THE PULSE-POUNDING NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK THRILLER SENSATION NO EXIT



Emma enjoys the isolation and quiet of house-sitting. The only company she needs is her dog and her books.

But when she leaves a one-star review for a poorly written and gruesome horror novel, her peaceful escape turns into a nightmare. Not only is she being harassed by the angry author online, she’s noticing disturbing incidents in the house. Scratches in the night. A figure crawling around in the shadows.

It soon becomes clear that it’s all connected.

This is a fight between author and reader. Who will have the last word? . . .

Expect the unexpected in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of the TikTok sensation No Exit.

Riley Sager, internationally bestselling author of THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE
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!
Susi Holliday, author of THE HIKE
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
Daily Mail
The suspense ratchets up ... Roars along like a roller-coaster on speed
Observer
Adams is great on building suspense ... Definitely five stars (not that I'd dare to give it any less)
