The Last Thing to Burn by Will Dean
4.0

⭐️ 3.5 ⭐️

The Last Thing to Burn is certainly a compelling read; I just couldn’t put it down. I was gripped from the first page and desperately needed to know what was going to happen next.

The book is well-written and the characters are well-drawn but I wasn’t completely convinced by the voice of ‘Jane’, I didn’t find her narrative particularly authentic.

It is a dark, disturbing, read with a chilling, claustrophobic sense of atmosphere but unfortunately I thought it became quite repetitive. I was also a little disappointed with the ending; for me too many questions were left unanswered and too many loose ends were left untied.

An enjoyable read. I really liked it, I just didn’t love it.
