark!

[@MattMilu]

I can’t wait to read “Jar of Hearts”!!

[@esliet]

Excellent recommendations

[@YummyGummy77]

Hailey have u read all 7 books in the Grant county series??

[@haileyhughes]

i am about 10% into the last book 😭 it’s taking me forever to read bc i don’t want it to end!

[@YummyGummy77]

@@haileyhughes 😂 I know the feeling. I can only find the title of the first six .. what's the title of the last one

[@haileyhughes]

@@YummyGummy77 beyond reach!

​@@haileyhughesGirl.... Prepare yourself

[@heatheroakes8987]

Just saying hi...catching up after vacation !

[@Waywardwindfall]

OMG I’m a suicide counselor. I am going to read One of our own right now.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Oo yes, loved allegedly!!

[@barbaralemon4170]

I read The Soulmate. Beware of do-gooders! Ha! Loved it!

[@Lillyandthelibrary]

Oof I can’t watch someone who might even kind of lean sympathetic towards pdf files. YIKES. Thoughts or actions, they’re both gross please don’t try to justify that and invalidate those that have suffered. ✌️

[@haileyhughes]

just a reminder- you don’t know what i’ve been through or anything about the work i do. i have empathy for all people, especially those who are afflicted with intrusive thoughts (usually DUE TO ABUSE) that they NEVER act on. it tortures them daily. if you actually listened to what i said, i specifically differentiate between p*d0ph!les & those who suffer from paraphilic thoughts. jesus, some people will always stigmatize mental health.

[@tinac273]

do you have any summer slasher recs? maybe summer camp horror books? 🩷

[@haileyhughes]

i have a video on this coming soon!! 🥰 read my mind hahaha

[@tinac273]

again hahah😂😂 looking forward to it! 😍

[@syrritajones2538]

Oooo Hailey! This was a good one! Luckily, I get paid this week. Lol ❤️🫶🏾📚 Also, have you read Within These Walls by Ania Ahlborn?

[@haileyhughes]

i have it but haven’t read it yet 👀 sounds like i need to hehehe

[@syrritajones2538]

@@haileyhughes Yes, YOU DO. Lol. It’s creepy af so far. I’m about 40% in. The fact that I loved Brother is what prompted me to read this one.
