      You’ve read some of my favourite thrillers, love your selection. I completely agree about your Ruth Ware, Peter Swanson ranking it’s always a hit or miss with these two. But you definitely need to read The Death of Mrs. West away by Ruth ware it’s one of my favourites by her I might like it more than the turn of they key it’s very atmospheric and just love the vibes in that book.

    I will never get tired of these tier ranking videos! I don't read as many thrillers as I would like. I loved The Guest List as well. I get why people don't let it, but I absolutely flew through it and the setting was perfect!

    You are my favourite youtuber Gabby! I watch every single video! I love John Marrs too, I recommend you try The good samaritan , it has no sci-fi elements, it's an awesome thriller about a woman who works on a suicide line but instead of saving lives , she convinces people to commit suicide. Its a great fun to read, his premises are so cool and unique

    Your book club has not failed. More interesting talks about a book that sucked than one that everyone loved where there's nothing much to say. Also fun when one person hated it & the other loved it. Bcuz the audience is mixed sometimes. Both sides gets a voice! Great video Gabby!

  • @thepagesofsamantha
    @thepagesofsamantha 3 года назад +21

    for me, I really liked The Maidens until the big reveal at the end. it just felt really cheap and unoriginal and I just honestly hated it. there were many possible suspects, and I wish someone else had been the killer than who it actually turned out to be :( but The Silent Patient is god tier and I'm definitely gonna read his next book, whenever that may come. I also really enjoyed For Your Own Good so I want to read Samantha Downing's other books too

    it's about a Sniper that likes to practice on actual people.
    it's very similar to No Exit, except it's in the desert

    @lynnbraden1044 3 года назад +2

    I loved your tier ranking video. Of the books on your list that I've read, I agree with almost all of your rankings. For me, Then She Was Gone is more of a story about the effects of the disappearance of a loved one rather than an actual mystery about finding someone who's missing, but I did think it was very well written. Some of those books are on my shelf waiting to be read, so it gave me an idea of what to prioritize. BTW - I have a third Taylor Adams book on my shelf called Eyeshot.

    I'm at the Lisa Jewell part of the video and you've convinced me to give her another go. I recently read The Family Upstairs - it's the only book of hers I've read - and I thought it was surprisingly poor; I'd rank it exactly where you rank it. But it's good to know that you don't think it's representative of her work, and I'm more open minded now to trying something else by her.

I’m SO excited for The Night She Disappeared. It’s been highly recommended to me.
