Really don’t connect with this writing style.

Author doesn’t know how to write an intriguing page. A yawn fest and waste of money. Please replace author with chatbot

I really liked this book. Actually scared me and made me feel on edge. I loved the unraveling. Had to skip over some descriptive paragraphs that didn’t need to be in there and the end was left me wanting something more or less but I really did love it. Loved the layering within it

Mostly a really fun, really scary read. It definitely lost me toward the end, the conclusion was pretty unsatisfying and didn’t really mesh with the vibe of the rest of the book. Still, everything up to the last couple chapters was great. I’d definitely recommend it, just temper your expectations for the ending.

I found this story gripping until I got toward the end. I get that it’s a supernatural horror story, but the events just got pretty outrageous in the context of the earlier parts of the book. The writing is good. I found the author’s voice surprisingly different than in The Ritual. Not better or worse (it’s great in both), just appropriately more direct with the character’s thoughts and history in this one.

I have had Nevill on my want to read list for awhile. Then the adaptation of The Ritual was on Netflix. I thought it was very scary. So then I picked Last Days to read first. The subject matter was so interesting. As soon as I began I didn’t want to put it down. Lots of scary evil stuff happening with great characters. This book was awesome. The way Nevill described the “Blood friends” put very vivid images in my mind and creeped me the heck out. Thank you Mr. Nevill for something so original and scary.

I liked Last Days so much that I read it twice. It was even better the second time because I was able to get every little detail. The plot and characters hang together in a sensible, credible realism that doesn't get silly like so many horror books tend to do.
