I like romance, but I especially love when the romance plot is super layered and there are other things going on. 💖

Domestic/social thrillers with a strong voice. 📝

Anything that tackles capitalism in an unexpected way. 💰

I love mystery thrillers that explore a ‘true’ crime and its repercussions. Think A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU and JACKAL.

I’m looking for upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues. THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING live rent-free in my brain.

I’m also a super-duper realistic horror fan (Scream and Jaws are two of my favorite all-time movies), so I’m here for contemporary realistic slashers that aren’t too gory, thrillers, and whodunnits (Scream is a whodunnit!!) in #YA #MSWL

More generically, I am always looking for psychological and domestic thrillers that make my heart pump and beads of sweat break out on my forehead.

Domestic suspense and thrillers are also up my alley. Think more drama (YELLOWJACKETS, FROM, GONE GIRL) than espionage. #MSWL 🧵

I would also love some darker stories — thrillers, mysteries. Send me your revenge stories #MSWL
Note that I still want them to end in hope ❤️

I'd love some genre fiction (thriller/suspense/crime/speculative) from unique perspectives with authentic and unusual narrative voices. But I'm not the best fit for true crime or epic fantasy.

Always intrigued by stories told over one night like We Are the Wildcats, or thrillers over one night, like a #YA version of Survive the Night. #MSWL

I’m REALLY looking for mystery/thrillers/suspense in both the YA and adult space, ESPECIALLY from marginalized populations. However, I am not the right fit for law enforcement protagonists or love interests.

"Psychological thrillers with new twists on my favorite classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form."

Suspense/Mystery/Thriller set at a vacation destination #mswl

Gloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard

I want an escapist book that gives me the same feeling I get watching White Lotus. Fantastic characters, a gripping plot, and a fabulous location. maybe it’s a thriller, maybe it’s a drama, maybe it’s a little bit of both, maybe it’s something else entirely! #mswl
