Sebastian Japrizo - Trap for Cinderella
A short but completely unexpected psychological thriller on every page. There was a terrible shook and only one of the friends survived, but bad luck - it is impossible to determine which one. The burns on her body made her unrecognizable, and the girl herself has lost her memory and does not know who she is. We soon realize that the fire was planned and that one girl wanted to kill a friend. The reader, along with the heroine, will have to ask the whole book whether the killer survived or the victim? And what actually happened? A stunning book that answers one question with every page and spawns two new ones.
Ian Banks - Steps on Glass
In this book, we have as many as three storylines: the story of a young man who is incredibly in love with a girl; the story of a paranoid man who believes that he is a Martian in a human body and is being fired at by cannons from space; absolutely fantastic line. In the center of which are two elderly people who made a mistake during the War of the Galaxies and are now sitting in the Galactic "prison" and playing games to answer the riddle and get out of there. Stop, stop, stop, don't cross the book or categorize it as "weird goo," even though it really seems like that. In the end, all these lines unite and there is a completely ordinary and earthly explanation for everything, from which you will be shocked!
Yann Martel - Pi's Life
Many probably already know the plot thanks to the wonderful film adaptation - our main character, a young guy Pi, after a shipwreck finds himself in the middle of the ocean in the same boat with a Bengal tiger. It would seem, where does the unexpected ending come from, because there can be only two outcomes - he will either save himself or go to feed the fish or the tiger. But no, the author has something to surprise you. Not only is the ending shocking, but the work itself incredibly keeps you in suspense: taming a dangerous predator, a storm on a raft in the ocean, meeting a whale, getting water and food ... It's all so fascinating that you can't stop looking at the book. Until you turn the last page.
Ian McEwan - Atonement
A poignant story with much more than just an unexpected ending. The story of two lovers, whose life was unwittingly broken by one child. Throughout the book, there is a theme of atonement - how to fix irreparable harm that was done quite by accident? Is it possible to do this at all, or even life will not be enough? Every action has consequences, but how to answer for them. If you're just a naive child? A shocking story that gives you goosebumps and touches you so much that it is impossible to hold back the tears.
Joanne Harris - Gentlemen and Players
In a private English school, life goes on as usual until some small troubles begin. It looks nothing unusual, everything is the same as in every school, but an astute teacher understands that a "rat" has sneaked into the school and is trying to destroy it to the ground. A tense novel in which we plunge into the head of a madman who has accumulated his school grievances and who has devoted his whole life to revenge on this educational institution. Scary, creepy and addictive. And the cherry on the cake is the ending, which you just can't foresee.

Whats a good plot twist?
Ensure your twist is believable and necessary – and makes sense. While plot twists , by definition, are sudden, unexpected and even shocking changes of direction, they must still be realistic and sensible.
