Recs if you like The Family Upstairs...

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed “changed their life.” Proceed with caution.

A silly little collection of a trend I've noticed recently, usually among thrillers. Some of these probably have alternate covers as well, but I'm including them because I've seen one which fits. Suggestions welcome! Simply ask yourself: Is house blue? Is window yellow?

If you’re here, like me you might be tired of basically seeing the same plots and storylines over and over. This is a list of ones I’ve enjoyed that are all (mostly) different from each other*. Main thing in common might be the author.

Thrillers and horror books with a family setting. This list focuses on relationships between siblings, parent and child etc.

sometimes the secrets buried under family relationships and everyday routines are unearthed and it goes poorly for everyone involved

The writing and storyline are amazing, and just the way they take you to another dimension and help elevate your daydreams. Even if say, you have read these books and they were not your taste, I’m sure you can agree the writing itself and descriptions were very high quality. Also, it is a mix of different genres.

Everyone is hiding something, everyone has secrets, and I trust absolutely no one. 👀

These are books I'm reading with other people in a Discord book server.

Soooo these are a few thrillers, that for some you may not find scary butt they are considered thrillers and will mess you up a little.…. I’ve contained books that have: Ghosts, cults, wards, mysteries, investigations and 🔪
