5 Great Psychological Thrillers About Reunions and Old Secrets
Amber and Danielle Brown on a beloved trope.
At its core, Zetas Till We Die is a story that ignites once a group of sorority sisters get back together for a ten-year reunion, only to find out that time hasn’t buried secrets they thought they’d left in the past. If you love this trope, here’s a few of our top picks for similar page-turning thrillers.
In My Dreams I Hold A Knife by Ashley Winstead
Just like in Zetas Till We Die, In My Dreams I Hold A Knife by Ashley Winstead really showcases the way dark secrets resurface when old friends are brought back together. Winstead masterfully blends the tension of rekindled relationships with the chilling realization that the past isn’t as buried as it seems. If you’re drawn to thrillers where the stakes are high and the mystery is driven by interpersonal conflict, you’ll love In My Dreams I Hold A Knife.

The Reunion by Samantha Hayes
The Reunion by Samantha Hayes is compulsively readable. This one is all about long-buried secrets bubbling to the surface during a reunion. The narrative uses multiple POVs in really clever ways that deepen the suspense. The reunion is set in a secluded location, which heightens the drama and feeling of isolation. The story duces deep into unresolved issues, old grievances and buried truths. Of course there are some really juicy twists that make this one so satisfying in the end.
The Girls Are All So Nice Here by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
The Girls Are All So Nice Here by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn is very much like Zetas Till We Die because we’re following former college friends who are invited back to their alma mater for a reunion and someone wants revenge for what they did ten years ago. As the weekend unfolds, dark secrets from their college days come to light, revealing a sinister past that threatens their present. This one will leave you unsettled for sure.

Amber and Danielle Brown
Amber and Danielle Brown both graduated from Rider University where they studied Communications / Journalism and sat on the editorial staff for the On Fire!! literary journal. They then pursued a career in fashion and spent five years in NYC working their way up, eventually managing their own popular fashion and lifestyle blog. Amber is also a screenwriter, so they live in LA, which works out perfectly so Danielle can spoil her plant babies with copious amount of sunshine. Someone Had to Do It is their debut novel.
