The Last Guests is the 3rd book of J.P's that I have read in a matter of months and it did not disappoint. πŸ‘

True to J.P's writing style, Lina and Cain are well developed and highly flawed characters with plenty of secrets. The story touches on a number of sensitive topics such as financial struggles, PTSD, addiction and infertility.

The addition of the subchapters depicting the Peephole live streams really heightened the voyeuristic elements and ramped up the suspense to a whole other level.

The plausibility behind the premise of this story is what made it super creepy and eerie for me. The idea of being watched during your most private and vulnerable moments... 😱 Ahhh gosh, it just makes my skin crawl because this kind of thing is likely happening somewhere in the world right now. I think it's going to be a while before I book a trip in someone's vacay home.

If you're in the mood for a twisty thriller that will make you ask yourself just how far you would be willing to go to attain the life you've always wanted? Then The Last Guests is a must.

Also, shoutout to J.P for that "Tell Me Lies" easter egg cleverly included on page 290 πŸ‘πŸ‘. I see what you did there πŸ˜‰
