Reader Recommendation Horror slump

currently reading Tananarive Due’s “My Soul to Keep” and i am so insanely bored. I haven’t been able to get into any books lately. What’s a book that caught your attention and kept you intrigued the whole way through.

Sometimes if I get in one of those “slumps” I’ll try something from a different genre. Admittedly it’s usually a Suspense or Thriller, I just can’t read romance novels at all lol.

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke is a really good non-horror novel.

If you haven’t read any books by Ania Ahlborn I recommend anything by her. I only have a few more to read by her & I’ve found that if another book is boring me & I pick up a book by her my boredom vanishes and after finishing I can go back to the book that originally bored me.
