This Should Be a Book Review

I know I am due for another review, and I have started SO MANY new books lately, but nothing is catching my attention. I am in a real thriller/horror slump. I can’t even get into something enough to feel like I could give it a DNF. It’s more like a did not start. Ugh. I’m pretty sure it’s not even really the books’ faults.

I’ve been going through my TBR pile and many I had totally forgotten about. I know I’m not in the mood for a police/detective/PI character right now, so those are out. I’ve tried two domestic suspense novels, both ended up being present tense—something I do not like—so I put those down.

I’ve got one now that I’m about 8% in and maybe, just maybe, I’ll stick with it long enough to have something useful to share with you. I am 100% open to recs. Tell me your most un-putdownable read: old, new, I don’t care. I need to get sucked back into SOMETHING! Like I said above, no cops (as MCs, side characters are fine) and no present tense. 1st or 3rd person are both fine. Single or multi POV. Thriller, suspense, horror...all good. Although if it’s horror, I prefer ghosts to slashers, but if it’s good, that’s not a hard and fast rule. I’d even be down for some YA dystopia, as long as it’s light on the sci-fi.

Tell me what you love! I know I need to get back to it, because reading slumps are often followed by writing slumps for me, and I have things I need to get done.
