THE PULSE-POUNDING NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK THRILLER SENSATION NO EXIT

Emma is house-sitting on the rainy Washington coast with only her golden retriever for company. She likes the isolation, the peace and quiet, and the opportunity to read.

But her latest pick, a poorly written and gruesome horror novel, is disappointing and Emma leaves a one-star review. A message dings back - the author, H.G. Kane, has replied and he's furious. Emma brushes it off, until disturbing incidents start to occur. Scratches in the night. A figure crawling around in the shadows.

Kane has written sixteen other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder. He knows he's a brilliant writer - he just needs to make Emma understand...

Expect the unexpected in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of the TikTok sensation No Exit.

Reviews
Never have I ever rooted for a character as hard as I rooted for Emma in The Last Word. With every chapter, Adams adds pace and higher stakes until it's brimming. It's chilling, suspenseful, an absolutely storming thriller. I inhaled it' * L.V. Matthews, author of THE TWINS *
Compulsively readable, The Last Word is as entertaining as a Goosebumps book or an 80s slasher film. This book puts the 'thriller in 'thriller' while showing us what it means for history (or herstory to be written by the victor * Vikki Patis, author of RETURN TO BLACKWATER HOUSE *
A white-knuckle, read-in-a-sitting thrill ride. In THE LAST WORD, Taylor Adams ratchets up the tension to an unbearable pitch--then keeps going. Thriller fans, take note: You need to read this book! * Riley Sager, internationally bestselling author of THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE *
With a core of grief at its heart, this is a high-octane, twisted and fun thriller that will make you question those times you dared to give a 1-star review * Susi Holliday, author of THE HIKE *
The suspense ratchets up ... Roars along like a roller-coaster on speed * Daily Mail *
Adams is great on building suspense ... Definitely five stars (not that I'd dare to give it any less) * Observer *
