Twisty and Turny!
Sadie Loman and Avery Greer had been best friends for years when Sadie’s body was found the night after a party. Police suspected that she took her own life, though Avery never believed it.
Now, a year later, Avery has decided to search for clues to prove that someone murdered her best friend.
Told in two timelines, the night of the party, and the summer after, the suspects are those who attended the party. Everyone who went had something to hide and you know what they say about secrets!
“The Last House Guest” is full of mystery, a web of lies and twists and turns galore. Unfortunately for me, this is a novel in which there was simply way too much going on and sometimes, less is more. That being said, this was a quick easy read which kept my interest from the get go. Having read all of Megan Miranda’s novels to date, “All the Missing Girls” is still my favorite. I am however a huge fan and can’t wait to see what Ms. Miranda comes up with next!
This was another fabulous buddy read with Ms. Kaceey!
Thank you to Edelweiss and NetGalley, Simon and Schuster and Megan Miranda for an arc of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
Published on Edelweiss, NetGalley and Goodreads on 4.24.19.
Will be published on Amazon on 6.18.19

Thanks so much Angela!
Right?! There was just something missing... she threw in everything but the kitchen sink and that just doesn't work! I agree about the timeline this wasn't backward but it jumped back and forth. That said you just didn't feel anything for the characters.
I agree about being sort of burnt out on the genre. I haven't read a great mystery in ages (hence why Kaceey and I have been reading a lot of women's fiction and rom coms along which literary fiction which is my favorite.) :) They are all so much better lately!
Thanks so much Brandice! I haven’t had much success this year...I’m still hoping for some good ones!
I sure hope you like this one better than I did Larry! Will be anxiously awaiting your review.
Thank you so much Ms. KAS!
Ruh roh.. if that ‘s the case.. yes, I’d say pass!
Thanks so much Bookworm!
Hope you like it better than I did Debra! Will be watching for your review!!
I am so glad that you loved it Shelby! I get why you did.. I wish I had. :(
I sincerely hope that you love it Meredith! Crossing fingers and toes.
That’s exactly how I felt Holly!. Ugh! How did you read my mind?
Thank you Ms. Deanna!
Smart girl!
Next time I’m about to give something a 5 star, I’ll remember that one Kevin!1
Thanks Ms. Kaceey!!
I would love to know your thoughts Victoria! I don’t know if it’s just Kaceey and me..
