It pains me to write negative reviews, but Every Last Fear was a disappointment. The way the chapters jump around between five different characters, all in 3rd person narrations, made them very difficult to connect to or really care about at all. I believe it would have been a better book if Matt was the sole narrator. I really just didn’t care about what Matt’s father, mother, sister, or even Agent Keller had to say. I would have been more invested in the story if I had really gotten to know any of the

I couldn’t have enjoyed this book more.
Although the plot was what caught my attention to pick this book up, it was the characters that hooked me enough to finish it in one day.

I adored the relationship the Pines had with each other, even though sometimes it was questionable, and thought their love, bond and devotion to one another was nothing short of what family really means. Even though I already knew 4 of them were dead — it’s the premise to the whole thing — reading those chapters about their deaths was really heartbreaking to me. Evan Pine’s the most.

The killer reveal wasn’t show-stopping because I’d kinda guessed early on, but it was still interesting to see the character’s motives behind it.

All in all, this was a really great read. And knowing this is a debut just made me excited for the author’s future books!
