PLEASE drop your recs!! This is a work in progress and I'm not an expert, just upset that i couldnt find any preexisting pagebound lists highlighting indie books by Black authors

Criteria: 110 or fewer ratings on Pagebound and generally 3.7 or above rating on other platforms but 3.5 and 3.6 allowed if material seems intriguing. This is a list for books that are lesser known on Pagebound, but they might be more well known off-site.

A curated reading list dedicated to heart-pounding, plot-twisting thrillers by Black authors. From psychological suspense to cult conspiracies and jaw-dropping endings, this club celebrates bold storytelling, complex characters, and the kind of books that keep you reading “just one more chapter” at 2 a.m.
