I don't know about you, but I love reading a good thriller when it’s snowing outside! There’s just something so moody about the snow that I’m always looking to buckle down with a chilling read! So, here’s my list of 9 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦! PS: I have read and recommend each of the books on this list. Leave me a comment if you have any more suggestions! 1. ONE BY ONE: RUTH WARE
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 I chose this book because not only does it take place in the perfect setting (a snow filled mountain resort that sits FAR from any other place) but because of the claustrophobic feelings it gives off. These characters are STRANDED at this secluded location while a raging blizzard is happening outside. Things only get worse too because someone inside is a killer! 2. NO EXIT BY TAYLOR ADAMS
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 I chose NO EXIT by Taylor Adams because this book is the epitome of a chilling winter read. Stranded at a rest stop with strangers is scary enough especially with the blizzard that is raging outside. But then finding out that SOMEONE may have kidnapped a little girl and is hiding her in their truck? Well, that’s when things take a turn for the scary! 3. THE HUNTING PARTY BY LUCY FOLEY
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 Here we have another locked room type “who-dun-it” that takes place during the winter! When a blizzard strikes leaving these people stranded in a remote location, things get chilling. Then to find out there is a killer in the midst makes it all the more frightening! I love books like this which is why I am choosing them as perfect winter reads! 4. AN UNWANTED GUEST BY SHARI LAPENA
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 An Unwanted Guest takes on the same themes as the books I posted before this one. This is another stranded in a blizzard mystery where the guests come to realize that not all is at it seems and someone or something more sinister is after them! 5. STRANGER IN THE LAKE BY KIMBERLY BELLE
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 Stranger in the Lake fits in really well with this list because it’s a chilling murder mystery. Not only does it take place during winter, but the frozen lake where the dead body is found lends itself to the uncomfortable mystery that unfolds! This was a favorite read of mine in 2020! 6. THE WINTER SISTER BY MEGAN COLLINS
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 So, I haven’t had a chance to read The Winter Sister by Megan Collins yet, but it has been on my radar for quite some time! I decided to add it to this list for a few reasons. First, the title itself is perfect for the books listed here. Secondly, this book is described as a haunting and atmospheric novel and books like this are pretty chilling! Finally, family suspense’s are my favorite and I know many reads enjoy them just as much as I do! 7. THE NIGHT OLIVIA FELL BY CHRISTINA MCDONALD
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 I loved this book. It’s a thrilling chiller about a mother searching for answers into why her daughter is braindead after a fall and pregnant. I highly recommend it to all readers! 8. THE WINTER PEOPLE BY JENNIFER MCMAHON
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 The Winter People is one of my favorite books by the author. It’s part ghost story, part mystery, and wholly chilling! This is a winter read, one that would be PERFECT for reading by a warm fire. If there is one book you want to read with the seasons, this is it! 9. I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS BY IAIN REID
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 I’ll admit, this book can be severely depressing (the winter setting adds to the effect!) but it is such an original and chilling read that it almost NEEDS to be read by everyone. I encourage readers who have been wanting to read this one to get on it and actually READ it. It’ll take you through a mind loop that’s for sure! I hope you’ve enjoyed this list! I try and take particular care in my book selections when I am making them. If you have read or plan to read any of the books listed here leave me a comment and let me know! I love chatting books. Also, if you know of any books with similar themes add them to the comment section. I’d be happy to add more!
