Review
I enjoyed this book so well, I went out and borrowed three more by the author.
Brain Damage by Freida McFadden
Genre: suspense thriller, to be published Aug. 25, 2026, NetGalley
Review: Charly wakes up in a hospital with a feeding tube in her stomach and no memory of why she is there, what happened to her, or who she is. As she slowly regains her strength, some memories come back as she tries to put together who had shot her in the head and left her for dead.
The amnesiac angle of the story made it suspenseful and had the reader eagerly waiting for the protagonist to figure out what happened to her. This trope is becoming more used in thrillers and I am a fan. Enjoyable and well written, plotted, with realistic characters, the book made me look for the author's previous books.
Listening to:
I'm listening to the audiobook in spurts. It's another suspenseful and mysterious novel by the author.
The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden
Genre: thriller
Published March 23, 2020
Brief description: Victoria is confined to her room, unable to speak or walk after a terrible accident. Her husband hires a woman, Sylvia, to keep her company, read to her, and be a friendly companion.
Sylvia soon discovers Victoria's diary, written before the accident, and tries to piece together the mystery behind the silent woman, who keeps trying to communicate something to Sylvia.
Next on the list:
I enjoy the thrillers by Camilla Sten. This is a new one that I hope to read soon.
The Break-Up Retreat by Camilla Sten
Publication: June 9, 2026, Minotaur, NetGalley
This book is described as a "creepy thriller" about an undercover journalist who visits a women's psychological wellness center that caters to those who want to recover from heartbreak. I'm curious about it.
And something more relaxing inbetween thrillers:
