    I had read The arrangement, They never learn, Confessions and Insomnia! I loved They never learn, but I'd figured out the twist even before I started reading the book 😂 but it was a really great experience cause I felt emotionally connected to the story! I liked confessions as well, and about insomnia, I wanted it to end in a different way (still liked it though) and I wrote a short story inspired by Insomnia lol... Omg my comment is too long!

    I am right there with you. I do not like books with "plot twist" that I can figure out what is going to happen 25% into the book. Appreciate the recommendations. Behind Her Eyes though....definitely top tier when it comes to plot twist. I will add Insomnia to my list to read.

    I read a lot of thrillers and also have a true crime channel so I usually see the plot twist a mile away. The book that kept me guessing until the end was Hidden Pictures by Jason Renulak. I can't recommend this book enough! It hasn't gotten a lot of attention yet but it's a must read!

    Everyone needs to read The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by
    Stuart Turton, I just finished it and it is one of the most gripping books I have ever read the journey it takes you on is interesting and exciting I literally could not sleep until I finished it and the ending is great it has a plot twist at the end that I did not see coming at all and the audiobook is great

  • @teddytodorova
    @teddytodorova Рік тому +2

    Behind Her Eyes and Confessions are one of my most favourite thrillers. Everybody said that the first chapter of confessions was mindblowing and it certainly was! My jaws dropped. The movie is also well done 1:1 with the book, but I still reccomend the book first.
    I just yesterday finished Insomnia. I liked the paranormal stuff, but the book was extremely repetitive and the main character unlikable.
    I was eager to read They never learned, it was so recommended with huge plot twist. And this in fact is my fav plot twist, because somehow it catches me every single time, but NO, not this time, I saw this coming litteraly in the very beginning. I DNF-ed it at the middle. I didn't like it at all.
    I ddin't bond with Whos Maud Dixon (also very recommended). I saw it coming, been there seen that lol.
    Have you read "Wrong place, wrong time"? It started slow for me, but it escalated and I didn't see anything coming at all. Love it!

    The Kind Worth Killing (Peter Swanson) has a solid twist. Also, I'm not sure if The End Of Her (Shari Lapena) has a twist or if it's more of general wtf. And the ultimate twisty classic is Rebecca (Daphne du Maurier).

I want to share with you about one book: "KAYAN KOLLYN- The spiral of the Ellmott & messenger of the secret." a great fiction of adventure, mystery, ART, an ancient CRAFFARTT, and science. once you read it, you definitely love it, because it speaks about all dimensions of life, without the barrier of the beliefs and social divisions.
