First, I want to thank J.R. Adler, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
OHHH SNAP!!! This book was GOOD!! J.R. Adler I am a new fan of yours! I was intently glued to my Kindle reading Last Day Alive! The storylines were incredibly twisted, fascinating, and had mind blowing shocking revelations! This is a book that should be added to your TBR List!
Last Day Alive is J.R.’s second book in her Detective Kimberly King Series. It can be read as a standalone or part of the series. I mention this because I read this as a standalone and was able to follow along. However, reading this book I now wish I read the first one. You better believe I will be reading the next one in the series.
WOW!! J.R. Has a way with words when painting a picture in our heads of the graphic scenes. It was the intensity of that scene that hooked me into the book.
I loved how fast paced the book was and if you blinked you would miss something!
2 ½ year old Jessica pulled on my heartstrings with her baby talk! She was just too cute for words! There were some comical moments with her.
There was one scene in the book where I was literally yelling into my Kindle! This situation with Kimberly’s stepfather rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways. I was furious with this situation! I was team Kimberly for this one all the way!
Missing person cases are one of my fave genres to read. This one was different from the rest. J.R. Pulled out all of the raw emotions from all of the characters to make it a great read. There was one scene that pops out to me that literally shattered my heart into a million different pieces. It was a scene that was difficult for me to read and the character to be a part in.
J.R. Let’s her readers get a glimpse into this individual's sick and twisted mind who had captured these girls. Oh how juicy of a read that aspect of the story was.
Ohh how there were so many heart-wrenching stories within the main storyline that will keep you on your toes!
J.R. Brings awareness to many important issues in this book.
There are so many twists and turns you better hold on tight to your seat!!
I had to smile when I saw J.R. 's character moved from Upstate, NY. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY.
Last Day Alive has a totally unpredictable very climatic ending that I was shaking my head at! Just WOW!! What an ending to an amazing read!!
