i just love when the main character is an unreliable narrator and also The Worst Person Ever!!

the way this was written was very fun, very unique, and sufficiently creepy. i'd honestly have finished it last night if i hadn't been too freaked out in my dark, empty apartment to continue it.

6 ungodly enjoyable stars!
this is hands down the best horror/suspense novel I have read in years. if not ever.
Jason Arnopp is a badass, and in Jack Sparks he has created the epitome of the character you love to hate.
I only wish I could go back and read it again for the first time.

I was a fan of the unreliable narrator elements but they seemed to drop off after a bit and I felt we were left with an unlikable main character for a bit too long

The Last Days of Jack Sparks is a truly wild ride that I could not put down! Jack Sparks is one of the most selfish people on earth but also happens to be a social media star and journalist. While working on his new book to prove the supernatural isn’t real he finds himself entangled in some truly evil paranormal phenomena and his only way to survive is to come to terms with the fact ghosts are real and he’s an asshole. 

I loved this book!! Full of interesting characters, a main character that you love to hate, and supernatural phenomenon told through a social media lense made this hard to put  down for me. 

There are so many elements going on, and I don’t want to give anything away but if you’re looking for a great supernatural horror novel with an unreliable narrator and dark humor pick this one up!! I’m still thinking about this book and probably will for a long time!
