The Last Girl

by Kitty Thomas

Six years ago strangers broke into Juliette’s house; she was home alone. She kept her eyes closed, praying that if she didn’t see anything, she wouldn’t be killed. No one harmed her. In fact, one of the thieves protected her. Now Juliette’s dreams are haunted by him.

Christian has waited to take her, resisting the urge each night. It always ends badly with human pets. They’re too fragile. The longer he can wait, the better, because the moment he takes her, the clock on her life starts ticking down.

Then she’ll be gone forever.

Spoilers coming up, but then again, you aren't missing much and I'm sparing you the effort of having to read it yourself. Trust me, go read something else, cause WTF was that???

This has to be the worst thing I've ever read in my entire life, I swear. I'm sorry, I'm sure there are a lot of fans out there, but this book was just fucked up and most of all: Boring. Oh-so-BORING.

My god. The sex wasn't even hot, there was no seduction, nothing. "I took off my clothes. And then he fucked me. And I came. And then he came. And he drank my blood. And then I drank his blood. And then I turn into a virgin again. And then the next day, I took off my clothes. And we fucked." Or: "He slid his hands down my pants and by the time the car stopped I'd had 3 orgasms."

Wow geez, I can barely keep myself in check from all the hotness, be still my loins! That's what this books is like, chapter, after chapter, after chapter. -yawns loudly-

The thing that bothered me the most wasn't the BDSM, or the fisting, or the knives and the blood, it was the fact that 'drinking Christian's blood turned her into a virgin again'. Now I know what they mean, cause a girl's first time usually hurts, and that's what he's aiming for because she bleeds every time, but it's not like being a virgin is something you can go back to once you've had sex for the first time. Unless if the author thinks there really is such a thing as a hymen that's some kind of closed membrane that 'breaks' when a girl's cherry gets popped. I'm sorry but this has to be the silliest thing I've ever read.

ETA: apparently, I am completely wrong about hymens in general and they felt the need to set me straight. It is in fact, a closed membrane, I'm told. I just feel so bad for all the virgins out there who have monthly nose bleeds when they're on their period. I mean, where else would the stuff go? My biggest sympathies to all you young nose bleeders out there. -sniffle-

On top of the fact that they had the most boring sex life in literary history (and I'm using this term loosely), he tells her he doesn't love her, but then about 5 minutes later, he does. But she shouldn't love him back! No! I'll wipe your memory, fair Juliette, and set you back into the real world! No Christian, don't, me lubs you so much, please, hurt me some more!

But he does dump her. (and I'm glad he did cause that meant the book finally ends) And it works for like 5 seconds, so she gets her memory back, tries to kill herself and, of course; he comes to her rescue and turns her into a vampire. I think this paragraph alone is longer than the chapter where all those events took place.

God, just... Blah!

[Alex ☣ Deranged KittyCat ☣ · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book... with all due respect to the author and the work she must have put into The Last Girl, it feels completely unnecessary (?). I don't understand why it was written. It's not terrifying. Nor is it actual erotica (I've read new adult books that are more explicit than this one). It is not a love story... I'm not sure what this is meant to be.

So, we have this 700 something years old vampire (Christian - many psychopaths seem to share this name) who has been stalking a girl (Juliette) since she was 13 years old. Now she's 19 and still a virgin. The night she decides to sleep with her boyfriend, she is whisked away by the big bad wolf. And so she emerges in the dark, sexual world of the vampire. Meh...

I didn't feel anything for either of the characters. Actually, the more I think about it, the more this feels like Fifty Shades of Grey with a paranormal twist.

If you don't have anything better to read... Do yourself a favor and just skip this book.

[Sammy Loves Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

He holds me for a small eternity, and I know I'll do anything, allow him to debase me in any way just to get to this private, intimate moment where I feel I'm the most important thing in his world.



Juliette has been taken by the vampire, Christian. He has watched over her for years now. Waiting for her to age, so that he could make her his pet. So he could use her for his pleasures.


"I don't think the capability to love is still with me, but I hold out hope I won't destroy you. Even so, your pain gives me pleasure, more than the pain of anyone else because you are you. I waited for you do long, got to know you well before I took you. I think it has made some difference. I'm just not sure if the difference is enough or if it puts you in more danger."






"You will eat what I cook for you. You will eat organic. You will drink water or tea, occasionally wine or other alcohol if I allow it. You will not be drinking soft drinks, or eating sugar, or packaged or processed crap. Humans who eat crap taste like crap. You'll be my primary food source, and I want you to be gourmet."






Christian introduces Juliette to a world of dark erotica, where pleasure and pain bleed into one orgasmic sensation. The only problem that arises is that Christian is a sadist. He is a beast and often has trouble reigning in his baser instincts to kill. And the more he cares for Juliette, the more he enjoys her pain!!





"Already I can feel the need to take you to the dungeon. There are so many things I fantasize about doing to you, things which will hurt. So, even if I did love you, it does't make you safer with me. The only thing you're safe from is everyone and everything else. I can protect you from literally anything but myself. Pray that I don't love you, Juliette. I'm scared of what will happen to you if I do."





Juliette develops a love for Christian, but as the weeks pass and the sessions become more severe, she realizes that even if Christian could love her, that may not be enough to save her.


His wrist is still to my mouth when he speaks, his voice is defeated. "I think I love you, pet."
I should be happy to hear this, but I'm not. He's gotten too wrapped up in me, so much that rationality cannot penetrate the bubble. I'm not safe here I'll never be safe again. I understand finally what he meant when he said, "pray I don't love you". I'd thought he was just being dramatic.




What a dark delicious read this turned out to be. 115 pages was just long enough for some character development, and short enough that I didn't get bored by Christian's brooding or Juliette's crying. The club scenes were far more erotic that I expected, with Christian taking Juliette to some major extremes!!

I enjoyed the ending too and recommend this to anyone looking for a short dark Vampire Bodice Ripper vs Erotic BDSM for Vampires!!

Okay. I don’t know why I read this. I saw it and thought: “it’s like Twilight / Fifty Shades of Grey? MUST READ FOR LOLS.”

This was a mistake. A grave mistake.




So it was pretty obvious what was going to happen from the get go...




Christian is a vampire and he’s decided that Juliette is the girl for him, even if she’s only thirteen when he first meets her. “That’s okay,” he thinks. “I shall wait until she’s nineteen because then it'll be okay.”

And then all hell breaks loose. The language is appalling. Ableism and slut-shaming abound (but really, am I surprised? No). The sentences are clunky and a couple of times I read things and thought “huh”, because the wording was really, really off.

Also, there’s lots of “YOU ARE MY PET AND I AM THE MASTER AND HOW DARE YOU TRY TO CRAWL TO FREEDOM I SHOULD PUNISH YOU.” And there are moments when Juliette is like “MAYBE IT WON’T BE SO BAD I AM BEING FED AFTER ALL” but then turns around and is all “OH GOSH HE’S EVIL AND CRAZY THIS IS A REALLY BAD SITUATION I’M IN GUYS.”

No shit Juliette. No shit.




This wasn’t even sexy. Nothing remotely sexy even happened until about halfway through, and even then it was a letdown. I am disappointed. I expected at the very least some semi-decent sex scenes.


Onward now, with some choice excerpts:

‘Despite everything, I have a moment of transcendence. I feel one with everything, and my logical brain isn’t active to tell me how wrong it all is. The pain flowers out like a lotus blossom and then transforms into a deep yearning.
He is both the disease and the cure. ’

‘The way you respond to me. You’re poetry in motion. ’




‘Maybe everything I know about vampires is wrong. Maybe he was never human. Maybe he’s a god, instead. Or a demon. I have a feeling our human words for things: god, angel, demon, vampire... they’re just words. They don’t really mean anything because we don’t know what the hell we’re talking about.’

Well that’s something we can both agree on. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about anymore either.


‘My master makes no further comment; he just leads me inexorably toward... whatever. ’

Your eloquence astounds me.


‘Whipping, blood, biting, fangs, orgasm, cocks everywhere. ’




‘I was an anal virgin. It should have hurt or at least scared me more, but my body has surrendered so strongly that I feel like a piece of driftwood floating down the river, unable to be harmed because I flow so beautifully with the current.’




And then I kind of stopped paying attention and got bored and just kind of finished it as quickly as I could. Final thoughts? Don’t read this. I can’t believe I read this. That’s two hours of my life I’m never getting back.

[Meredith is a hot mess · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.45 stars


This. . .was a strange read. I started out really liking it, it felt like a 4 star read the first few pages, but quickly drifted into 2 star territory with the h's lonnng inner monos. I get the pos. reviews make a point this book was about the heroine internally dealing with her situation, but many of her internal thoughts I ended up finding hilariously mundane. How she randomly ponders that she might be an actress if college doesn't work out, how she almost casually misses her mom and after she's kidnapped, how she chomps down on the organic food she's fed...at one point the vamp kills a whore in front of her and later she's like: "Is anyone grieving for her? I'm grieving for her. Oh, not really I'm just feeling sorry for myself." idk the inner mono sometimes seemed so random.

I agree with the negative reviews pointing out the sex scenes didn't feel as erotic as they could have because of the lack of description.

The nightly revirginization was ridiculous. The comments under the top 1 star review arguing about female anatomy, hymens and virginity were entertaining to read through though.

What bumped this back up to three stars:

I read this at ungodly hours of the morning because I sometimes wake up too early. It was simple to read and helped pass the time.

I only paid 99 cents for this.

I liked that the vamp was cruel. He made no false pretenses about how he'd probably end up killing this girl. The premise of the story was dark and a bit depraved. I could get into it at times.

---

I've been on a 2 and 3 star roll with Kitty Thomas lately.

So I first read Comfort Food - 4 stars
Then Guilty Pleasures - 5 stars
Trust Game - 3 stars
The Audition - 3 stars
Broken Dolls - 2 stars
Pretty Lies - 2 stars (rounded to 3 to be nice)
Big Sky - 2 stars (rounded to 3)
Now The Last Girl - 3 stars

hmmm. Okay my new plan on reading through KT's backlog is to nix the rest of the Pleasure House series & Mafia Captive. I'm going to try Tender Mercies and The Game Maker next. Her 3 star reads are nice easy 4 am can't go back to sleep reads for me. So I'll try her fairytale retellings for that next.

[Stacia (the 2010 club) · Rating 2 out of 5]

Adult review for taboo erotic content (kidnapping and non-con). Not spoiler tagging that because it's something you'd want to know about before deciding whether or not to read the book.

The main reason this book is only getting 2 stars from me is because I've read the same subject matter before from this author, but put together in a far more interesting story. If you're looking to branch out into extreme taboo reading, I'd suggest that you skip this book altogether and pick up Comfort Food instead. At least with CF, it has you questioning the limits of how far Stockholm Syndrome could push a person in a real world circumstance, drawing the reader into more of a "what would you do?" thought process.

When you add in an element of the paranormal like there was in Last Girl, it kills any viability of the story actually happening to a person. Instead, the book just becomes some person's creepy fantasy rather than an interesting take on how a person might react in a real kidnapping situation.

That said, I don't have a huge need to trash the book, given the subject matter. It was what I'd been expecting, but simply wasn't executed in a way that I'd find interesting to read about. The ending of the book did manage to surprise me in a good way, but there was a huge disconnect for a good portion of the book surrounding the woman's time spent in captivity. Maybe I half expect a person to fight their predicament, even if they can only fight it inside of their mind.

[Cécile Smits · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kitty weaves her magic with The Last Girl,and it caught me yet again!
Even though this is not the first time i’ve read it,it still pulls me in from the very first page.
And leaves me with a feeling of confused satisfaction.....

Juliette has been living in a kind of limbo since being spared when her father’s house was robbed when she was only thirteen.
The person that decided she should live,his voice has haunted her dreams ever since.
Even though she never saw his face,he is in her mind every night.
All she knows,is his name:Christian.

And then,at age nineteen,he comes for her.
He takes her to his house,and changes her life.....
Finding out who,and what,he is and his intentions for her frighten her.
But she is at his mercy,and she has no choice,but to surrender to him.....
Her doubts,her fears,her feelings,they’re all on display in this story,and i found myself dragged down the rabbithole with her.
In the end,they find themselves so connected,Christian fears for her life if she stays and sends her away.
Because he knows he will lose control,and that will mean her end.

So how can this leave me with a confused satisfaction you ask?
Read and find out,i dare you!
Enjoy the ride.....and don’t get lost along the way!

*Big Sigh*

I wanted more amazingness from the same author who wrote Comfort Food . Something that will make me think and make me flinch and make me gasp all at the same time because that's what happened last time. So it might be partly my fault for raising my expectations too high. The Last Girl fell shortly as a result. There were just so many things wrong with this novella.

Let's talk about the sex scenes first, shall we? It came along as porn to me rather than as erotica. I'll explain: Before starting The Last Girl, I imagined a sexy erotica romance between the two main characters. What I envisioned was this-



But when the book drew to a close, what I really got was this-



A creepy, not-even-romance between the two main characters who really need to get their heads checked out. It wasn't that sexy. I felt that the author just threw in the knife play, the sadism, the exhibitionism, the kidnapping and dubious consent, the fisting pretty much all of the BDSM elements into a blender and just sprinkled them all over the pages to make it "twisted" and "dark".

The next thing I want to talk about is the development of the characters.

My Juliette



My Christian



Juliette and Christian felt like cardboard cut-outs whose personalities were clear-cut for them. Christian was the dark, menacing alpha-male who is ultimately the Dominant and thrives on inflicting pain-

Even so, your pain still gives me pleasure, more than the pain of anyone else because you are you.


The pain flowers out like a lotus blossom and then transforms into a deep yearning. He is both the disease and the cure.

-and Juliette is the quivering, weeping mess that he is supposed to control. I get that Submissives act in various ways but c'mon, Juliette?!??? She's pathetic. I'm sorry.

I could go into more detail about how Juliette lost and regained her virginity every night but I can't. It's not because I was too grossed out by all of it...well, I was. It was because:

I
Couldn't.
Stop.
Laughing!

That's what the extra star is for. I've never heard of this sort of thing before sooo...yeah. A star for originality!!

2 Stars

Note: I've been in a bit of a bad book slump lately. I don't know what's happening- just that I've becoming increasingly disappointed with all the books that are being thrown my way. I tried to vary my books a little; the last book I read was a billionaire romance and that's why I decided to try a paranormal romance erotica just for the sake of it. It's not working. I might go re-read some of my other favourite books which I know I'll definitely love.

[I ♥ Bookie Nookie (bookienookiereviews.blogspot.com) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Again! An enthusiastic round of applause for the masterful seductress, Kitty Thomas. Her words are wicked and delightful, haunting and erotic. The stories she weaves always leave me in a state of confusion as to why I enjoy these dark tales, but ultimately I find that I need not ask why only when will the next one be released.

Christian is the dark and commanding force behind all that happens in Juliette’s life. THE LAST GIRL is such a complex novella - it contains erotic undertones similar to that of her other books... that darkness that scares me a little and excites me a lot... okay, this one scared me a lot, but I still loved it - wouldn't want to LIVE it, but definitely an exciting escape from reality.

If you are planning to read THE LAST GIRL, you should be aware of the following elements: blood and sex, knife play, fisting and captivity to name a few.

There are really no words. As Erin said in her review, what is contained in this book falls under my "hard limits". The way things turned around in the ending was not enough to soften the blow. This was not for me.

To be fair, I didn't read the reviews before buying this so I didn't really know what I was getting into. After reading the reviews, I felt I needed to read it before our Smut Monday Club was going to get their hands on it tomorrow.

Let me say, I cannot recommend this book at all. Be warned. Twisted and dark does not cover it and it's not even acts described that makes me say that. It's the whole mentality of the book. I have to say that once I started reading I felt compelled to finish though, I wanted to know how it turned out. But I'd have to say it was more like watching a train wreck that you can't take your eyes off.

Hmm, would I rather be with Christian Gray or become Christian's prey?... BITE ME!.... no seriously, I want Christian to bite me.

Yes Christian is a vampire and he absolutely caused some cringe worthy moments, BUT..

....and I liked his view .

I really enjoyed this one. I'm realizing I have a thing for vampires. * shrug* My only complaint is that I felt the story needed a little more depth ...or maybe I'm just being greedy because I wanted more time with Christian ----> IT'S BOTH!

A GR mutual called this "dry vampire erotica" and I agree. I can see what The Last Girl wanted to be, but I could not feel it. It reminded me of HBO's True Blood in how the vampire moves fast, a blurring effect, the night club setting with BDSM rooms, and of course a special human girl. Here, she cannot be easily controlled through the vampire's mind.

I would give this 4 stars for the vampire world-building. Not anything particularly inventive, but I liked how all the pieces came together. I love the title and how Bluebeard it is, not only with the book but also a creepy urn chamber.

I did not feel any chemistry between the leads, and I wish there was more in this novella, as it felt like things ran out of steam: hero realizes he loves the heroine and sets her free, although this is of course a romance so a HEA is reached quickly.

🦸🏼‍♀️ The Heroine: Juliette

Juliette is haunted by the night her childhood innocence shattered. At thirteen, left home alone, she opened the door to danger: armed strangers searching for secrets hidden in her parents’ safe. Terrified, she hid in a closet, listening as voices debated whether to kill her. When the intruders left, one remained — Christian. He sat beside her, promised no harm, and vanished with a chilling warning never to speak of that night. The memory lingers, shaping her fears and her future.

🦸🏻‍♂️ The Hero: Christian

Christian is no ordinary man — he’s a 700-year-old vampire with a history of destroying every human companion he’s ever taken. Determined to resist Juliette, he tells himself he’ll stay away. Yet he knows the truth: every day he resists is another day she lives, and the moment he claims her, her countdown begins. His struggle is both tragic and terrifying, a predator battling his own hunger.

📚 The Plot

Years later, Juliette is a college student still plagued by nightmares. She finds solace in her mother’s bakery, the only place that feels safe. Her parents’ divorce remains a mystery, though she suspects it ties back to the stolen documents from that fateful night.

Juliette’s attempt at normalcy includes her boyfriend, Devon. Ready to take a step forward in their relationship, she plans to lose her virginity. But the evening spirals into horror when Devon blindfolds her for a surprise at the beach — only for another hand to lead her away. Frozen in fear, Juliette recognizes the face behind the touch: the man from her nightmares.

🌟 What Worked

• The premise is compelling, blending danger, desire, and supernatural tension.
• The steam factor is undeniable, adding intensity to the story.

💔 What Fell Short

• The pacing felt rushed; more background and buildup would have deepened the impact.
• Christian’s treatment of Juliette is jarringly cruel. For someone who claims she’s unique — the only human immune to his thrall, the girl who touched his face in defiance — his harshness undermines the emotional stakes. His insistence that they’ll never be equals, paired with threats of killing her once he’s “done,” makes him difficult to root for.

🎙️ Narration

Told in multiple POVs, the duet narration adds dimension. Laurie West’s soft, delivery shines, bringing warmth to Juliette’s voice, though she felt a bit wooden at times. Christian Black’s deep tone fits the character but also feels stiff, more read than lived. Still, the duet format elevates the listening experience, making character voices distinct and immersive.

💬 Final Thoughts

A dark, seductive premise with flashes of intensity, but the execution left me wanting more depth, more emotion, and more balance between cruelty and connection. The narration helps, but the story itself could have lingered longer in its shadows before rushing into the heat.

[Louise · Rating 4 out of 5]

The pain flowers out like a lotus blossom and then transforms into a deep yearning.
He is both the disease and the cure.

Six years after the incident that happened in Juliette’s house, nightmares plaque her every dream of a man whom she'd touch, now the obsession of the man adheres to claiming her, and the time was due.
as he said:

“Six years,” he says quietly. With my eyes shut, the only thing I can process is his voice as it drops over me like a blanket. “It’s not a lot of time to a vampire, but it’s still a long time for a sentient being to be lonely after you’ve found the one you want. And you have to watch her laugh with others and hold hands and have crushes. And you can’t be near her during the day, which is when most of her life happens. If she’s in danger during that time, you can’t stop it.”

Christian's obsession resonates through the span of six years, being in her mind, he knows every secrets and desires she hold, he wanted to possess her body,craves her blood but most of all takes her virginity.
e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.

“I want to drink you until there’s nothing left. I want you to magically rematerialize so I can do it again. I want a phoenix that will rise from the ashes just so I can keep burning her. I thought I knew madness, but I didn’t know it before you.”

Juliette was his only hope for the little humanity inside him, he'd taken women through out his life but only Juliette stand out to him,

He’s silent for a long while then he says, “You are special to me. I hold you in higher regard than any other human, though that isn’t saying much. I don’t wish harm to come to you, but I know it will. The longer you’re with me, the higher the odds rise in that direction. I don’t think the capability to love is still with me, but I hold out hope I won’t destroy you. Even so, your pain still gives me pleasure, more than the pain of anyone else because you are you.

but he's a primal beast, he gets what he wants and used it to whatever the cause but what if his obsession wasn't only to take and control Juliette, what if love did exist in him? what if she was the only way to save the human in him?

His instinct is to kill me. His desire is to love me.

I enjoyed this book, it wasn't disturbing at best, some of the sex scenes were perfunctory but what I love most is Christian's vulnerability, I get that he's a sadist but he cared for Julliette, no matter what happens.
Whatever human emotions have sublimated my animal nature, they are gone now, replaced by the certainty of my continued ownership of her. She is MINE.

I’d thought Shakespeare was an illogical sap. You can’t fall in love that fast. Not real love. Real love takes time, like a fine wine. Real love takes years. Not days. Not weeks. No one has such a short relationship and becomes so deeply entwined. I thought the playwright was foolish, but I’m the foolish one. He was right about this kind of love. It burns past logic and all rational time lines to consume everything.

Author's note.
Warning: This book is meant for a mature audience and contains master/slave, group sexual activity, sadomasochism, girl-on-girl, oral and anal play, exhibitionism, blood play, edge play, as well as one other thing I’m not warning you about because it would be a spoiler... but it’s not a big taboo.

[C.P. Mandara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh God, I loved this SOOOOOOO much.

It's no secret that I'm a dark romance fan and paranormal books are usually a bit on the sickly sweet side for me. (It's all that swooning and intense pleasure at bites). Anyway, this was a real treat.

Christian is exactly how I imagine a several hundred old year vampire would be - jaded, cold, and distant. The tone of the book for me was brilliant. I could feel him calculating his next move with cunning efficiency, and I'm not sure if I was jealous of Juliette or downright scared for her.

For poor Juliette, life as she knows it is about to disappear. While Christian may be attractive and seductive, that doesn't come without a hefty dose of pain at each encounter. For Christian, emotion is everything, and pleasure and pain are two great feasts for him.

The book played out as I expected and the ending was perfect. My only complaint was that I wanted a sequel so bad. I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat. What was their next chapter? What happened? Did they make it? I was so invested in this tale, I was literally chomping at the bit to know more!

Once you have me trapped in a story, I want a long one. That's just me. Greedy.

This is second book of Kitty's I've read after 'Comfort Food' and it won't be the last :)

Five fabulous stars. One of the most believable dark paranormal romances I've read.

[Jac K · Rating 3 out of 5]

Vampire-smut read with a jerk vamp who slowly grows a heart. IMO is wasn’t really steamy, because the couple lacked chemistry and interaction. It also didn’t delve as deep into the psychological aspect of the relationship that Comfort Food did.

Bottom Line-- This is a quick read that sucked me in,🧛‍♂️ LOL and I got through it in one sitting. I enjoyed certain parts, and others felt forced. I wish there was more actual development of the relationship. I didn’t really feel the connection, especially with him sharing her with others. I think only the one female bit her, and no one penetrated her, but I like my alphas to be possessive. I could have done without the OW part, and was confused about the going out to eat part, because I thought it was her job to supply dinner. Overall, I was left with mixed feelings, but do believe in their HEA because they ae now on equal-ish footing.

[Tee Loves Books · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay, so I had to give myself some time to think about this story before I wrote a review, because parts just didn't sit well with me. I'm a huge fan of dark erotica stories, but certain aspects of Last Girl were too much.

To sum it up quickly, I have two big issues with this story, let's just call them my 'hard limits' for what I can and can not find enticing and sexy! For one, the club scenes. I'm not entirely opposed to stories that have kinky sex scenes in a public fashion, but Juliette being violated by god knows how many vampires by any number of objects while she's tied up and they all watch...yes, she's 'into it', but it honestly has a gang rape feel to it.

Then there's the dungeon scene, which actually made me have to step away from the book for a minute. The phrase "pain is pleasure" can be taken too far, and I think it was here. Knifing Juliette's back open repeatedly while she screams out in agony goes beyond a dom getting off on causing his sub pain. The fact that Christian is so happy to be causing her this pain is what makes it the most disturbing, because this isn't a dom trying to teach submissiveness like some of the other darker stories are.

I was actually really excited to read this b/c, well, come on-vampires are hot!! =) I was hoping this would be some rich vamp wanting to seduce a meek young woman, and there were parts of this story that hit that mark. I suppose I was...complacent towards the end when he suddenly realizes that he cares enough about her to want her alive. It wasn't one of those moments where you think "oh, yeah, in all of this f*&ked up mess they're going to be happy together", but he did redeem himself in my eyes a little with his actions in the end. Just not enough to say I enjoyed this story.

I can't begin to express how much I enjoy the amazingly dark and complex stories from Kitty Thomas. At times I have even questioned if it is alright for me to enjoy them so much because they can be so dark and disturbing. I find myself coming back to the same answer, even if the story is hard to take, if the characters won't leave me be then the author has done her job!

As much as I was immediately drawn into the story of Christian and Juliette, it scared me at times. I don't scare easily but this one....holy crap, let me just say I still can't stop thinking about it.

When Juliette was thirteen years old strangers broke into her home, they didn't hurt her and she was inexplicably drawn to one of the intruders. She never opened her eyes and believed that was why they didn't harm her. Little is she aware that although Christian didn't harm her then that he has waited and watched for six years. Now that he feels she is old enough, he decides it's time to take her and make her his pet. He tells her right from the start he is absolutely going to hurt her and will eventually kill her, it always ends badly with his human pets.

The problem is he never expected to love her, while you might think this is a good thing you couldn't be more wrong! I loved the ending of this book, I don't think it could have been more perfect.

As I have said before there is nothing feel good about KT's stories, they are dark, gritty and edgy - but IMO they are amazing storytelling and at times leave you breathless!

Can I just say this book is very mature.
It took me completely by surprise and the author had me eating out of her hand by the end.
Wow. Just WOW. I don't know what happened.
One minuet I was reading about a teen in college helping out her mom. The next she had been abducted by a very sexy and intimidating god of a vampire who was using her for sex and for a bite every now and then.
So well written and the ending was everything one could hope for.
I loved it absoloutley loved it.
I'm not sure why, just all of it I guess. The way the plot twisted and thickened whilst remaining its surprise and originality.

This one was o.k. I didn't connect with Juliette or Christian which made me feel out of touch throughout the book. I love Kitty Thomas's work in general and do not require a HEA on it since it is erotica and not romance however this one the erotica part just felt not as intense or descriptive or something. It didn't hit me the right way I guess. Overall the story itself was the strength and the erotica was very much secondary if that. Very like Comfort Food but I just didn't get the mind f&*K like I did in that one. Detached observation.

4 1/2 Stars!!!


Now how can I pass up a warning like this???

Warning: This book is meant for a mature audience and contains master/slave, group sexual activity, sadomasochism, girl-on-girl, oral and anal play, exhibitionism, blood play, edge play, as well as one other thing I’m not warning you about because it would be a spoiler... but it’s not a big taboo.



WOWZA!! I may have said it before, but luvs Kitty Thomas' style of writing...you feel like you are right there with the characters!!

Christian is a centuries old vampire, who comes across Juliette when she is a child of 13. He waits 6 years before claiming her, and WOW is their story smoking hawt!! I could not put this one down. Highly recommend...what's not to like? Smoking hawt sex & vampires!! My two fav things! :)

(1.5 stars)

After being warned that this book wasn't going to be for me I was on my way to delete it but I figured I paid for it, so I might as well read the dang thing.

This book is pretty f*cked up. It's graphic and disturbing and disgusting...and yet it was one of those reads where I couldn't stop reading.

The content makes this not a very good read, but for some reason Christian being a Vampire made the blow a little less painful. He's still one sick puppy mind you, but it was easier to read then if this was strictly human.

For obvious reasons I can't recommend this, but if you don't mind dark and deeply twisted in your reads you may enjoy this one. It's a fast read which is a good thing cause I don't think I could stomach more then 100pgs anywho's.

Perfectively dark and twisted! The Last Girl has all of delicious darkness you can expect from a Kitty Thomas book but with a paranormal twist.

[Akanksha❤ Søren♰ · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well, That was one hell of a fucked up book!!
I usually find the Author's work weird but yet capturing and compelling, but this book I didn't feel that way. The story was wierd and unique which is compelling and hence I finished the book but it wasn't captured because it was absurd! Like 'He put his hands down my panties and I had 3 orgasms till we reached' and stuff like that. Also stuff wasn't detailed so you wouldn't really understand or connect type with the characters. It could have been really good because the story was nice, it should have been more detailed I think or something. BTW, The ending was sheer epic!! Loved the ending.

2.5 rounded up to 3. It was ok.

This one cut deep. I'll read it again once I stop having nightmares!

I am a HUGE fan of Kitty Thomas, so any book of hers goes on my inner TBR list automatically (note: I am so behind on listing my GR read and TBR it's not funny). That said, the cover alone hooked me. I couldn't get it out of my head. Which was torture for awhile, because I had to wait for the book!

For the book itself . . . let's just say I was not disappointed. This isn't a light read, this isn't a book you'll easily forget. I would say beware to those of you who prefer sweet romance, but I can't. If you love a great story, this should be your next read. I read it in one sitting and couldn't put it down. From the first page the tension mounts and you just know something wonderful, and horrible, will happen.

Juliette has been molded by an event that took place when she was very young, and what happened made her the perfect victim. But she's not pathetic or stupid, she's actually pretty normal. And that's part of what I loved about this book--her reactions to a very abnormal situation were believable.

Christian is . . . bad. Wonderfully, deliciously, evil. I applaud Ms. Thomas for keeping him that way and still making him the type of ant-hero I could lust after. The things he does to Juliette are twisted, brutal, and erotic at the same time.

You might not feel the same, but I recommend this book anyway. If you're not seduced, you'll be enthralled. I'm looking forward to more great reads from this author.

The Last Girl by Kitty Thomas

This is the first book I’ve read written by Kitty Thomas, her writing is fantastic, her words flowed smoothly, and the plot and character descriptions are well written. Kitty is one fantastic author and gives us a unique dark erotic story.

This story is about Juliette and Christian, Christian is an 800 year old vampire and has waiting 6 years for Juliette to turn of age so he could take her and make her his. It is told in Juliette point of view which I found it easy to read and understand how Juliette was feeling throughout the story. Sometimes it was heart wrenching this is a dark story which contains group sexual activity, sadomasochism, same sex/blood play/oral and anal play and is not for anyone who doesn’t enjoy reading the dark erotica/bdsm genre.

I will say that there is more to this story then just bdsm/erotica you end up feeling for Christian and Juliette sometime you can even see past the master Christian. And of course you feel so much for Juliette and the situation she is in.

I would recommend The Last Girl to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance with dark erotica.

“The way you respond to me. You’re poetry in motion.”

This book is dark erotica, very short, but powerful!! I felt like someone writing down their vampire fantasy, an exploration of someone’s psyche as they slowly get broken down, and start loving and hating their abuser.

I’m inside her and she’s inside me.



During the book I like and did not like Christian, which I'm pretty sure is how the writer wants us to feel. But in the end I LOVE him ❤.

I will try another Kitty Thomas book, for sure!!
