Being an avid reader, I have a habit of devouring books and often go through several novels in a week. However, the more I read, the better I become at predicting the outcomes of books.
While I don’t mind this predictability and enjoy a romantic fantasy story now and then, the thrill of discovering a book that exceeds all expectations is unmatched. I appreciate big plot twists, surprising villains, and unexpected endings in the books I read.
Here are five books I’ve read this year that kept me guessing until the very end, covering various genres like literary fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and non-fiction, as highlighted in a report from the Express.
In “The Rabbit Club,” an American teenager arrives in Oxford and gets entangled in the secretive world of the Saracens, an elite clandestine society. As his ambitions grow, reality blurs with illusion, setting off a series of events with far-reaching consequences beyond imagination.
Reading this dark academia thriller was a mind-bending experience, much darker and intricate than I expected. The conclusion left me shocked, prompting me to consider rereading the entire book to uncover missed details.
If you’re seeking a deep dive into a captivating read this autumn, this book is a perfect choice.

In “King Sorrow,” six friends make a deadly pact with a dragon in Joe Hill’s first novel in almost a decade. Over four decades, Arthur, Gwen, Colin, Donna, Van, and Allie must choose a new victim for King Sorrow every Easter or face dire consequences.
Despite its nearly 900-page length, the novel is far from tedious or predictable. “King Sorrow” takes readers on an unpredictable, genre-defying journey full of unexpected twists that caught me off guard.
Although I had the privilege of reading an advance copy, this novel will hit shelves later this month.

If you enjoy gripping tales with morally ambiguous characters, “Make Me Famous” is a must-read. The story follows Cléo, a determined singer convinced of her inevitable fame.
We witness her journey to stardom and her current retreat to a secluded island for creative inspiration. Twisted and enthralling, “Make Me Famous” takes an unexpected turn that left me breathless.
