emotional sad tense fast-paced

Wow. The Last Thing to Burn is an incredible book. The tense tale of ‘Jane’, imprisoned by a man who holds himself out as her husband. It is a brutal story but Will Dean’s skill is in keeping the reader absolutely enthralled and appalled in equal measure. I read it in a day and really couldn’t put it down.

Having read and enjoyed Will Dean’s Tuva Moodyson books, The Last Thing to Burn takes the tension up several notches and also masterfully tackles a very difficult topic. I would highly recommend this book. It’s a rare 5* from me.

Thanks to Netgalley and Hodder and Stoughton for an ARC in consideration of an honest review.
