The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
A mystery like no other
I feel like everyone has heard of The Housemaid by now, thanks to its December 2025 adaptation. But if you haven’t, then here is your first entry into the world of Freida McFadden.
The basic premise follows a young woman desperate for a job who ends up scoring a gig as a housemaid for a family on Long Island. They seem perfect, but underneath all the glitz and glamour are dark secrets and twisted lies. This is one of those books that once you start reading, you won’t be able to put it down. And if you end up liking McFadden’s work, several of her other novels are available on Kindle Unlimited!
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
You’ll be questioning everything
Craving a thriller that keeps your heart pounding? The Silent Patient delivers. It’s more than just a mystery—it’s a psychological rollercoaster. You’ll feel every ounce of Theo Faber’s determination as he digs into the silence of his patient, haunted by questions only he seems desperate to answer. The mood is tense, and your own curiosity will spike with every page.
I promise, this book messes with your mind in the best way. You’ll think you finally have it figured out, only for the story to twist itself upside down. Even years later, I still feel the shock and emotion it left me with.
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
The ultimate romantasy
Fantasy shows in 2026 have been electric, igniting a spark for immersive storytelling. If you crave the adventure, excitement, and pure escapism fantasy brings, Fourth Wing is perfect to sweep you into a breathtaking world—and leave your adrenaline racing.
Written by Rebecca Yarros, the first book follows Violet Sorrengail, who is forced to become a dragon rider thanks to her general mother. In order to do so, she must survive a series of brutal tests and competitions and try not to die in a military college. The book was insanely popular, mainly for its well-written romance and fun side characters, and its two other novels are available to read on Unlimited, too.
The Duke And I by Julia Quinn
Witness the beginning of a popular series
If you’re swept up in the Ton, and counting down to Bridgerton season 5, why not experience that giddy romance firsthand through the novels that inspired it? The anticipation, longing, and drama—reading them will make you feel like you’re part of the Bridgerton family.
The first book in the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn, The Duke and I, is on Kindle Unlimited. It follows the love story of Daphne Bridgerton and Duke Simon Basset, just like the show’s first season.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
A modern-day fantasy classic
Looking for an enchanting escape? The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab will grip your heart and refuse to let go. You’ll experience her joy, heartbreak, and the ache of longing right beside her. This read is more than just fun—it’s unforgettable.
The story follows a French woman who makes a deal with the devil in order to obtain immortality. But, in doing so, she is cursed to always be forgotten by every person she has ever met. Yes, it is just as interesting as the premise suggests, and yes, you will cry.
The Deal by Elle Kennedy
If you want a romance, this is the one
With a new TV show based on the series set to release on Amazon Prime, I knew I had to put this here. The Deal by Elle Kennedy is quite possibly one of the biggest hockey-based romances in the country, and one you should certainly check out.
The book is the first in the Off-Campus book series, and follows college student Hannah and hockey player/student Garrett, who needs help with his grades. In order for him not to risk his career, they come up with a deal – she tutors him, and he helps her make her crush jealous. What happens after that? Well, a romance for the ages, if you will.

Quicksilver by Callie Hart
Fae, fights, and fantasy worlds
This is the last fantasy suggestion, but Quicksilver by Callie Hart is a standout addition to Kindle Unlimited.
You’ll experience the terror and fascination as a human alchemist accidentally claims an ancient sword and is thrust into a war-torn fae world. Her journey to understand her rare power—and her struggle to survive—creates moments that pull at your heartstrings. Every twist makes you hope she’ll triumph.
The book, as well as its sequel, is available to read on Kindle Unlimited and is extremely popular, so you’d certainly be in good company. The third book is releasing in November 2026.
The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
Twists upon twists
Last, I suggest The Perfect Marriage. If you’re after a psychological thriller that will keep you on edge, this is for you.
Written by Jeneva Rose, The Perfect Marriage follows D.C. defense attorney Sarah Morgan, who must defend her husband when he is accused of killing his mistress, but there are secrets and lies that turn this entire story upside down.
Rose has other books, but this novel is a perfect introduction to her writing style.
