📚 Review 📚 One Last Breath

Whew! Ginny Myers Sain does have a way of combining paranormal and thrillers. I love her writing style and will always jump at the opportunity to read her next book. So, here I am, having just finished One Last Breath.

As with the rest of Ginny Myers Sain’s novels, One Last Breath is this intricate blend of thriller and paranormal. It starts as a creepy thriller with a history of girls dying in the area. But at some point, it’s hard even to mark when the paranormal elements begin bleeding through.

I love that subtle shift in the writing, even when I don��t always love how the twist ends (which is the case here). Ultimately, this wasn’t my favorite twist, and I wished there had been more exploration of other core elements.

Highlights: Paranormal Thriller Fantasy & Horror Elements LGBTQ+

Trigger Warnings: Gaslighting Drowning

Secrets So Deep ★★★★

Eeee! It's finally here! I fell in love with Ginny Myers Sain's writing last year (was it only last year?) when Dark and Shallow Lies was released. Naturally, I've been counting down the days until the release of Secrets So Deep (unluckily for me, my book got delivered to the wrong address, so I had to wait a bit longer than I had hoped).

It probably goes without saying that I went into Secrets So Deep with extremely high hopes and expectations. Dark and Shallow Lies was one of my favorite reads for 2021, and I was counting on a repeat success here.

So, did I get it? I would have to say that it is a resounding yes. While I didn't feel quite the same emotional connection this time, I was utterly captivated by Avril's story and the tale of Whisper Cove.

Something about the setting of Whisper Cove felt familiar. Like a dream that slowly fades away upon waking – it's still there, but just barely. It made for an excellent foundation for everything that follows.

This is the second novel I've read by Ginny Myers Sain, and I am still hooked! I would kill to see an adaptation of either Dark and Shallow Lies or Secrets So Deep (or both!). And yes, I realize the irony of that statement. Even if I never get that adaptation, I'm still happily waiting for the next novel (One Last Breath) to drop.
