A review by travelseatsreads
The Last Passenger by Will Dean

4.0

Welcome aboard the wild ride that is The Atlantica. Settle in, unpack your luggage and get ready to set sail. Now, imagine waking up in your bedroom on this cruise of a lifetime to find that not only is your partner gone but you’re also the only person left on the boat, stranded at sea. 

The Last Passenger is a fast paced pager turner with almost a dystopian feel, which I think is best described as a locked room thriller meets Squid Games. The book follows the protagonist Caz as the terrifying unimaginable events unfold and with the format of her first person POV it is hard not to feel every single ounce of anxiety she experiences.

A dark, claustrophobic and twisted book which looks at morality, human nature and just how far people will go when pushed. Full of tension, wave after wave of twists and so many moments that will leave the hairs on the back of your neck bolt upright. As for that ending, pure genius from Dean. A must read for those who like to be genuinely terrified but maybe not one to read if you’re planning to go on a cruise anytime soon.
