"Immediate, intense, gripping, taut, terrifying, moving, and brilliant." --Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Invisible Girl
"Brilliantly written...terrifying."--Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One by One
A woman being held captive is willing to risk everything to save herself, her unborn child, and her captor's latest victim in this "intense, dark, and utterly chilling" (Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts) thriller in the tradition of Misery and Room.
On an isolated farm in the United Kingdom, a woman is trapped by the monster who kidnapped her seven years ago. When she discovers she is pregnant, she resolves to protect her child, no matter the cost, and starts to meticulously plot her escape. But when another woman is brought into the fold on the farm, her plans go awry. Can she save herself, her child, and this innocent woman at the same time? Or is she doomed to spend the remainder of her life as a captive?
Intense, dark, and utterly gripping The Last Thing to Burn "explores the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of unfathomable evil. This harrowing journey is one worth taking" (Publishers Weekly).

Whew, couldn’t put this one down. I loved this story of a Vietnamese girl who was abducted and imprisoned for years. A quick read, a page turner.
This book was really good. It started out a little slow but then picked up it's pace. It was intense and gut wrenching at times and I'd definitely read the trigger warnings before starting this one. Overall, it was a good read.
Absolutely thrilling and devastating. Beautifully written, but check trigger warnings for sure. Will stay with me for a LONG time. Women are so strong!
A good book that will be loved by all who love the kidnapping trope. I enjoyed it and was completely invested in the character, but felt it became repetitious. An entertaining read, no doubt!
Captivating! All the best books I’ve read all year. I could not put it down.
