The Last Word
After posting a negative book review, a woman living in a remote location begins to wonder if the author is a little touchy - or very, very dangerous - in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of TikTok sensation No Exit.
Emma is house-sitting on the rainy Washington coast with only her golden retriever for company. She likes the isolation, the peace and quiet, and the opportunity to read.
But her latest pick, a poorly written and gruesome horror novel, is disappointing and Emma leaves a one-star review. A message dings back - the author, H.G. Kane, has replied and he's furious. Emma brushes it off, until disturbing incidents start to occur. Scratches in the night. A figure crawling around in the shadows.
Kane has written sixteen other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder. He knows he's a brilliant writer - he just needs to make Emma understand...
Expect the unexpected in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of the TikTok sensation No Exit.
Review
Compulsively readable, The Last Word is as entertaining as a Goosebumps book or an 80s slasher film. This book puts the 'thriller in 'thriller' while showing us what it means for history (or herstory to be written by the victor ― Vikki Patis, author of RETURN TO BLACKWATER HOUSE
A white-knuckle, read-in-a-sitting thrill ride. In THE LAST WORD, Taylor Adams ratchets up the tension to an unbearable pitch--then keeps going. Thriller fans, take note: You need to read this book! ― Riley Sager, internationally bestselling author of THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE
With a core of grief at its heart, this is a high-octane, twisted and fun thriller that will make you question those times you dared to give a 1-star review ― Susi Holliday, author of THE HIKE
The suspense ratchets up ... Roars along like a roller-coaster on speed ― Daily Mail
Adams is great on building suspense ... Definitely five stars (not that I'd dare to give it any less) ― Observer
