Her Final Victim- N.J Moss -psychological thriller

Jamie is at a nightclub and sees a woman he takes a fancy to. After not touching

the drink he bought for her, she takes a call and makes her excuses to leave.

Jamie, rather intrigued, follows her to the point of finding her front door

unlocked when she has gone through it a few minutes beforehand. When he

then explores the house, he finds rather more than he ever expected. Millie

has had her sights on Jamie and knows his secret, however she has more

than a few of her own. She expertly pops up in front of Jamie and his wife

Hazel when he least expects it- at his bosses dinner partly. Just who is

hunting and plotting against who?

This is a difficult and dark read in some early parts ( and perhaps *trigger

warning* for some ) as Millicent had rather a depraved upbringing as part

of a cult type group where “no one belongs to anyone but did” and

“where nothing was wrong or right it just was”. Occasional chapters take

us back to Millie's upbringing and the very strange and dark ways of the

cult group. Other chapters are from Millie, Jamie’s and Hazel’s perspectives. 

A macabre tale of deceit and how easily some can be influenced by others

and the need to be popular. Of how “like” does not have to be included in

every sentence ( thank you!),of cults and conditioning . A tale of characters

from deceitful and despicable to naive and trending-a wonderful

second book from NJ Moss that through all the darkness comes into….

. I won’t spoil anything- you’ll need to read it to find out! A cleverly thought

out- very well plotted read with twists and turns along the way. Captivating,

despicable- but a real page turner.
