Every Last Fear is a great mystery. I consumed the story quickly, anxious to know what happens next.

Matt Pine is trying just to be a regular college kid. Life has been difficult because his bother is in prison for supposedly killing his girlfriend. Matt is haunted by a documentary that makes his dad look insane and keeps people talking. Because of school, he stays home when his family takes a trip to Mexico. But tragedy hits the family once again. All four of his family member which include his six-year-old brother are found deaf at the place they were staying. Matt must figure out how to live without his family and deal with the inevitable link to his brother.

The chapters switch perspectives regularly look at different time periods during the crime. Matt mainly stays in the present showing the fall out while family members are in the past allowing the reader to see what brought their death. The only thing about these is that only one focuses on Danny, the incarcerated brother. I would have liked to have seen more from him.

Alex Finlay keeps the book fast-paced, each chapter moving the story along. There aren't overly wordy descriptions, and Finlay doesn't go in tangents. Everything pertains to the story and kept you engaged. The reader is able to bond with each character and you care what happens to them and what Matt's outcome will be.

This is a thrilling mystery that I would recommend to anyone looking for a new book.
