Sassy Thriller Rating Scale

🔪 5 Knives Out of 5 – “I slept with the lights on and questioned my entire existence.”

This book had me clutching my pearls, checking my locks, and texting my therapist. A masterpiece of menace.

🔪 4 Knives – “I gasped. Audibly. In public.”

Twisty, juicy, and just unhinged enough to make me side-eye strangers. Not perfect, but I’d still recommend it to my enemies.

🔪 3 Knives – “I saw it coming, but I still tripped over it.”

Predictable but fun. Like a Lifetime movie with a budget. I didn’t scream, but I did raise an eyebrow.

🔪 2 Knives – “More thriller, less filler, please.”

Dragged like a body in the woods. The twist tried, but it didn’t thrive. I finished it out of spite.

🔪 1 Knife – “I was the real victim.”

This book committed crimes against suspense. I want my time back and possibly a refund on my trust in humanity.

🗡️ Bonus Rating: The Unhinged Dagger – “What did I just read and why do I want more?”
