"What a great book from debut author Christina Delmonte. It's really well written, has a great plot and makes you keep turning the pages. One of the best books I read recent, I thoroughly recommend you purchase a copy, you won't be disappointed!"


5.0 out of 5 stars

"What a debut!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2021This is a fabulously addictive debut novel, crafted to perfection around a Bank Holiday weekend break that goes wrong. I think we can all relate to having those secret fears when we stay away from home somewhere new but this book really did transport me to the hell this family faced when they booked time away at Delamere Forest in Cheshire. The circumstances surrounding their break were very cleverly thought out and the tension palpable throughout their ordeal. There are a few unexpected twists and turns as the storyline weaves its way through to the final few pages and some of them are rather dark and shocking! I would definitely pick up another book by this author in the future."

5.0 out of 5 stars A strong debut with compelling characters!

The Last Bank Holiday by Christina Delmonte is a well written and suspenseful psychological drama that kept me engaged on every page. The story opened with a strong flashforward, and then I was taken on a journey of the aftermath of a horrific crime from the point of view of the protagonist Karen, a mother, a wife, and a caregiver for her mum with Alzheimer’s Disease. Delmonte’s characters are believable and strong. She portrays the epic flaws of greed, pride, and revenge in her portrayal of the wrong doers, who get what they deserve in a satisfying tragic ending. Fast paced, the plot surprised me with a big rabbit hole, and when I had speculated one twist, I read even faster to find out if I was right. I highly recommend The Last Bank Holiday for anyone who loves reading suspense.

Once in a while you come across a good book that is true to its genre. This is one such book! Fast paced and thrilling till the very end.
Karen Keele is married for about ten years to Will and has twin girls with him, Ellie and Jesse. They take a family vacation, that she won at a company raffle, in a cabin over the May bank holiday. It all turns downhill from there when they are burglarized. I don't want to give away the storyline by saying any more than this. It is the events that lead up to this burglary that make up for the thriller part. Twist is towards the end that left me baffled!
I read this roller coaster of ride book in three hours or so! In one go! This book is ideal read for thriller genre readers. It will surely keep you on the edge. There is also a good amount of emotions that are elaborated in this story. Karen's mom Mary is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and is in acute deterioration while Keele family is dealing with the aftermath of the burglary. Karen is left to juggle with her mother's situation, her husband's injury, financial crisis, while keeping it together for her twins.
I love the narration by Christina Delmonte! A gripping plot and engaging writing are the two strong suits of Last Bank Holiday. Grab your copy today and feel the thrill!

#ad I received a gifted copy of this book and leave this review of my own accord. Many thanks to @zooloosbooktours and the author #partner.

A simple act of leaving a door ajar sets off a chain reaction of events that disrupts the family's peaceful existence, leaving readers on the edge of their seats wondering whether the characters will emerge victorious from the challenges that they face over the course of that fateful weekend. The novel delves deep into themes of resilience, redemption, and survival as the characters are forced to confront their deepest fears and make tough choices to stay alive.

The author's talent for keeping readers guessing until the very last page creates an overwhelming sense of anticipation and suspense that propels the narrative forward. The intricate plot, coupled with the skillful execution of suspenseful moments, ensures that this psychological thriller is bound to captivate any reader with a fondness for suspenseful literature.

I would recommend to any suspense reader.

I really did want to enjoy this book and hoped to give it a great review. Sadly I can’t do that. It was badly written with lots of grammatical errors. The concept was good but fell flat. I think with more practice this author will improve. A proof reader would help too!
