Thanks to NetGalley I found a new author I like! I love when this happens. This book was intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happened and guessing what happened. I really enjoyed the perspectives of multiple characters throughout and how it unfolded in real time as well as several months back and the timeline kept shifting to try and give the reader a little peak into what happened as you tried to figure it out alongside the detective. Really well written. I'll definitely be checking out more of Alex Finlay's books.

This book has a lot going on, and pulls you in from the very beginning. Four members of the Pine family are found dead while on vacation in Mexico. The only remaining members of the family are Matt and Danny. Danny is in prison for killing his teenage girlfriend. Matt has been estranged from his brother ever since, but their father never stopped trying to prove Danny's innocence. As Matt prepares to go to Mexico to claim his family's bodies, the Mexican police say there was no foul play, but the FBI thinks differently. Could their deaths have anything to do with trying to get Danny out of jail?

This was a page turner from start to finish. A great story with even better developed characters. I definitely recommend, and will be lookig for more from this author.

Had me on my toes from the first page. Clever, dark and surprising. Great read. From the onset, it seems as though you know what's happening and who killed the family of 3. Like most great mystery novels, you quickly find out that you're wrong. I loved the suspense and the character building. Can't wait to read Finlay's next book!

I had high hopes for this book based on the premise. The plot moved at a decent pace and kept me engaged, but unfortunately the ending felt a bit to rushed for me. I also had some concerns regarding the way Mexico and Mexican people were portrayed in the first half of the story. It felt unnecessary.

After seeing this book everywhere, unfortunately it did not live up to some of the hype I had seen.

You can’t go wrong with any Alex Finlay book! And this was no exception! Love love loved this! Hooked me from page one.

This book alternates between the present, when Matt Pine is dealing with the death of his entire family (minus his brother who is in prison for murder), and the recent past events leading up to the family's deaths. This made it feel more sad than thrilling for me, just utterly tragic and wasteful. I suppose I should expect more pathos given how much I like books about murder, but this one just didn't strike quite the right note with me--I just really wanted the family to live! I did enjoy the present scenes with Matt and Agent Keller. Mostly unsurprising reveal, but overall an engaging read and I would check this author out again.

Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay is a great book that really pulled me in. There were so many twists and turns, and what might have seemed apparent at first, turned out completely differently. Highly recommend.

Non stop action in this psychological thriller. When a family once made infamous by a true crime documentary is found dead, everything starts to unravel as the sole surviving son is left to uncover the truth about his family’s final days.

Once I got into the story about halfway through, I started to enjoy it more than the beginning. I just think there was too much going on to keep up with at times because of all the different characters trying to figure out who killed who. However, I am excited to read more from this author because I do see the potential and think the writing itself was pretty good. Thank you for the chance to read and review this book.

What a compelling and heartbreaking book. I thought the use of multiple perspectives was very well done - while Matt and (Agent) Sarah Keller were the main characters in the current timeline, I appreciated getting to know each of the Pines "before", understanding their motivations and how things ended up this way. Of course, this made their deaths (introduced at the beginning of the book) even more painful. It's not often that a thriller has me tearing up, but this book did. Some of the twists were a bit predictable (at least to me), but that didn't take away from any of the intrigue as there was still plenty keeping me interested.

suspenseful thriller that had me hooked from the start, I can't believe it took me this long to read it, it's a mixture of story and true crime tv show which is something I love to read in a book if it's done right and this one is 100 % done right. The entire time I was reading I kept asking myself who and why would they want the family die. Page by page kept me on the edge of my set.

I enjoyed this one! A really good thriller with fab writing. The characters were awesome and I loved how unique the plot was

A suspenseful thriller than you don't want to put down. I enjoyed reading from the multiple POV in the story. Definitely some good twists and turns along the way. Ending was pretty good althought it felt a little predictable in some ways. Overall a fast read and good page turner.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

A very good read. It starts off with a bang and keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more.. I highly recommend this book!

Matt's entire family, minus his brother in prison for murder, is dead. They died in their rental house in Mexico while on an impromptu vacation. Through several twists and turns, we learn what really happened to them and the truth about that awful night that landed Danny in prison and the subject of a true crime documentary. This book was really good, I liked Matt and his friends, as well as FBI Agent Keller. The family dynamic was a good one and I was sad they all met such an untimely end. All in all this was a great thriller, and I didn't suspect the final result.

I have been CRAVING a fantastic thriller and Alex Finlay DELIVERS in this fast-paced novel. It opens up immediately and is incredibly dark in subject matter (an entire family is found dead). There are multiple POVs and timelines but it's done extremely well without confusion - I never had an issue following along. The story is revealed with twists along the way and wraps up beautifully. You won't be able to put this one down.

It's hard to believe that this is Alex Finlay's debut book. I had a really hard time putting this book down and really enjoyed it. I found it to be high paced and filled with twists and turns. I did not expect the ending, which is always perfect because I hate a book where it is very transparent on who the murderer is from the beginning.

Every Last Fear has multiple narrators and it does have time jumps from past to present. I found this to be confusing at times because I found it difficult to keep track of everything going on and to keep it straight.

I'm sometimes not a fan of multiple points of view and more than one timeline. I enjoyed this book and it was strong on the family tragedy/thriller aspects. The beginning and ending were strong, yet I feel the in between lulled a bit. Overall a solid thriller!

Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay

“You have two choices when you’re confronted with your every last fear:

Give up or fight like hell.”

This story starts off with a shocking first line..."They found the bodies on a Tuesday" you are immediately shocked by these beautiful young families found dead in their vacation home in Mexico. They are all frozen in time, killed by a gas leak in the middle of the night...seems simple, an open and close case, but there is so much more to this story.

We quickly learn there are two bothers that were not with the family, Matt, a college student that couldnt get away for the last minute trip; and Danny, the oldest son in jail for murder.

This was fast paced and hard to put down. I was sucked into the complex family's story. We get to hear the story from most of their perspectives, and with that we can learn a lot. This story kept me on my toes! I loved that it switched between the current time line and before the death of the family. The ending did get a little convoluted but overall I loved the story.

I can't wait to read more by Finlay, this was a great first thriller.

The premise of the book intrigued me and the first half kept my interest but then there were too many characters to keep it all straight. The ending was a surprise and was well done. Be aware that there are a number of negative stereotypes portrayed. Danny’s story was very interesting.
