page-turners
Books demanding continuation
Page-turners are books so compelling you can't stop reading—each page demands the next.
The term suggests narrative momentum, usually applied to thrillers, mysteries, or suspense novels: Her latest novel is a real page-turner.
A page-turner prioritizes plot over literary style, keeping readers up past bedtime.
