Mini Review Monday: The Office Has Secrets 🖤 ⭐ Rating: 4.7/5 – Addictive, eerie, and impossible to put down. ✨ Suspense Level: High – pure cat-and-mouse chaos. 💀 Tropes: Unreliable Narrator, Workplace Suspense, Frenemies, Psychological Thriller 📝 Mini Review: Freida McFadden does it again with a twisty psychological thriller that had me questioning everyone. Set inside a toxic office filled with fake smiles and hidden grudges, The Coworker follows two women who couldn’t be more different: Dawn — the awkward, misunderstood accountant who lives by routine — and Natalie — the golden girl of sales, charming and confident… until Dawn vanishes. From the first page, I was completely hooked. The tension builds with every chapter as Natalie gets pulled into Dawn’s disappearance and starts receiving cryptic calls that unravel everything she thought she knew. It’s darkly funny, deeply unsettling, and full of that Freida-style “wait, WHAT just happened?” moment that flips the entire stor...

🌲 Dark Waters, Deeper Lies Book: The Counselors by Jessica Goodman Genre: YA Thriller | Mystery | Friendship Drama Vibe: Summer nostalgia curdled by secrets, guilt, and grief Summer at Alpine Lake was supposed to be Goldie’s fresh start — the one place that always felt like home, even when she didn’t fit anywhere else.

To outsiders, Alpine Lake looks like privilege and tradition wrapped in sunshine, but for Goldie, it’s memories, comfort, and a shot at redemption. Only this year, something feels off.

Her best friends, Ava and Imogen, are keeping their own secrets, and Goldie’s past is threatening to surface.

  Hearts on the Field: A Friday Reading Moment 💛⚽ Welcome back to another Favorite Friday here on Romance in the Coffee Rings! This week, my pick is extra special because it’s one I’ve been dying to get my hands on — The Defender by Ana Huang. I picked it up just yesterday, and I already know it’s going to steal my whole weekend (and probably my heart). If you’ve been around for a while, you know how much I adored The Striker , book one in Ana’s Gods of the Game series. It had that perfect mix of passion, heartbreak, and adrenaline that makes a sports romance impossible to put down. So the second I heard we were getting Vincent’s story next? Instant preorder.
