The Last Course: A Novella
The food was extraordinary. The price was unthinkable.
Grace Mitchell is broke, desperate, and watching her fifteen-year-old daughter die from a disease insurance won't cover. When the reclusive Harper family invites her to an exclusive dinner party, she has nothing to lose.
By morning, her daughter is cured. Her bank account is full. And something inside Grace has started to change.
The Harpers want her back. They want Emily too. And the longer Grace stays at their table, the harder it becomes to stop eating, stop changing, stop wanting what they offer. Because the Harpers' secret isn't just old money and old influence. It's old hunger. The kind that's been feeding on their guests for three hundred years.
Now Grace has to get her daughter out before the next course is served. But Emily isn't afraid of the Harpers. Emily is becoming something the Harpers didn't expect. And the entity behind their table wants her most of all.
A white-knuckle psychological thriller about motherhood, sacrifice, and the meals we can never take back.

About the author
Ayman Hamadeh
29 books2 followersI write dark, intense fiction. The kind that crawls under your skin and stays there. Psychological thrillers, dark fantasy, and the occasional story that doesn't fit neatly into any box. But I don't like staying in one lane. I write a bit of everything, and I go wherever the story takes me.
What I care about most is making every page earn your time. I want you hooked from the first line and still thinking about the ending days later. That's the standard I hold myself to.
If you're here, you probably like stories with teeth. Pull up a chair. I think we'll get along.

Zero stars. This “book” is so clearly AI written it was painful to get through. Did anyone even edit this??? I read three chapters in a row that were just retellings of the same scene. It made absolutely no sense at all and was full of contradictions. Don’t waste your time.

The first half of the book was so exciting that I literally couldn’t put it down. As soon as I got to chapter 7 the chapters were different versions of things that already happened and nothing made sense. AI was certainly used and not even proofread.
