Keep It in the Family by John Marrs

Baddie Book ReviewsLeave a comment

There are thrillers that make you look over your shoulder, and then there’s what John Marrs does in Keep It in the Family, where every horror, every secret, and every warped loyalty makes you question humanity itself. This isn’t just a domestic mystery about a creepy house, it’s a tangled, unhinged psychological exploration of family, identity, trauma, and the lengths people go to protect, or destroy, those they love. From the first unnerving scrawl scratched into a floorboard to the final bone-chilling twist, Keep It in the Family is Marrs at his darkest, most disturbing, and most emotionally jarring.

For this review, I am getting into No Exit by Taylor Adams, a heart-racing thriller that keeps you glued to the pages from start to end. I really enjoyed this one and devoured it quickly because, at first, you are drawn into the high-paced mystery, and then further thrown into an action-filled ending that’s hard to turn away from.

The God of the Woods by Liz Moore is a mystery thriller focusing on the Van Laar family, plagued by the disappearances of siblings Barbra and Bear. While the narrative is rich in character exploration and emotional depth, the pacing may not satisfy those seeking a fast-paced plot. Ultimately, it's more character-driven than thrilling.
