At Book Riot Cole tagged three of her favorite paranormal thrillers. One title on the list:
I read We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer in a single sitting, trapped in a coffee shop booth with no choice but to turn the page. It was utterly captivating, so well written, and God, one of the scariest books I’ve ever read. Following a queer couple who’ve recently purchased a new home and are in the process of moving in, things shift quicker than expected in this terrifying, lightning-paced novel. I highly recommend it for thriller fans looking to dig their way out of a slump.Read about another novel on the list.
We Used to Live Here is among Victoria Helen Stone's nine icy thrillers to get you through the sweltering summer.
