The purpose of the club is simple: to see who can come up with the best Fear Test, terrifying a chosen victim. The tests were probably the bit of the story I enjoyed most, seeing the way the group pull of the pranks and get away with it.

Rachel is a well rounded protagonist with none of the usual headstrong attitudes this kind of character would normally be saddled with. Nadia tells us all very plainly and eloquently about the realities of her life as a Yazidi woman, both before and after the war, and about all the horrifying experiences she had to endure as a captive of the brutal Islamic state.
This book tackles some complex ideas, about owning fear, human nature, and what it means to belong, with a deliciously dark undertone that perfectly matches the pacy plot. Weaving crime, mystery horror and the paranormal, it is the perfect story to lose yourself in on a dark, autumn evening. By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file. Six of Nadia's brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves.The plot of this defies description and in all honesty it wouldn’t be fair to spoil it for future readers. It wasn’t the money that made their wives collapse in tears in front of our mukhtar, or village leader, Ahmed Jasso; forty thousand dollars was an otherworldly sum, but it was just money.

She relays her experiences in great descriptive and emotive detail, all the beauty and all the tragedy, in a very open and honest manner. Nadia Murad is a courageous young woman who has endured unimaginable tragedy (losing eighteen members of her family) and degradation through sexual enslavement to ISIS.
As Islamic State scythed its way through Iraq, destroying the ‘infidels’ who failed to match up to its perverted rendition Islam, it eventually reached Nadia’s remote village. The writing was good, and I enjoyed Sadie’s characterization, even though she made a few hasty decisions. Villagers huddled in front of their doors, and along with men who took turns manning a new checkpoint just beyond our village walls, they watched for any unfamiliar cars coming through Kocho.

Readers should be aware that there are graphic descriptions of indignities to a body which some people might find difficult to read.Saeed, who was only a couple of years older than me, spent a lot of his time fantasizing about the day he would finally prove his heroism. This is my first book from Goldy Moldavsky and I will definitely be picking up more from them in the future.
The first part is interesting and smooth sailing giving great insight into the Yazidi culture and Nadia's childhood and so you get quite a shock moving in to part 2 where she gets kidnapped. I loved the character dynamics in this, really intriguing interactions and relationships that were difficult to pin down keeping things unexpected and tense. Pretty much everyone in the group is not what they seem and there were a couple of twists that I guessed and a few I definitely did not.Alternatively, we suggest that you visit your local library and request to borrow a copy from a friendly librarian. I cannot begin to imagine how awful her world must have been and how she has overcome this to fight for human rights.
Will she be able to solve the mysteries and reveal motives and perpetrator(s), or will there be a Last Girl Killed? Drawing on popular horror tropes, The Last Girl borrows the meta-horror from Scream and sets it against the high-stakes lifestyle of Gossip Girl. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Perfect for fans of Pretty Little Liars and Gretchen McNeil, The Last Girl is a heart-pounding thriller that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the very last page.
