I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This review is spoiler-free.

The older I get, the more rare it is that I'll stay up until 4am reading a good book. So when I say that The Last House on Needless Street not only kept me up until 4am, I also sat in the bath long after the water went old to finish it, that really means something.

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to talking about this book. It's weird and twisted and totally compelling -- I've never really read anything like it. I can see this one being hit or miss for readers (it is, after all, very strange -- one of the POV characters is a cat), however I just absolutely loved it. I couldn't put it down!

I don't want to say too much about this one because you should know as little as possible going in, but pick up The Last House on Needless Street if you're looking for a messed up, twisted, and totally unique thriller. Not for the faint of heart.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

CW: Child abuse, lots and lots of trauma
