I really loved Verity. It was so atmospheric and downright creepy at times. And I’ve had The Butterfly Garden on my TBR for ages.
Yes! I agree. The Butterfly Garden is even more disturbing than Verity!
I tend not to read many creepy books despite the fact that I think they’re brilliant at building an atmosphere. Maybe I need to retry reading one of these books.
Verity would be a good one. It’s not so creepy that I wasn’t able to handle it.
Oooh…now I’m really excited to read The Weight of Blood!! Marrow is the best Halloween read.
I seriously had to take breaks reading that book because it was so intense! (BTW, just got her latest on audio from the library! Excited to start it after reading your review.)
Yay! I hope you enjoy!
Tarryn Fisher is definitely good at putting people on edge!
She sure is!
I’ve heard good things about Verity.
My TTT.
It’s very good!
Jar of Hearts looks amazing! And I loved Verity. I have Marrow and Mud Vein in my kindle.
I’ve been curious about Sharp Objects ever since reading Gone Girl. If you read the latter, which one did you like more?
I liked Sharp Objects more than Gone Girl. Well, the overall reading experience. Gone Girl’s twist is amazing.
I’ve heard so many good things about Verity and Stillhouse Lake!
They’re both good reads, if you’re looking for something darker.
I’ve been hovering over Verity for a few weeks now, I might cave and read it soon.
You should read it! It’s not like anything CoHo has written before. It feels more like Tarryn Fisher than CoHo.
I’m hoping to pick it up next month!
Noting these down because I’m in the mood for some spooky books! I loved Stillhouse Lake but still need to read the other books in the series. I can’t wait!
You’re in for so much fun with those!
Sharp Objects is my favourite standalone novel of all time! BUT, oh dang, so many of these are on my TBR or just new-to-me and I definitely need to get to them ASAP!
I hope you enjoy them if you try them!
I love creepy books, so I’ll have to look some of these up. Great list!
Thank you! 🙂
I have Sharp Objects on my kindle. I need to read that one! Great list!
My TTT!
It’s very good! I hope you enjoy it!
I loved Jar of Hearts and Still House Lake. I really need to read Verity though. It sounds like a great read. Great list!
It is! I think it would be right up your alley!
Thank you!
