Critics Review

From the get-go, it gripped me, and since the last page I’ve been haunted

Kept me awake until 2am. A triumph

Gripped me by the heart as much as it did by the throat

A riveting novel, often grim, even terrifying, but through it all I was reminded that even in the darkest times, love and human decency can survive

Brave, brutal and brilliant

Bleakly beautiful. A raw emotional depth charge of a novel

Crackles and sparks… the author’s gifts of imagination and narrative verve are present on every page

Beautifully written and terrifying, LAST ONES LEFT ALIVE will leave you reeling, not only from its originality and searing vision, but also from the humanity of the relationships portrayed
