Never have I ever rooted for a character as hard as I rooted for Emma in The Last Word. With every chapter, Adams adds pace and higher stakes until it's brimming. It's chilling, suspenseful, an absolutely storming thriller. I inhaled it'
Compulsively readable, The Last Word is as entertaining as a Goosebumps book or an 80s slasher film. This book puts the 'thriller in 'thriller' while showing us what it means for history (or herstory to be written by the victor
A white-knuckle, read-in-a-sitting thrill ride. In THE LAST WORD, Taylor Adams ratchets up the tension to an unbearable pitch--then keeps going. Thriller fans, take note: You need to read this book!
With a core of grief at its heart, this is a high-octane, twisted and fun thriller that will make you question those times you dared to give a 1-star review
The suspense ratchets up ... Roars along like a roller-coaster on speed
Adams is great on building suspense ... Definitely five stars (not that I'd dare to give it any less)
