Jar of Hearts is a gripping thriller that kept me hooked from start to finish. Jennifer Hillier masterfully weaves a dark, twist-filled story that is as shocking as it is compelling. The plot’s turns are unpredictable and satisfying, making it impossible to put down.

That said, I’d caution readers: this book comes with a host of trigger warnings—it’s intense and not for the faint of heart.

I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a fantastic job bringing the characters and the suspense to life, enhancing the experience. If you’re a fan of dark, edgy thrillers and can handle the content, this one is a must-read (or listen)!

Jesus this book was good, but super fucked up and hard to read in places. I liked it, don't get me wrong, but this was a hard read for me. Not one single character is “good” but that doesn’t mean they’re unlikable per se. Glad I read it and it hit the fall/halloween/dark vibes I was looking for.

𝘔𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 :

This was a dark, twisted thriller that definitely held my attention! I enjoyed the dual timelines, it really added to the suspense. It was just short of 5★ for me because the ending wrapped up a little too quick & neatly. I didn’t feel a story this emotionally charged would have buttoned up quite so easily.  

This one is pretty graphic, and more than a little disturbing. I think if you’re a crime connoisseur it won’t phase you, but just a heads up!
