Last One Out

De: Steph Nelson

Narrado por: Leslie Howard

Perfect for fans of Noelle Ihli and Stacy Willingham, this chilling, riveting thriller unravels the dark secrets behind Chloe Webster’s disappearance and her shocking return twenty-five years later, as her cousin Frankie races to uncover a truth more terrifying than she could imagine.

Chloe Webster is supposed to be dead.

She vanished twenty-five years ago—the night her two friends were brutally murdered at an isolated hot springs. At least…that’s what everyone believes.

Everyone except Chloe’s cousin, Frankie, who never gave up hope that she was alive.

When Chloe unexpectedly shows up at her own annual memorial event, Frankie is overjoyed. But this isn’t the reunion she had imagined. Chloe has no memory of that night in 1999—or her life before her disappearance.

Then Frankie starts getting cryptic messages that imply Chloe knows more than she’s letting on. Frankie wants to trust her cousin, but even more, she wants answers to the questions that have plagued her for decades.

But what if the truth is worse than she could possibly imagine? Is it worth uncovering it at any cost?

Decent Thriller with Dark Twist

Enjoyable thriller with present and past rotational storyline. Keeps you guessing to a degree. Hit the ground running, but that momentum fizzles out a bit. Keeps you hooked enough to want to finish. Missing some sharp wit. Main character has been without her cousin for so long, it’s a lot for her to still hold onto as her person and connection in life. She’s stunted and I would think in her 40s, she would have developed more as a character. She’s got this drive and her view of the town and world around her would have very much changed. She could have been a bit edgier and more fun. I wanted to root for her more and not find her as annoying as I did.

My rating really drives around the opening of the story and perhaps the possibilities. I did enjoy future Chloe overall. I wish they did a lot more with the boyfriend as well, lost opportunity for some humor there as well.

I’m picky- this book is UNREAL!!

Performance needs to be sped up to 1.5 or 1.1; much better!And the story itself could have been just another twisty thriller - I normally can figure out a plot- not this one at all!!! Unreal!

Not what I thought.

The characters thought out process are extremely naïve and annoying. I wanted to like this book but fell short. I liked the story line just not how the characters acted.
