The Last Thing I Saw

by Alex Sinclair

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour. This is the first book I have read by Alex. The blurb excited me and the original cover of the eye scared me. Perfect for a psychological thriller. I do however prefer this cover. There is something more refined about it.

Emma wakes up in a psychiatric hospital. She knows something terrible happened but her brain has repressed the memory. The story flicks between before and after the ‘event’ that led Emma to the hospital. Emma is a pretty likeable character. She’s easy to root for.

I naturally have a suspicious mind when I am reading these sorts of books so I tend not to trust anyone. I didn’t trust Emma’s husband. He seemed like he might have some shady contacts. The other person I immediately distrusted was Emma’s brother. There was something about him that made me shiver.

I really enjoyed Alex’s writing style. It was so addictive. I could feel myself getting tired but I just couldn’t stop reading. At one point I was so tired I fell asleep with my kindle still in my hand!

I was reading and reading and I noticed I was at 87% and I thought ooo this has to be unravelling soon. I kept reading and the tension in me was building and building. I knew something big was coming but I just didn’t know when. When the truth was finally unveiled I let out a big breath I hardly noticed I had been holding. I was so tense.

I’m really looking forward to more of Alex’s books in the future.
