🎶 did somebody steal the baby, did a toddler wander off 🎶 coming in last minute as my song of the year

YES YES YES. THE VIDEO I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED

Love your videos!! Your recs are awesome. I totally agree with "it's all a dream" -no way! As a writer I've been told NEVER to do that! Missing child-YES!! "creepy child" yes! I think you're recs are spot on for my tastes. Psychological suspense--just fabulous.

I’m totally with you on the podcast element, thought I was the only one!!!

[burnerandhoney]

I love this!

I will say Charly Cox does police procedural thrillers soooo well. I’m so attached to the characters in her Alyssa Wyatt series. You get POVs from it’s just so good. I’m finishing the 3rd book now!

You know where this is going, i love a missing child” i died!!! ((And same lol

[amylynnsgraphics]

Finally! Someone else who is over the cheating spouse trope!!! I'm sick of reading them in literally every thriller! Why can't we have a power couple who work together to get through whatever the thing is.

This was a really fun video! I look forward to the horror tropes!

it's not a book, but umineko no naku koro ni is a visual novel that has almost all of the tropes you love. it's very good although also very long but i think you should check it out

“I am obsessed with Riley Sager. I will literally lick his bald ass head.” I’m laughing so hard I’m crying but, like, it’s relatable… 😂😂😂

I recently discovered your channel and I am SO happy!! I love your videos + recs 💖 I love creepy kid books and I desperately need recommendations for them, what are your favorites? 😊

[paulphillips]

Fun video! I agree with most! But Speculative Twist, that's a "literally die" for me, lol. If you throw in a speculative twist with absolutely no foreshadowing that the story is operating in a possibly otherworldly realm, then you've lost me. It ranks right down there with All A Dream for cheap and lazy cop-out.

My fav tropes are toxic family dynamics, creepy children, obsession toxic friendships, rich people drama, “bitch Imma steal your life”, revenge, when the past comes back to haunt them, suburban women/mothers, and I love domestic settings

Have you read Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry? I loved it, but I feel like it had that mental health trope in it. If you read it, I’d love to know your thoughts!

[marga]

does anyone know the song in Hailey's opening credits?

[belair]

Minka Kent’s book all have a mental health twist. I like her books but the endings are 🥴
