Maria Haro opinions??

[@tigerxgirl6784]

*Spoilers!!* FIrst, I personally thought the book was so slow and repetitive. Yeah I get why it technically was but it seems inbetween the days the main character went there and the days repeat it felt like it was a filler to an anime. Which I HATE. Like move on to the plot please. Second, the pacing didn't do it for me. First, it was interesting then once he went to the island it got boring and fell flat. (As stated from above.) Then the ending was just meh. It wasn't memorable or anything to All I remember was he went on a ship or a boat and sailed off and that's it. Third, I still think it is weird he is in love with his grandpa's EX. Like What? The book had an interesting plot but I expected something more from the book and something different. Wasn't what I thought it would be. I wouldn't say I hate it but I don't believe the hype of it. I gave it 2 stars. 💁

Mystery Thriller recommendation? I got you Jesse. Here Lies Daniel Tate by Christin Terrill is about a boy posing a another families missing child. It has everything. Family values, murder, violence, romantic elements and more. A great intro to the teen thriller genre. I also recommend The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Conney. In this book a teenage girl discovers that she is the missing child on a milk carton. This book is older but it has aged well. 10/10 recommend.

Thanks for the library shoutout Jesse. Really love it when youtubers encourage this :) I've only read the last one you mentioned. I can see your points and only slightly agree with them. Also, fun fact. That story was going to be a trilogy but ended up being cut down to a duology since plot things got pretty much resolved by then. The third book would have been unnecessary.

Gilliam Flynn and Ruth Ware are where it’s at for thriller. Also Verity by Colleen Hoover and Mud Vein by Tarryn Fisher. Thriller doesn’t always pay off.. so that’s something to note about the genre. It will often leave you wondering.

[@yunamchill9169]

A very captivating series of mystery thriller books are the works of Stieg Larsson, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There's quite a bit of exposition until halfway through the first book, so you just have to battle through it, but the latter part is chockful of mystery and action, way better. I'm also new to the genre, but that series hooked me. Talking about hooked, yesterday I finished Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor in a day, it was literally glued to my hands!😍 It's so good!

[@alhur1918]

I suggest a mystery thriller manga to read known as Uriah. It’s on WEBTOON . However, it’s quite gorey. Currently, it has 32 issues, and it’s on hiatus, so it’s the perfect time for you to join the hype train.

I read all rights reserved too but I put it away 50 pages before the end (and finished it half a year later) because they just kept adding problems and it never seemed to get any better or at least any way out.

I agree with you about The Price Guide to the Occult. I was SO disappointed by it. It was one of my most anticipated books when it first came out, but once I read it I was very let down.

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn it was perfect for me to see if i would like her writing style! Its like 90 pages! I highly recommend it was very good!

[@ayeletarmon686]

A thriller I really liked is The Broken Girls by Simone St. James. It takes place across two timelines. The first is in the 1950s at a girls boarding school where four room mates get to know each other, become friends, and then one goes missing. The second takes place in 2014 where someone wants to buy the boarding school and a reporter is doing a piece about it. The only reason she's doing this piece, however, is because 20 years earlier her sister's body was found on the school lot and she wants answers. I though this book was really fascinating and I couldn't put it down. On the other hand, it's the only thriller I've ever read so it might be filled with clichés and I just didn't know any better. But I thought it was really good. :)

[@Emmryrose]

I would recommend Here Lies Daniel Tate, its great and has a really good twist at the end, and lots of surprise reveals as well.

[@kaitlinr9735]

Total get what you mean about the prologue being better then the book. There's a series called Beyonders (by Brandon Mull) and the prologue of the first book is a m a z i n g. Like the writing style is just brilliant and I was real enjoying the pov of the character. However the rest of the book and the main character just wasn't as amazing (though I did enjoy it)
