“In a story, the author is God.”

Emma is dealing with, or avoiding dealing with, all that life has thrown her way. She has isolated herself and set about reading free and 99 cent books off of Amazon. The book that her only neighbor recommends is Murder Mountain and it was just sooooooo bad. She couldn’t stop herself from writing a scathing one-star review. When the author requests she change it, a series of events kicks off that leaves Emma fighting for her life while reckoning with her past. 

“She cupped her fingers to the glass, squinting out into acres of coastal prairie. Searching for her killer.” 

The Last Word is not for the faint of heart. It’s a heart pounding horror novel that will keep you up at night and looking around the corner in a dark room. Just like his book No Exit, this book had me on edge, but I loved it. Adams’ work gives me the same feelings I had as an early teen when I started reading Stephen King. So creepy good!
