    🩸The way you talk about Kill for Me Kill For You has me really intrigued to pick that one up at some point!
    Several of these I think lean into things my husband Jake tastes (especially the ones about messed up parent/child relationships) so I've directed him to this video! 😂
    So glad to hear that you enjoyed The September House since that is our September Thrill, Chill or Kill book club pick! 😊
    I wonder if the GR ratings/reviews about Eric LaRocca's book have anything to do with his behaviour towards reviewers? I have heard some rumblings about him being a jerk at times from other booktubers if they had criticism about his work but I don't know much in the way of details. 😅

    • @onceuponabookishsteph

      YESSS we know Jake and I have similar tastes so i hope some of these work for him!
      OMG give me all the tea, i have not heard this about Eric LaRocca, but that is so interesting,,, now i am very curious
      Ooouuu great book club pick! so excited for you guys to read it 💕

    I keep meaning to try something from Rachel Harrison, I'm going to have to get to that soon. Catriona Ward writes such intricate stories, I love her. I plan on reading the Shuddering this winter. Maeve Fly is the November pick for my book club so I can't wait to get to it!

    Hey! Just came across your channel (:
    Awesome recommendations! I have a friend who recently read “These Silent Woods” and she said it was pretty good! I’m looking forward to picking that one up.
    I’m also excited to read Looking Glass Sound. I read “Last House on Needless Street” by Catriona Ward this year, and I thought it was a great psychological thriller! Definitely intrigued to read more books by her.
    Super cool channel. Just subscribed 😎
