Recs if you like The Last Word...

no matter what happens, there will be books with neon-text-on-a-dark-background covers and they will be thrillers.

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 💕

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?

Love a good creepy haunted house book? Includes multiple genres: Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Sci-fi, speculative, etc.

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