Theyāre off-limits and guaranteed to cause problems, but somehow still feel oh so right. These romances are full of secrecy, longing, and love that was never supposed to happen.

I'm not a big thriller reader. The few I've read, I have been just ok. I'm looking for something to really grab my attention. Has anyone got some recs for Nordic thrillers?

3.5 āļø I think I might need to accept that this author isn't for me. I thought the actual story and ideas were interesting and he did a good job of building tension and atmosphere. The way he made the town go from idyllic to sinister was effective and there were some great plot twists.
However, I'm not a fan of Crouch's writing style and the way he wrote some of his female characters were kinda gross, for example the passage going on about how gorgeous Beverly (the bartender) was for her age and how much of knockout she would've been when she was in her 20s. She was 34! Several years younger than the protagonist Ethan I might add. The way he was going on you'd think she was an old crone or something. Or describing the hotel receptionist Lisa as "cute, though a little on the heavy side".
While it was a solid read, I'm simply not invested enough to finish the trilogy so I'm going to leave it here. I might watch the TV adaptation if I can find it anywhere.

What a great first chapter. Amina is such a great character and I love the humour. I also like how the author is starting to build up the world. World-building is a very important thing in fantasy, and Shannon Chakraborty does it so well.
