The Last Housewife by Ashley Winstead
5.0

Hold onto your butts y'all because Ashley Winstead has done it again. It's a thriller that I just *devoured* and the only thing I regret is that I'll never be able to read this book for the first time again. It's fabulously culty and focuses on rich men behaving badly - 2 of my favorite thriller subgenres. But more than that, we also get a podcast subplot and flashbacks to Shay's time in college that help us to understand her more deeply. While some of the plot elements were nicely foreshadowed, others flew out of nowhere and I absolutely LOVED it. However this book is full of violence and trauma, so take note of the ample trigger warnings at the beginning.

But HOOOOOOOOOO BOY... It's a doozy.
