Advance Praise
"Clémence Michallon is a genuine talent, with a gift for unexpected angles, finding fresh ways of approaching even the darkest subjects that make them feel reinvigorated and daring. You come to Michallon for beautiful, thought-provoking prose and deep characterization. In Our Last Resort, she finds tenderness in a story about cults, dreaminess, and compassion in the lengths to which people will go to save themselves." Ashley Winstead, Midnight is the Darkest Hour
"With a chilling cult backstory that feels ripped from the headlines and a complicated heroine you can't help rooting for, Our Last Resort is both an immersive mystery and a haunting exploration of just how far we'll go to protect those we hold most dear." Andrea Bartz, We Were Never Here and The Last Ferry Out
"Clémence Michallon lures readers in with a luxurious, lush setting, her beautiful prose and a distant crime before dropping a bombshell. Thought-provoking and shocking, Our Last Resort tests the bounds of family and reminds us that, no matter how hard we try, we can never forget our past. Readers will be thinking about this one for a long time! A perfect summer read." Mary Kubica, She's Not Sorry
"A tale of childhood survival wrapped around a psychological whodunnit, Our Last Resort is a taut and twisty exploration of how far we might go to save the people we love the most. Clémence Michallon is the real deal; from her nuanced characters to her hypnotic prose, readers who enjoyed her dazzling debut will be delighted to find that her sophomore novel packs the same powerful punch." Stacy Willingham, Forget Me Not

*Our Last Resort* by Clémence Michallon is a captivating psychological mystery that blends a chilling cult backstory with an immersive narrative. Set against a lush, luxurious backdrop, the novel follows a complex heroine caught between the weight of her past and the lengths she'll go to protect the ones she loves. With sharp prose and intricate characterization, Michallon delivers a haunting exploration of family, survival, and the dark corners of the human heart.

This book gave me the chills and is edge of the seat kind of stuff. When Frida and her brother escaped from a cult, they did not realise many years later there would be repercussions. When they arrive at a beautiful hotel on their holiday everything seems serene and calm until it doesn't. A woman is found dead and the police are putting Frida's brother down as the killer but is he? long ago memories come back to haunt the two of them, can they ever be rid of what happened all those years ago? It was a good story that keeps you captivated. It flits from past to future and is easy enough to follow along with. It is full of drama and mysteriousness until you find out what really happened. I am stunned how good it was.
