Crime/thriller isn’t my usual genre, but a solid story about found family on the background of growing up in a cult.

A slower burn then the author's last one. And it just... ended.

⭐ 5 Stars (4.5 rounded up)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this thrilling and addictive read!


Told in both present and past timelines, Our Last Resort pulled me in from the very first page. The pacing was relentless, keeping me completely on edge and making me genuinely anxious—in the best way. The writing is sharp and immersive, building tension with every chapter as secrets from the past slowly unravel and crash into the present.


I loved how the dual timelines seamlessly wove together, deepening the suspense and creating a layered story that was impossible to put down. The characters were brilliantly complex, and the desert resort setting added such an eerie, atmospheric vibe.


📖 Blurb: A luxurious desert resort becomes the backdrop for a gripping tale of secrets, betrayal, and survival. As the past collides with the present, nothing is as it seems, and every choice could be deadly.


This is a fast-paced, anxiety-inducing must-read that will keep you up late at night turning pages. Perfect for fans of The Quiet Tenant and psychological thrillers that deliver both twists and emotional depth!

I was REALLY locked it, this book was really great and captivating. However I found the ending kind of disappointing and there were some details I wish were expanded on
