We picked a thriller that had a great setup… and then slowly lost us.

We’re talking three-star reads, twists that didn’t quite hit, and why some thrillers feel like they’re just repeating the same formula until they randomly don’t. One of us didn’t mind the ending. The other one had a lot more questions.

We also get into indie authors only releasing on Amazon, the whole AI debate in books, and what it’s actually like running an indie bookstore like The Book Burrow while all of this is happening.
