10 Exciting Thriller Novels With a Supernatural Twist

We are not constrained by genre when we read, which is wonderful. Who’s to say that a novel can’t have thrillers, horror, and ghost stories? We frequently read thrillers for the fast-paced, high-octane action, but adding some supernatural elements can improve the experience. These 10 exciting thriller novels will captivate you if you enjoy a fast-paced read with a hint of the paranormal that sends chills down your spine.
