The Last Resort is a suspense thriller where, as the reader, you slowly realise you don't know which character to trust. This is my first read of the popular thriller author Heidi Perks and I have got to say I'm pretty impressed with their writing. I enjoyed the quick, short chapters which sped the thriller on and the multiple POVs added to the uneasiness of the situation.
The characters themselves I found to be pretty unlikeable and I wish I felt more empathy for their situations as the book would have been more successful if I was more invested in the outcome. There is a lot of family trauma which is definitely the centre of this novel, it is very layered and I think you can really understand and relate to the characters' behaviours and actions.
This thriller really did keep me guessing until the end, it took so many twists and turns and I didn't see it coming.
This was a very well developed plot and I would be interested in reading some more from Heidi Perks in the future or potentially from her successful backlist.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

Thank you to NetGalley, Cornerstone and Heidi Perks for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
