I really enjoyed this! Mystery/psychological thriller that had me trusting none of the characters and doubting everything that everyone said! I liked the journey from the past and the current therapy sessions from the perspectives of Will and Erin (married couple) and their therapist Maggie.

I really enjoyed this book, not too many characters so really easy to keep track of who is who. Lots of twists and turns that I really didn’t see coming. Towards the end I couldn’t put it down.

"The Last Resort" by Heidi Perks is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Without giving away any spoilers, I can tell you that the story revolves around a couple, Erin and Will, who find themselves in a marriage on the brink. When they decide to seek couples therapy with Maggie, their therapist, the narrative takes off into a world of uncertainty and doubt.
The story is told from multiple perspectives and different timelines, which adds layers of complexity to the narrative. It keeps you guessing, and I couldn't help but wonder who was telling the truth. The twists and red herrings in the plot are masterfully done, making it a true page-turner.
What I particularly loved about "The Last Resort" was the depth of character development. Erin's vulnerability and Will's denial felt incredibly real, making it easy to get emotionally invested. The uncertainty surrounding their relationship keeps you guessing, and Maggie's complex character adds an extra layer of intrigue.
The story's pacing is expertly done, with well-placed hints and twists that will keep you turning the pages late into the night. The ending will leave you eagerly waiting for more. It's a cliffhanger that's both frustrating and tantalizing.
In a nutshell, "The Last Resort" is a must-read for fans of domestic dramas and psychological thrillers. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a story that keeps you guessing and challenges your perception of reality. If you're a fan of authors like Clare Mackintosh or Lisa Jewell, this book is right up your alley. Heidi Perks has crafted a compelling book that will leave you craving more. It's a five-star read that I can't recommend highly enough.

This book is thoroughly entertaining and an exciting page-turner. I found myself flipping over the pages faster to find out the what on earth was going on. I did find the characters and storyline slightly challenging. This made it a bit more difficult to fully engage with and believe in the story. There are still a few unanswered questions at the back of my mind. Ultimately the book is an impressive effort and I loved the author.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more books by the Heidi Perks.
