Exploring Derek’s Dark Story in the Consumed Trilogy

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

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:
