With the cooler weather setting in, I’ve been hankering for dark and sinister thrillers, and April has delivered some gripping reads. I also dipped my toe in a few other-worldly tales and included some new YA titles in the mix too.

	The Crow Girl Erik Axl Sund Genre: Thriller A brutal, unrelenting thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.  Read the review ⇒
	The Singing Bone Beth Hahn Genre: Thriller A sinister, slow-burning thriller, and a seriously impressive debut. Read the review ⇒
