📌Black Buck

Normally I read psychological thrillers & dark romance. This is neither. Black Buck takes you on a rapid journey surrounding workplace culture in a startup company. Race is heavily mentioned because the story is about the only black man working at the startup. After he starts reaping the benefits of being successful at the company & forgets where he came from, a lot of things start happening back-to-back that may put him into a lot of trouble.

Solid 4.2/5

📌One by One

Freida McFadden. That’s all I can say. We know her. We love her.

Solid 4.5/5

📌You Shouldn’t Have Come Here

You Shouldn’t Have Come Here was definitely one of my favorites by Jeneva Rose. I prefer this one over the Perfect Marriage. Like, a lot more. The plot twist was one I actually didn’t see coming. The author makes you think one thing is about to happen when something else actually occurs.

Solid 4.5/5

2024/12/29 Edited to

Reviews highlight the gripping narrative and cultural insights as the protagonist grapples with success and identity, making it a must-read for those interested in psychological depth and sociopolitical commentary. Freida McFadden's 'One by One' has been hailed as a quick psychological thriller with dual POVs that keep readers on the edge of their seats. The author's skillful storytelling draws comparisons to well-known works and keeps fans coming back for more. Jeneva Rose has established her prowess in the thriller genre with 'You Shouldn’t Have Come Here', recognized for its skillful plot twists that surprise even the most seasoned readers.
