A review by kmesser
The Last Word by Taylor Adams
4.0
The Last Word is everything I want in a summer thriller. This book is fast paced, fun, raises your blood pressure and keeps you turning the pages needing to know what happens next. Now, I'm not a huge thriller reader, and this one requires you to suspend disbelief, but if you can do that, you will have a blast.
Emma is housesitting a home for the summer with Laika, the world's best golden retriever, while she lives in insolation working through some grief. One of her coping mechanisms is to read amazon review books. One day she reads a terrible horror novel and leaves a negative review, causing the author to contact her and threaten her into removing the review. When Emma refuses, the author takes matters into his own hands. The action starts almost immediately and I had to know what happened to the point of reading this within 24 hours.
For the animal lovers out there, the dog does not die and there are some trigger warnings for animal harm. I want to be completely transparent that there were tough parts involving Laika to read and if you are sensitive to that at all, please proceed with caution.
All in all a solid summer thriller and so much fun to read.
