The Last Guests  By J.P. Pomare

Lina and Cain are newlyweds living a seemingly normal life.  He’s fought for his country and she’s a paramedic.  They are good people. Caring. Wholesome. [Yawn.]  I hear you – who wants to read about baking for school fairs, or how to polish a halo?  No.  What we really want is a bit of… muck.

Plump your armchair.

Imagine booking an idyllic holiday home in pretty rural New Zealand.  Haven’t we all done that?  But what if a group of online deviants and voyeurs were watching your every move?

The sweet little earner Lina and Cain think they’re onto when they list Lina’s childhood home as a casual rental kick starts a series of events that sees the couple spiral out of control. Secrets and deceit are around every corner.  Are their lies beneficial to the other or not?  Will they save their relationship by hiding the truth?

Disturbing, mind-twisting and utterly engrossing, this is a psychological thriller you won’t be able to put down.

PS.  This review is not intended for you to cancel your holiday home booking !
