Thrilling Short Story Review: A Must-Read from Amazon First Reads

Posted on 17th May 202518th Nov 2025 by Letty Reads

I downloaded this book because it was the bonus read for May’s Amazon First Reads, I didn’t know if I would ever read it but it was free so I downloaded it.

I have previously read the Housemaid Series by Freida McFadden and I enjoyed book 1 and 2, book 3 not as much but I wasn’t blown away by them enough to think about picking another one of her books up, I have some on my shelf but these were purchased before I read the Housemaid Series. Don’t get me wrong she isn’t a bad writer at all, just quite predictable I feel, but like I said I haven’t read any other books by her.

I had just finished a thriller that I didn’t enjoy and thought why not give this a try it’s only 79 pages.

Booktok Group Reads: Our Thriller Experience

I Don’t Like Mondays by Maria Frankland

There’s a bit of a story behind how this book got chosen, so bear with me. Me and a group of friends who all met through booktok, have a WhatsApp group where we talk about books and also lots of other stuff, but it centres around books. Each month, we decide to do a group read. This month, we each picked a genre and put it in a spinny wheel, as we usually chose a Dark Romance read and wanted something different. These were the genres up for grabs: Thriller, Gothic Horror, Rom Com, Romantasy (this was my genre), Cowboy Romance and Erotic Horror.

Thriller was the genre that the wheel chose, and then we each had to put forward a thriller book to go into another wheel. These were the choices:

The Ilya Trilogy Review: Love, Loss, and Resilience

Posted on 17th May 202518th Nov 2025 by Letty Reads

My review of Fearless by Lauren Roberts.

I started this book on the 1st May and finished it on the 4th May. I was originally scared to read this book, which I know sounds stupid, it’s just a book, but I fell in love with Kai and Paedyn, and the end of Reckless had me scared for what was to come next for them. I also didn’t want my time in Ilya to end.

I, however, jumped in with both feet, and it felt so good to be back in Ilya, even if I knew it was my last trip. I know many people didn’t love Powerless, but I did, and I love the direction Lauren took the trilogy. I cried at the end of Powerless, and yes, it doesn’t take much to make me cry, but still, I did. I also did the tandem read of Powerless and Powerful, and I would personally say that is the best way to read them. If you want the details of the tandem, read. I have a picture you can download. I used it as a bookmark.
