Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This book took you on a roller coaster ride that you didn’t know if you wanted to get off or not. It had you questioning who you believed and who you sympathized with. It had you asking yourself what the heck was going on. We meet Nick on the day of his 5th wedding anniversary with his wife, Amy. Everything is routine, until Amy disappears from their house with signs of a struggle. Nick, not being the most likeable or sympathetic husband, starts lying to everyone and acts in a way a grieving husband normally would not act given the circumstances. We also get a glimpse into Nick and Amy’s past through entries from Amy’s journal entries, which paint the picture of a wife who desperately loved her husband.
This book did start a little slow for me, mainly because I was not a fan of Nick – at all. He just seemed uncaring, guilty and unemotional; however, he was determined to find out what exactly happened to his wife. However, as the plot of the story thickened and the twists came, you started getting a sense that things were not what they seemed. You were constantly kept at the edge of your seat trying to figure out who to believe and what was going to happen next. If you want a mystery thriller, this is definitely the book for you.
Thoughtless Series by S.C. Stephens
I would not be doing any of you justice if I did not mention this series to you. Thoughtless is a three book series, with all three books currently out. It is about a young woman, Kiera, and her struggle for her feelings with her college boyfriend, Denny, and a rocker with a reputation, Kellan. The first book, centers on her struggle to battle her conflicting emotions and you are left heartbroken for all parties involved.
This series is one of the most popular series in the indie book community right now, so I highly recommend you read it. I personally am a HUGE fan of this series not only because there is a hot rock star that you instantly fall in love with, but because the story has depth and evokes every emotion out of you. There are times you will laugh out loud, cry like a baby, or scream and want to throw things. You get completely caught up in this world, that by the time you are done, you feel heartbroken that it is over… but content that it ended perfectly. This is one of the most well done book series out there.
