Hate by Tate James
The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. That neon green and pink against the black just spoke to me. I had seen that my friends on TikTok had read the series, and I trusted their views. When I saw the set at a good price, I had to pick them up.
Hate is the first book in the four-book Madison Kate series. It is followed by Liar, Fake, and Kate. I believe these are reverse harem.
Obsession by Harleigh Beck
Obsession is a book which focuses on Robbie, an inmate on death row convicted of killing multiple women and Savannah, a journalist who Robbie requested to interview him before he is given the lethal injection. Savannah is drawn to Robbie despite his being a notorious killer and being the same age as her dad. Robbie is likewise drawn to Savannah and will stop at nothing to have her. This is a dark thriller romance which contains graphic sexual scenes and graphic violence, check the trigger warnings.
Rule number one: Don’t fall for the sob story.
Consumed Triolgy by Brooklyn Cross
At the end of 2024 I asked 12 friends to each recommend me a book, as I wanted to partake in the 12 friends, 12 months, 12 books challenge that I saw on TikTok but I wanted to not just create a post, I wanted to add it to my book journal and read one of the books each month.
My beautiful friend Corina gave me the Consumed Trilogy as her recommendation. Now I technically only needed one book and was just going to read book one, but I ended up reading all three.

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.

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:
