Hunter H. | 18 comments Treasures of the Lochs
I recommend Treasures of the Lochs. This is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is an exciting, powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fiction. I hope you’ll check it out.

2. Five Survive by Holly Jackson (fast-paced thriller, gave off Lord of the Flies vibes)
3. The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson (the ending is absolutely insane)
4. How To Survive Your Murder by Danielle Valentine (the title says it all ;)
5. Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter (not a thriller, but it has romance and it never fails to get me out of a slump)
6. Never Lie by Frieda McFadden (Frieda is the queen of thrillers)
7. One of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus (the plot twists are crazy)

happy reading <3
