Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There's nothing more frustrating than a thriller book that leaves readers disappointed with its final twist, but that only makes the stories that get it right stand out all the more. Mysteries, psychological thrillers, unsettling crime dramas, and more have been a key feature of fiction for centuries, going back to James Fenimore Cooper's The Spy in 1821.

Swanson didn't need to reach too far for suspense in this book since the intense pact between the book's two characters does all the work for him. However, the themes of morality guide readers uneasily through the psychological thriller as they are hit with endless twists and turns that won't disappoint.

13 Stay Awake By Megan Goldin 3.82/5 On Goodreads Megan Goldin takes a common concept and makes it extraordinary in Stay Awake. The novel follows Liv Reese, who wakes up in a cab with no idea how she got there or where she has been. It isn't until she discovers a bloody knife on her person and the messages saying "stay awake!" scrawled over her skin that she realizes that if she falls asleep, her memory will be reset, and she will forget everything.

The final twist of Primal Fear comes with the verdict, full of courtroom drama and flair that will keep readers at the very edge of their seats. This thriller once again uses readers' expectations against them, delivering that final and thrillingly disturbing bombshell. 10 Confessions By Kanae Minato 3.79/5 On Goodreads Confessions is Kanae Minato's debut novel, and she held nothing back. Originally published in Japan in 2008, the book follows Yuko Moriguchi, a single mother turned vigilante after her daughter's murder. It sounds like a Marvel origin story, but one of the initial twists of Confessions is that the murderers at whom Yuko's revenge is aimed are only 13 years old. However, this doesn't stop the grieving mother's violence.

Finlay's mystery thriller is phenomenally paced, with minimal downtime that would cause readers to lose interest. There are new clues, reveals, and massive shocks unveiled on every page, but this does nothing to prepare readers for the final twist. Natsuo Kirino uses gore and violence in Out to set readers on edge, with desperate, unhappy characters that naturally create the tone of this crime drama thriller.
