The next morning, she wakes to discover that everyone else on board has disappeared.
And that's just the beginning. Caz must prepare for a crossing that will be anything but plain sailing ...
The Last Passenger is my first book by Will Dean so I went
into this storyline with no expectations and yet what I found myself immersed
in was completely unexpected and thrilling, it is certainly one that plays with
your mind and gets the adrenaline pumping.
When Caz wakes up on the first morning aboard the Atlantica
to find all of the passengers have disappeared my mind was all of a sudden
racing through various scenarios along with Caz as to what on earth could have
happened, a hostage attempt, Alien invasion or something as innocent as she has
slept through the disembark but I couldn’t have been further from the truth and
what lay ahead was quite simply a living nightmare.
It was completely unpredictable and where we are constantly
in the dark tensions run high not just for our characters but for the reader
too. Each time I thought surely not ….. it surely did! I did find that the
constant referring back to Caz’s background got a little tedious in the second half
of the book and I got a little frustrated and just wanted to focus on what was
going on onboard in the current time.
What I loved the most about this book is that it is unlike anything
I have read before and this new concept made this book so addictive and my attention
didn’t waiver at any point I was desperate to see how on earth this living hell
was going to end, and what an ending it was! I am wondering if it has been left
open for a sequel or if the author is just playing with us.
The authors writing style makes for fast reading so you will
find yourself whisked away in this storyline. I was certainly gripped by this
storyline and I am off to find my next Will Dean book now.
