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)!
