The books started with a bang. It got a little boring and then picked back up in the middle and looked super promising. However, it lost it towards the end for me. I don’t enjoy it when everything has to be explained by one character in a couple of pages right at the end. There was also a lot of unanswered questions. Like who was it that recognised her during the first live stream? Who was giving her the advise to lift up the fireplace stone. I feel like it was a missed opportunity. It would have been perfect if it was Scotty doing both of these things. I also hate how many books have the main female character be emotionally weak. Its so tired.

This is such an amazing book, I was sucked in from the first page. My boyfriend bought it for me and I can’t wait to make him read it. The entire time you’re thinking one thing and then that twists and then you think another thing and that twists. There’s just so many twists and I actually love the way it’s done. I usually spoil in my reviews but for this book I could never, you have to read this with no idea what’s coming and get on the rollercoaster cause omg I was gasping in the train whenever I read this. It’s also so incredible reading it on the train because I’d pass the stops that were mentioned in the book as I live in Auckland. Loved feeling connected in that way. I honestly think this book is on my list of favorites and I can’t wait to try and forget it so I can read it again and be just as shocked the whole way through. You will not want to put this book down. I just can’t recommend it more.

Strapped for cash, Lina and Cain decide to put her grandfather's cabin up on WeStay, an app similar to Air BnB. Lina is apprehensive about this, and also the fact that she recently had an affair with Daniel, and he doesn't seem willing to treat it like a one-night stand like she does. Also, it would appear that a dark web site called Peephole is installing cameras into various houses for voyeurs to watch live streams, and Lina's cabin might just be one of them. This could lead to Lina's secrets being uncovered...and some much worse other things!
Boy, was this one predictable. It's a little better than a lot of thrillers being released these days, but not by much. No matter how hard the author tried, he couldn't convince me that this would end any other way than the way it did. It was just soooo predictable. Predictable, predictable, predictable. Did I mention it was predictable? If you've never read a thriller before, this may spring a surprise on you, but anyone else will comfortably figure out how this will end. Pomare's writing is good in that it kept me involved despite the fact that I could tell how things would play out or that I didn't find Lina to be all that likeable or sympathetic.
Did I mention how overwhelmingly predictable this was? I'll probably check out another book by Pomare, but I hope it isn't as by-the-numbers as this one was.

The Last Guests perfectly highlighted how comfortable we all are being watched - but that we don’t always know who’s watching. The twists and turns kept me guessing right to the very end, and I’m even still a little confused about who was the true mastermind… All in all, a great read that had me desperately Googling “how to spot hidden cameras in my AirBnB”!
