Nothing can cast a shadow over a town like a murder can, especially the double murder of two young women, but that is exactly what has happened in the town of Mount Orange, Florida when Bailey and Celeste, two close friends, were brutally murdered while out camping. Even though the murders occurred many, many years ago, people are still affected by this heinous crime, especially Tru, a girl who wasn’t even alive when the murders occurred, a girl who feels a strong, and strange, connection to Bailey. When a new girl comes to town named Rio, Tru begins to feel an odd connection to her as well, a connection that goes beyond their love of freediving. The two soon become tangled up in the mystery of Bailey and Celeste, an entanglement that may have dire consequences.
One Last Breath was an enjoyable novel from start to finish. While it was a little predictable at times–I had my suspicions about the ending rather early on–I still found the mystery and suspense to be solid. The characters are well developed and I really found myself taking an interest in Tru and Rio’s lives. The descriptions and figurative language paint a complete picture of the characters, their feelings, the setting, and, most importantly, the world of freediving. One Last Breath is a page-turner of a novel, full of mystery, suspense, and the supernatural.
