The Last House on Needless Street
by Catriona Ward
A missing girl, a man who drinks alone, a cat who reads the bible, and a girl looking for her missing sister. Four people who are all entwined with one another in this mystery, paranormal, horror-esque, thriller. The story is told through 4 POVs and is filled with interesting twists and turns. At first the story starts off a bit slow but by the end it’s at full pace. I was surprised by the twists and had fun reading this book. The main characters of the story include Lauren (a teenage girl who is forbidden from leaving the house and is the “daughter” of Ted), Ted ( a man who was abused as a child and loves his daughter Lauren and his cat Olivia), Olivia is a cat who lives with Ted and reads the bible, and finally Dee, a woman who’s sister disappeared years ago and is on a mission to find her sister and the person who took her. The story starts off as a mystery of what happened to Dee’s missing sister and what has happened to said sister but unfurls into a deeper question of what has happened to Ted and there is definitely a paranormal aspect to the story. I thought it was interesting to include Olivia’s perspective and the story definitely gives off a “Behind Her Eyes” vibe. Each voice is distinct and the whole unfurling of what actually happened is interesting. Definitely a fun read and perfect for the upcoming spooky season!
