Review: The Last Girl

The Last Girl by Kitty Thomas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I've had mixed feelings with this story. I couldn't decide whether to give it 4 or 5 stars. From the beginning I wasn't sure if Christian would change for the better or how Juliette would change from him taking her. That is something that attracts me to Kitty Thomas' writing. The way that humans and predators/captors (in this book vampires) think about the world and what they do as well as how they change. Do they ever realize that what they're doing is wrong or do they know it's wrong from the beginning but they just don't care?

Juliette was doomed from the moment she met Christian because at that moment Christian knew there was nothing to stop him from taking her when the time was right. The more that he grew to care for Juliette, the more she realized that she wouldn't live without him either despite everything he'd done and everything he was capable of. Her thought processes through all of this didn't bother me like it did in certain other books. Some of the things that Christian did to her because he knew he would make her okay in the end, disturbed me.

Overall I'd probably give this around 3.75 stars!
