House sitter Emma Carpenter lives in a secluded life at a beach house on the Washington coast. After leaving a one-star review on a poorly-written horror novel, Emma finds herself in an online argument with the author. When strange things begin to happen at night, Emma begins to suspect that the author might be stalking her.

Adams's thriller novel is pure adrenaline in the vein of the best horror/slasher movies. Quickly, the novel moves from "Is it the pyscho author?" to "How am I going to survive?" Honestly, I loved every minute. With a winning premise and non-stop twists and turns, The Last Word is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that is just pure fun to read.
