There is a killer on the loose and a ghost in her house, and Willa is freaking out. Famous Last Words tells a story of Willa, a girl who gets dragged to Hollywood during a period of murders and is haunted by an angry ghost. It is a story of new friendships, family, and murder. Famous Last Words keeps a consistent pattern of suspense, confusion, mystery, and interest that makes it hard to put down.

 Willa’s mom marries a new man who happens to be a famous movie director, and drags Willa out to Hollywood to start a new life. The house they live in is one that used to be for a 1930’s actress who died in the house, while a chain of murders is happening in the area. It seems as though there can’t be enough death in her life, and it freaks Willa out. The Hollywood Killer reenacts famous movie death scenes with young actresses, and they are all her age. There is also a ghost in her house who tries to send her messages, and she thinks that they might be linked to the murders. She starts seeing things, like a dead body in her pool and writing on the walls. If she doesn’t confront the ghost and figure out the confusion, she might lose herself, her friends, and her family.

Famous Last Words is a suspenseful book that keeps you interested and will make you never want to put it down. If you don’t like upsetting stories that have even the slightest chance of making you uncomfortable, you might not want to read this thriller. It involves death and other intense scenes that could be upsetting, but other than that it is a great read. It also has 300+ pages, but it’s no problem once you start reading it. Once you start Famous Last Words, you won’t stop. It is a creepy, mysterious book that has many interesting plot twists and characters. I picked it up and finished it an hour later. You won’t regret reading Famous Last Words.

 In conclusion, Famous Last Words is a great mystery that maintains a suspenseful, interesting plot. In the midst of murders, a girl deals with a ghost and self-doubt, and figures out her mess of a life. Famous Last Words is a great book that keeps you reading and keeps you interested. I highly recommend reading Famous Last Words.
