Her Last Breath
Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams is a relentless, claustrophobic thriller that completely had me in its grip. The story follows best friends Tess and Allie as they embark on a long-delayed caving expedition that quickly turns into a nightmare. After a violent encounter deep underground leaves Tess trapped in a narrow crawl space, the narrative…
The Girls Before
The Girls Before is a chilling, slow-burn thriller that intertwines two haunting storylines: a woman trapped in a dark room (“below”) and a search-and-rescue expert (“above”) haunted by her ex–best friend’s disappearance years earlier. As Audrey uncovers evidence suggesting a missing runaway may be tied to a powerful local family, the novel peels back decades of…
