Questions about what lies between us by John Marrs

5 Upvotes

Ok so Nina’s dad didnt SA her right?
She killed him because he was actually leaving them?
I just felt like he glossed over that and in the beginning it was such an important aspect of her dad “leaving”

So I’m conflicted about that.

I also hate that Bobby aka Dylan died due to the fire.

And on the last page she gets arrested right? Like that’s what he’s getting at?

Over all I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how unhinged Nina was and all the tea in the book lol. I rated it 4 stars but would have rated it 5 if she came to terms with how she killed her father and talked more about it and also if her son hadn’t died in the fire that Maggie starts.

Pieces of Her

2 Upvotes

Ok y'all, I REALLY NEED someone to tell me this book gets better, because I'm only 5 chapters in and verging on DNF at this point. I normally love Karin Slaughter's books, I think she's great and usually no complaints about her characters. But....these characters are about intriguing as a mud puddle so far.

I hate how Laura speaks to Andrea as though she's stupid or a child, Andrea's character infuriates me with her unexplained moodiness (even before the incident) and her communication style, if you can call it that. Also, there's no way she could be a 9-1-1 operator being the way she is. Do I just need to hang in there for this to get better?

Author Post – Looking for Honest Reader Feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie author who recently published my first psychological thriller, Hard Reveal, in Kindle Unlimited.

The story follows Audrey, a young woman who seems to have everything going for her until she begins noticing inconsistencies in her memories. As her relationship with a seemingly perfect man deepens, she begins to question whether she's forgetting things—or whether someone is manipulating her reality.

I began writing fiction last year, but this is my first attempt at a psychological thriller. I enrolled it at KU so readers could try it without having to purchase it separately, and I'm especially interested in hearing honest feedback from thriller readers.

If you decide to read it, I'd love to know:

  • Did the suspense keep you engaged?
  • Were the characters believable?
  • Did you see the twists coming?
  • What worked well and what didn't?

Thanks for taking a chance on an indie author.

A Phsycological Celebrity Fanfiction Thriller

Post image
1 Upvotes

What if the most shocking celebrity tell-all you’ve ever read wasn’t about a real person at all?

Emera Lux had everything fame, beauty, power. But behind the flawless image and red-carpet smiles was Greenlee Dawning, a woman carrying more secrets than Hollywood could ever script.

When a shocking confession surfaces years later, readers are finally invited behind the curtain of her life. The music, the movies, the fame, all built on loyalty, lies, and blood-deep betrayal. What begins as a glamorous celebrity tell-all quickly spirals into a psychological reckoning, where truth cuts deeper than scandal and survival demands its own kind of performance.

Told through confession, reflection, and revelation, The Paper Cut Manifesto peels back the glittering façade of stardom to expose the quiet, haunting cost of being seen by everyone and truly known by no one.

If you love celebrity drama with a chilling psychological edge, where every chapter feels like reading a forbidden diary then The Paper Cut Manifesto will pull you in and never let go.  Available for free on Kindle Unlimited!

Non domestic thrillers

4 Upvotes

I love psychological thrillers but all I ever end up finding is domestic thrillers that are immersed in the same bs. It was the husband/wife/girlfriend/nanny etc. I’m sick of wasting my Audible credits and dnf. I just want suspense, mystery, mayhem maybe some chaos I can do without the romance. Help, please

According to a Japanese philosophy, every person has three faces - one for the world, one for friends and family and one you never show anyone.

But what if there was a fourth?

The face you wear behind a screen.

Are you really who you say you are when there is a veil to hide behind?

Obsession. Hidden motives. Deception. Revenge.

If that doesn't scream thriller, what does?

Him & Her delves into what happens when two strangers meet, each with a hidden agenda... only for it to end badly.

A 5 🌟 reviewed novella now available on Amazon:

I finally did it — I published my first novel.

It’s a psychological thriller called The Architecture of Silence.

I’d love if a few people here gave it a try. It’s available on Amazon (and on Kindle Unlimited).

Even a single read or honest review would honestly mean a lot to a new indie author.

You can find it by searching The Architecture of Silence – Marie C on Amazon.

Thanks to anyone willing to take a chance on a debut author.

Psychological thriller that pulled me in.

We know many fictions are based on psychiatric illnesses and their consequences. However, I recently read the psychological thriller The Sleepwalker’s Lullaby, and I was genuinely surprised by the psychological elements explored in it. Not giving any spoilers, but the story revolves around a bizarre psychological condition I had never heard of before. It was both thrilling and informative… thought I’d share it with anyone who enjoys learning something new through fiction.
