Book Description:
Two people.
Two sides of the story.
Whose do you trust?
When Erin and Will start having couples therapy, they hope it will fix the rift that has appeared out of nowhere in their marriage.
But their therapist Maggie can’t work out whose version of the truth she can trust.
Then Erin is brought into hospital in a critical condition following a hit-and-run accident. Now everyone is desperate to unravel the truth.
Because if this isn’t an accident, then someone close to Erin must be responsible . . .
My Thoughts:
Erin and Will are happily married with no issues at all in their marriage. That all changes one day when Erin for no reason at all starts to feel scared of her husband. There is absolutely no reason for her to feel this way but she is unable to stop it. They go to counselling to see if they can resolve it but it seems to make things worse.
Maggie has her own issues which seem to surface when it comes to this couple. She doesn’t know why she is more invested in them than she has been with any other couples she has worked with but they seem to hold a link to her past and she will do anything to uncover what that link is.
The author has you second guessing everyone of which by the end, I felt bad for doubting certain characters. I had empathy for both Erin and Maggie. How Erin is feeling and acting is totally out of character for her with no one taking her seriously and seeing everything spiralling out of control, it was like a car crash waiting to happen. Maggie on the other hand is usually very composed but she lets her emotions overrule her head and I could feel myself shouting at her in my head to follow protocol and not get too close.
The Last Resort is a story that will consume you. The author does a great job of drawing you in and not letting you go. The suspense was literally killing me as to why things were happening and the direction of the story went way darker than I had imagined. The twists when they hit, wow! Totally unexpected and they stole my breath away. It’s been a while since I have read a book by this author and this was a reminder of just how good she is and will definitely be buying her other novels that I haven’t yet read.
