Rock Paper Scissors

Psychological Thriller 🔥 Intense ♥ Favourite Written 21 June 2026

My thoughts

This was exactly the kind of psychological thriller I enjoy—full of secrets, unreliable characters, and constant suspense. Every chapter made me question who was telling the truth, and I kept changing my mind about who I could trust. The atmosphere was one of my favorite parts. The isolated setting created a feeling of unease that never really disappeared, making every revelation feel even more intense. I was relieved that Robin turned out to be much less dark than I had feared. Amelia, on the other hand, was a character I found difficult to sympathize with, and by the end I felt strangely relieved that she was no longer standing between the others. The twists were satisfying, and although everything became very dark near the end, it fit the story well. I enjoyed being constantly surprised without feeling completely lost. ❤️ Favorite Things Unreliable narrators Creepy, isolated setting Slow-building tension Clever twists Short chapters that kept me reading 🌙 Memorable Feeling "I never really trusted anyone—and that turned out to be the right instinct." 📚 Would I Recommend It? Yes, especially to readers who love psychological thrillers with mind games, secrets, and characters that keep you guessing until the final pages.
