Sunday Book Club: Thriller Reads

Note: Today’s post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Something Good.

It’s the season for thriller reads! Actually, I think that any time it’s dark or rainy outside, it’s time for a good thriller. But I digress. Even if you’re not a Halloween person, October is the perfect time to curl up with a creepy book and scare yourself silly.

In the spirit of that, I decide to gather up some of my favorite creepy reads from the past few years for you to read. But, I know that even when it comes to books, everyone has their own level of scare they want to deal with. So I’ve divided up the books into what I think their level of thriller-y. I figured the scale would go from Thriller Lite to Scare Your Pants Off-Keep the Lights Off When You Go to Bed Level. Hopefully my scale won’t be too off from what you think. But either way, I think you should go for a scare your pants off book, you might love it!
