Caz starts off the vacation of a lifetime with her love, Pete, by stepping aboard the RMS Atlantica. The first night is loads of fun with good food and dancing, whilst making new friends, but when Caz wakes up the next morning, Pete is missing. She quickly realizes as she steps outside her cabin, that she’s entirely alone on board with no crew or other passengers.

THE LAST ONE is a locked room thriller that requires a certain suspension of belief but is wholly enrapturing, nonetheless. Locked room thrillers are some of my favorite thrillers, so this was right up my alley.

This novel is told exclusively in the POV of Caz, which due to certain environmental circumstances and situations is somewhat of an unreliable narration. The quasi-unreliable narration certainly ups the ante though.

The plot of THE LAST ONE is twisty and honestly, freaky to consider. This book is slightly too long at almost 450 pages and could have afforded more editing as the middle part of the book does experience a lull. I very much enjoyed it though! I feel like the ending left some opening for a sequel, or perhaps simply an open-end for the reader’s own interpretation. Either way, a very compelling and interesting read!
