This book gave me anxiety and it tugged on my heart as only a Noelle Ihli thriller can. Hard to believe something like this happened in real life! It's what sets Noelle's books apart from other thrillers--the true crime element. You have to read this ...more

The Last Watch of Red Rock is a wild and claustrophobic ride that filled me with dread until the final page. It's got creep factor, gripping lore, and a riveting setting. Horror lovers will devour it. ...more

“I don’t believe in ghosts”

“for air. You can’t live in those deep dark waters of fear”
― Steph Nelson, Last One Out

0 likes

“get a few steps away from the car and a shiver runs through me. It’s not only the cold, it’s something about this place—a presence, or I don’t know—some type of leftover residue. I don’t believe in ghosts, but I do believe that the stuff we’re made of, our soul, or whatever, has to go somewhere when we die. It’s energy that must get put back into the world in some form. I’ve never thought about whether that energy can get stuck in one place, but that’s exactly what this feels like.”
― Steph Nelson, Last One Out
