The Last Guests is J.P Pomare’s latest book and it is phenomenal! The suspense and thrill of the story is right back up there with his debut book Call Me Evie. A newly wed couple, Lina and Cain, decided that they would rent out their holiday home in Lake Tarawera on an Air BnB like website as they don’t use it as much as they would like, and they needed some extra money. What they don’t realise is that there are people from an illegal streaming platform on the internet that are sneaking into peoples houses and setting up cameras. Strange things start happening at the house and Lina feels like she is being watched and secrets start to come out. I am a huge fan of Pomare’s writing but I personally thought that even though his last couple of books have been great they just haven’t been at the same standard as Call me Evie, until now. What makes this book so scary is that there have been real life cases where people have been spied on in rental accommodation. This story could be true. I would definitely think twice about reading this book on holiday, it would make me super paranoid I was being watched. I read The Last Guests in pretty much one sitting as I couldn’t put it down. This book is an absolute five star read!
