"West has an eerie way with words, an uncanny ability to conjure the perfect image. Last Things is at once poetic and urgent, evocative and authentic, everything I love in a book." -- Victoria Schwab, author of #1 New York Times bestseller This Savage Song "I devoured this book in a day. Told in evocative, spare prose through the eyes of two complex teens who ache and yearn and are jaw-droppingly brave, Last Things is the kind of taut, atmospheric thriller that gets your heart racing and sets your imagination on fire. Sensational." -- Claire Legrand, New York Times-bestselling author of Furyborn "West goes for a slow build while framing her two narrators as one music-smitten teen approaching a realistic stay-or-go crossroads in his life and another who could well be just an oddball.Come the wild, scary climax, Thea turns out to be much more than she appears. A suspenseful tale wrought from power chords, creeping darkness, and disquieting twists.

" -- Kirkus Reviews "West uses evocative language, including song lyrics, to enhance the ominous atmosphere in this updated Faustian thriller; her pitch-perfect depiction of music conjures pulse-pounding concerts and Anders's passion for metal. A dark and lovely saga, ideal for fans of Brenna Yovanoff and Holly Black." -- ALA Booklist "The action escalates like the fast-paced chords of a heavy metal bassline.What survives in a contest between fame and freedom might be the last choice for the protagonist. Hand this.to fans of mystery, music, and horror." -- School Library Journal.
