Last Day Alive by Jeneva Rose
4.0
This is book two in the Detective Kimberley King series. Ten year old Piper, who lives with her grandparents is suddenly missing and then turns up dead. It’s a murder with no leads for quite sometime. Every path brings the detective to a dead end it seems, from camp counselors to neighbors, to family, the detective is looking at everyone. Then, Piper’s best friend Miley goes missing...
The POV in this book changes back and forth from time to time. Most chapters are from the detective’s point of view, but some are the killer detailing their acts. As I read the chapters from the killer’s POV, it felt like watching an episode of Dexter when he narrated what he was doing and why, recounting moments. The ending on this book was nothing like the first. I had things pretty much figured out with the first book but not this one! The ending came completely out of left field! Also, with the new introduction of a possible love interest named Caleb, I was left with some serious loose ends questions. I am excited to see what the next book in the series brings!
⚠️TW: murder, abuse
