Her Last Breath

A Novel

From the critically acclaimed author of No Exit and The Last Word comes a story of two friends who embark on an ill-fated caving expedition—and the dark truth of what happens deep underground.

Narrated by Sophie Amoss!

After years of excuses, Tess has finally agreed to go caving with her best friend Allie. Their lives have diverged sharply since high school—Allie is a self-made travel influencer, while Tess is a shy (and claustrophobic) legal assistant struggling to pay for law school. Maybe she’s a little jealous of Allie's globe-trotting life. Who wouldn’t be?

As Tess and Allie descend into the depths, they realize they’re not alone. A stranger who claims to be a fellow caver harasses them. Confident, take-no-shit Allie insults the guy—and he retaliates. Soon, Tess is trapped inside a narrow crawl space hundreds of feet underground, fighting to stay alive.

Twenty-four hours later, as a hospitalized Tess recounts her harrowing story of survival, the detective interviewing her shares new and shocking secrets about Allie's true past. Together, they begin to suspect the brutal attack wasn’t so random after all.

Who was Allie, really? Why did this man target them? And did Tess really leave the danger behind when she escaped the cave?

Her last breath

Wow is all I have to say . Incredible original story well worth the credit this book definitely got me out of a book slump

This story was twisty!

This isn’t for claustrophobics! It’s a psych thriller full of twists and turns. This isn’t a one twist pony ride. Prepare to get new, intriguing ideas introduced all the way to the dramatic conclusion. Taylor Adams has done it again.

Suspenseful!

Amazing psychological thriller full of twists and turns! I may have liked this one even more than No Exit which I gave 5 stars!

Predictable but still great!

While I was able to call the plot twist early on, the setting and the characters were still really interesting and I loved it! Anything that takes place in an underground cave is the best.

Something refreshingly different

Really enjoyed this story. It’s not your typical psychological thriller. It is creepy, adrenaline fueled and full of twists. The setting itself, hunted by a killer deep inside narrow caverns 20 stories under the earth, hooked me and the scenes were illustrated beautifully in my mind. I highly recommend!
