\u201cThey found the bodies on a Tuesday.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

So begins this twisty and breathtaking novel that traces the fate of the Pine family, a thriller that will both leave you on the edge of your seat and move you to tears.<\/p>\n

After a late night of partying, NYU student Matt Pine returns to his dorm room to devastating news: nearly his entire family\u2014his mom, his dad, his little brother and sister\u2014have been found dead from an apparent gas leak while vacationing in Mexico. The local police claim it was an accident, but the FBI and State Department seem far less certain\u2014and they won\u2019t tell Matt why.<\/p>\n

The tragedy makes headlines everywhere because this isn\u2019t the first time the Pine family has been thrust into the media spotlight. Matt\u2019s older brother, Danny\u2014currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his teenage girlfriend Charlotte\u2014was the subject of a viral true crime documentary suggesting that Danny was wrongfully convicted. Though the country has rallied behind Danny, Matt holds a secret about his brother that he\u2019s never told anyone: the night Charlotte was killed Matt saw something that makes him believe his brother is guilty of the crime.<\/p>\n

When Matt returns to his small hometown to bury his parents and siblings, he\u2019s faced with a hostile community that was villainized by the documentary, a frenzied media, and memories he\u2019d hoped to leave behind forever. Now, as the deaths in Mexico appear increasingly suspicious and connected to Danny\u2019s case, Matt must unearth the truth behind the crime that sent his brother to prison\u2014putting his own life in peril\u2014and forcing him to confront his every last fear.<\/p>\n

Told through multiple points-of-view and alternating between past and present, Alex Finlay’s Every Last Fear is not only a page-turning thriller, it\u2019s also a poignant story about a family managing heartbreak and tragedy, and living through a fame they never wanted.<\/p>\n

After seeing so many posts about this book that I decided to give it a shot. However, I am sometimes skeptical when I see a lot of hype about a book because in the past, unfortunately, I have been disappointed. Was I this time? Especially since, over the past year or so, the majority of my reading has been psychological thrillers, and with this being a debut, could it stand up to those that I have read before it.<\/p>\n

The Pine family has become famous, not only in their home state but nationally due to a documentary, whereas the oldest son, Danny, was convicted for the murder of a local girl. His father, Evan, vowed that he would prove that Danny was innocent. On another tip, the family travel to Mexico to chase it down. However, Evan, mother Liv, daughter, Maggie, and youngest son Tommy never make it back alive. Matt, the 2nd oldest son, and Danny are the sole survivors and now there are rumors that they killed the family for the inheritance. Was it foul play or was it a tragic accident as the Mexican officials claimed it was?<\/p>\n

I was hooked from that first sentence, \u201cThey found the bodies on a Tuesday.\u201d<\/i>. <\/p>\n

The plot was intricately weaved and interweaved where the story was told by different members of the family and alternating between the before and after of the Mexican tragedy. The narrative was so expertly written that I was transported into the story. The characters were believable and three-dimensional. The suspense was intense and profound with no letup. So many twists and turns, and just when I thought I might be onto something, the story veered again.<\/p>\n

An extraordinary debut novel that blew me away! A dynamic and captivating read!!! I suggest putting this author on your radar! I can’t wait to see what he has in store next!!!<\/p>\n
