The Thought Nest

Heartless by Elsie Silver My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) First off let me say OMG I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK! Heartless by Elsie Silver completely stole my heart—this book was EVERYTHING I wanted and more. I devoured it in a single day, unable to put it down from the moment I started. Cade and Willa’s story pulled me in instantly, and I was hooked on every page, every glance, every bit of banter and slow-burning tension between them!! Cade is the brooding single dad with a heart of GOLD you can’t help but fall for, and Willa is pure sunshine—spunky, bold, and full of life. Together, they were absolutely adorable and so well-matched. Their chemistry WAS SO ELECTRIC but what really made me fall in love with them was how deeply they connected on an emotional level. The way they learned to trust and open up to each other felt so real and raw. The pacing was PERFECT—never a dull moment—and I appreciated that their romance wasn’t rushed. Wat...

The Coworker by Freida McFadden My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) The Coworker is now, without a doubt, MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE book by Freida McFadden!! I’ve read several of her thrillers, but this one BLEW ME away with its clever twists, unexpected turns, and a storyline that kept me guessing until the very last page. From the very beginning, McFadden sets the tone with a slow burn of thoughts that gradually evolves into a full-blown psychological roller coaster. The plot centers around two coworkers—one mysterious, one seemingly “normal”—and a disappearance that flips their workplace upside down. What seems simple at first quickly becomes a layered mystery filled with secrets, lies, and deeply unsettling discoveries. What I loved most was how brilliantly misleading the entire story is. Every time I thought I had figured it out—boom—another twist. I kept thinking, “Okay, now I know what’s going on,” only to be completely wrong again and again. ...

The Tenant by Freida McFadden My rating: 5 of 5 stars Freida McFadden has done it YET AGAIN!—The Tenant is an absolute page-turner that had me hooked from the very first chapter. This psychological thriller is packed with suspense, secrets, and twists that hit you when you least expect them. I genuinely couldn’t put it down! The story pulls you in with an eerie setup — a new tenant moves into a seemingly normal apartment, but things quickly spiral into something much darker.

Summer in the City by Alex Aster My rating: 5 of 5 stars Alex Aster’s Summer in the City is a heartfelt, romantic escape set against the glittering backdrop of New York City. With vivid prose and an emotionally resonant story, this book pulls you right into the bustling streets, cozy corners, and electric energy of the city—so much so that you can almost hear the taxis and feel the summer heat radiating off the pavement. At the center of it all is Parker, a character who, despite having wealth, fame, and every material possession imaginable, feels deeply human and down to earth. His character is a reminder that none of that truly matters without love. What’s most striking about Parker is how genuine he is—he never lets his status or privilege cloud what he really wants: Elle. His love for her is INSPIRING in every sense. He doesn’t give up, no matter how complicated things get, and every action he takes is filled with an aching sincerity. Watching hi...

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood My rating: 5 of 5 stars Before picking up The Love Hypothesis, I had never read a fiction book besides in high school. I was always into the nonfiction genre. I always thought fiction wasn’t for me — that it couldn’t capture my attention or make me feel anything meaningful. Then came Ali Hazelwood's — the love hypothesis and EVERYTHING changed. This book didn’t just entertain me; it cracked open a whole new world, and I fell in LOVE — not just with the story, but with reading itself. What struck me first was the chemistry between Olive and Adam. It was electric but also beautifully subtle at times, and it made their connection feel real. They weren’t perfect — far from it — but the way they complemented each other was like two puzzle pieces finally snapping into place. I found myself rooting for them more than I expected, smiling through their awkward moments, and even tearing up during the emotional ones. Ali...

The Locked Door by Freida McFadden My rating: 5 of 5 stars WOAHHHH SOOOOO GOOD! I could NOT put this book down! From the very first page, The Locked Door had me completely HOOKED. Freida McFadden knows exactly how to pull readers in with suspense, unexpected twists, and just the right amount of psychological tension!! Throughout the book, my mind was racing with theories. I kept thinking, “What if it’s this?” or “No, it has to be that!”—and yet, every time I thought I had it figured out, Freida would throw in a twist that had my mind BLOWN! This story could have gone SO MANY ways, and that unpredictability is what made this book so addicting to read! The thrill was such a rush! The ending? Absolutely shocking. I did not see it coming, and I LOVE that!! It was the kind of twist that made me sit back and say, “WAAAAIT—WHAT?” in the best way possible. It tied everything together in such a clever and unexpected manner, leaving me both satisfied and stunn...
