A review by theomancy
Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

A lot more of a psychological horror mystery than Starling's other books, in comparison to the action packed Jane Lawrence and the Luminous Dead. I really enjoyed this, and it may be the most well constructed of her books that I've read, but I'm not sure it tops the list as my favorite 🤔
