The Last Thing to Burn
by Will Dean
This was harrowing, dark, emotional and absolutely unputdownable!!! It deserves ALL the stars!
Will Dean takes us straight into the disturbing, evil world of human trafficking and enslavement and it's brutal. You will never be able to forget "Jane" or the cruelty and horrors she endured. Jane is really a young Vietnamese woman named Thanh Dao who along with her sister, Kym-Ly, arrive in the UK in the hopes or work and a better life only to find they have been conned. Instead of the promised life of work and freedom Jane is held prisoner but in her mind and heart, she is never enslaved. I LOVED Jane - what a fighting spirit! She had such a sense of determination and strength in spite of the daily horrors she endured. I was riveted, rooting for her all the while my heart broke for her.
This is not a book to be entered into in lightly but it was absolutely amazing. I listened to this on audio and I felt transported into Jane's world. There were parts that gave me goose bumps and parts that made me want to cry because it felt so real. A highly recommended must read!
