Last Words by Michael Koryta
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up!
This was a solid novel: twist and turns, action-packed adventure, and quite relatable characters. I found myself feeling empathy for pretty much damn near everyone by the end - Markus, Julianne, Ridley, Evan, the police chief..... due to the back story that Koryta created for them all, I could understand why they behaved the ways they did. I really like learning more about the characters as the book progressed - often times things were revealed that totally contradicted what I had thought based on first impressions of a character.
I do not like confined spaces so the scenes taking place in Trapdoor made me quite uncomfortable at times but thankfully there were only minimal scenes underground.
I personally think it could've used some romance or spice but alas, not that kind of book.
