Absolutely amazing. ‘Death, are you real?’ is also good, as well as ‘The Next Morning’. Those three are my best picks.” I blinked several times, visibly surprised. Earlier events completely shoved to the side as this new discovery of Cassius Silverton reading thriller books had me utterly nonplussed.

She picked up the last book which was actually a journal and tucked in its side were plack pencils with bookish scribbles on them.

Where did that come from? She unpacked a few more things, hung some clothes in the closet, and put her suitcase in the corner. After slipping into bed, she turned out the lamp beside her bed. Her thoughts were running a five-kilometer race and wouldn't stop. Following a lot of flipping and flopping, she switched on the light and picked up a romantic suspense novel she'd been reading. She wanted to live vicariously through the characters in the book instead of thinking about what was happening in her real life. The book was a suspenseful page-turner and a great distraction. She soon found herself getting hooked in and relaxed. She fell asleep right before the book dropped to the floor.

Well, well, well… looks like someone finally got a wake-up call! Remember when I casually hinted that something was brewing in the shadows? And you all nodded politely, thinking, “Sure, sure… author, we believe you.” Well… I told you so. Yes, yes, the smoke, the chaos, the dramatic phone call—it’s all been simmering under the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to jump out and slap you with a plot twist. You should be thanking me, really. It’s called “literary suspense,” and you’re welcome.

“No doubt.” “What about those two small FedEx boxes?” “Most recent novels from Samhain Horror.” “Awesome. Those books I bought at the Webb County Library sale last week?” “Sorted into general and mystery fiction. Struck the mother lode with all those Mary Higgins Clark novels.” “We cater to all tastes, miss. Unless you like Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray or James Patterson. Folks want drivel, they can drive to Utica.” “Hey. I actually liked Twilight. It wasn’t all bad.”

I checked the book title and synopsis. The synopsis promised a thrilling tale of suspense set in a small coastal town where secrets lurked beneath the surface. Intrigued, I settled back into the pillows, propping myself up against the headboard. As I delved into the first chapter, the words whisked me away to a world far different from my own. The characters came alive in my imagination, their struggles and desires captivating my attention. Page after page, I became engrossed in the story, forgetting about the troubles that had plagued my sleepless nights. The author's vivid descriptions painted scenes in my mind, transporting me to the coastal town where the mystery unfolded.

I beamed. "Crazy, isn't it?" "Fucking crazy, for real." "First, we put THE DA VINCI CODE by DAN BROWN here." He picked out the book and inserted it in the center line of the shelf. He put HOW TO STOP TIME by MATT HAIG, followed by EVERGREEN by NAOMI HIRAHARA. "Then KISS THE GIRLS by JAMES PATTERSON." He put it next to the first book. "I've read that." I went on in a spur of excitement. "It's a thriller and mystery novel about a detective who's trying to track down a serial killer. So many twists and cliffhangers. Total page-turner." I giggled.

She had poisoned herself and it was not only the alcohol's fault, but also the constant stress and exhaustion that had been accumulating for a long time. As she passed by the bookshelves, she decided to take some book to read. She was delighted with Matthew's collection.

What surprised her more was to see all of John Grishams' novels.
