Welcome back to Mindset, Health, Empowerment: The Unfiltered Trainer and another volume of The Unfiltered Bookshelf 📚
Five thrillers. Five completely unfiltered opinions. And a couple of books that had me questioning everything.
This month I'm breaking down:
📖 The Divorce by Freida McFadden — 4/5 ⭐
A domestic thriller where literally nobody makes good decisions… and somehow that's exactly why it works.
📖 Ward D by Freida McFadden — 4.5/5 ⭐
A locked psychiatric ward, disappearing patients, secrets, and one very long night where absolutely nothing feels safe.
📖 The Only One Left by Riley Sager — 5/5 ⭐
My first Riley Sager book and an instant favorite. A gothic mansion, a decades-old family murder, and a twist I absolutely did not see coming.
📖 Next of Kin by Kia Abdullah — 4/5 ⭐
A devastating premise that turns into a complicated courtroom thriller about family, blame, secrets, and one decision that changes everything.
📖 Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney — 5/5 ⭐
A remote island, a missing wife, questionable residents, and the kind of ending that made me sit there and process what I had just read.
Throughout the episode, I'm putting each book through The Unfiltered Bookshelf Rating System — the Green Flag, Red Flag, WTF Moment, Twist Test, and who should actually read it.
No sugarcoating. No "everything was amazing." Just real reads, real reactions, and real ratings.
Which book would you pick up first? And if you've already read one of these, did you agree with my rating?
