The Last House on the Street

Diane Chamberlain does it again! She is flawless at weaving together the past and present in a way that hooks readers and keeps them engaged! I will read anything by her!

I loved this book. Read it in one sitting. Hard topic to touch on but was so beautifully written. The characters pull you right in to their lives.
Was grateful to receive an arc of this book. Love this author she never seems to disappoint.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for an early release of this book.

Diane Chamberlain transports us back so rawly to 1965. You feel the fear and hatred and passion of all the characters, and hate and fear and love equally for them.

The story is told in alternating timelines as we wait for the past and present to collide, and collide it does. The pace of the book is perfect. A quick read (because you won’t want to put it down) We get to know each of the characters and wish we could have more time with them (the good ones 😉).

I’ve long been a fan of Diane Chamberlain and her newest novel does not disappoint. What does disappoint, however, is that some of the freedoms people fought for in 1965 are still being fought for today.

This book tells the story of small towns of the 60's in the south during civil rights, issues of the heart and hurtful secrets. Diane takes us back and forth between the mid 60's to today. With the struggle of one to help with the racial injustice while her family and friends turn away and today how a new widower causes the past to jump back but with the truth. There is murder, lies, mistrust and resolution. Highly recommend reading this and any of Diane Chamberlain's books.

Absolutely wrecked. This book was perfectly and emotionally written. I don’t think she could have written a better story. Five million stars and all the feels for this book.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I received a complimentary copy of The Last House on the Street from NetGalley.  Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Where to begin?! This is another fantastically written novel by one of my favorite authors, Diane Chamberlain. She has an innate ability to allow the reader to connect on a deeper level with her characters. In this book, I found myself especially drawn to the historical part of the dual timeline. Ellie’s love story and the mystery from her youth kept me riveted throughout the unfolding of the entire tangled plot. This is a great book, that I will likely read again soon!

I received an ARC of THE LAST HOUSE ON THE STREET by Diane Chamberlain. This dual storyline novel blends genres to tell the story of two different woman living on the same street in NC in different decades. Ellie’s story is a historical novel set in the turbulent 60s. She is a NC college student who signs up to work with a civil rights group putting her in the path of violence, bigotry & hatred. Kayla’s story is a contemporary thriller. She is a young widow who moves into a new house with her small child. Strange things start to happen escalating into disturbing vandalism. Ellie and Kayla’s stories converge in this gripping tale that kept me reading into the night. This novel is scheduled to be released January 11, 2022.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diane Chamberlain’s book “The Last House on the Street”, was a hard to put down novel, that takes the reader back and forth from 1965 to 2010. Ms. Chamberlain does an excellent job depicting life in North Carolina during the 1960’s and the civil unrest and racism that commonly tolerated. I am never disappointed by Diane Chamberlain’s book, and ‘The Last House on the Street” was no exception. Highly recommend this book.

It's 1965 and Ellie defies her parents to join in a movement she is very passionate about. It's her actions that set a chain of events that affects her future and the future of many others.

It's 2010 and Kayla is about to move into her dreamhouse, created and built by her and her now deceased husband. And strange things begin to happen and she protects her daughter from an unseen adversary.

It is Kayla who uncovers the truth and all that occurred in 1965, raising questions about the people in your life that you THINK you know.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an eARC of this book.

Diane Chamberlain knocks it out of the park with her newest title, The Last House on the Street. Told in alternating times, we learn about Ellie, a rising civil rights warrior in 1965, and Kayla, a newly widowed mother in 2010, and what really happened on Hockley Street and how it ties these two stories tie together.

Chamberlain continues to blow me away with her character development and storyline. I love how she can weave two stories together and center it around small, important (and mostly forgotten about) historical events. 10/10 would recommend this story to anyone who loves Diane Chamberlain or a good historical fiction novel.

Diane Chamberlain is a powerhouse and I think she doesn’t get the recognition she deserves for her ability to mix genres. This book is labeled as historical fiction but also could be categorized as Mystery or Suspense. She expertly weaves a tale that makes you want to read more to find out how it is going to end and that ending does not disappoint.

The Last House on The Street goes back and forth between 1965 and 2010 and touches on so many important topics like racial injustices, prejudice but is also a story about love and loss and redemption. This was an excellent novel and one that should be read in this day and age.

The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain was such an enthralling read. This historical fiction novel drew me in to the last page. The characters were well developed and went through many trials and emotions that my heat ached for them. The dual timeline aspect was so great. I really enjoy books with that feature. A must read.!

***** I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my honest review. *****

Thanks to Netgally and St. Martin's Press for an e-arc of Diane Chamberlain's new novel, The Last House on the Street .due for release in January, 2022.

This is historical fiction concerning The Scope Project. If you grew up in the 60s, you may remember some of the events from this time period. It tells the story of Ellie in 1965 and Kayla in 2010 in a small town in NC.

As always, Diane Chamberlain's writing is spot on, her character development is great, and she has a knack for putting you right in the story.

If you love historical fiction, please give this book a try.

Another bingeworthy tale from the amazing Diane Chamberlain. Any time I read her books, I get a huge book hangover because she transports me directly to the story. Loved it!

This story has it all using a dual time line 1965 and 2010. The story involves to two families that have a mysterious and very sad past..

Diane Chamberlain writes with so much feeling and heart. Her books grab you from the moment you pick it up until you get it finished. You feel what the characters in her story feel and this book definitely had feels.

The story of Reed and Ellie and Kayla and Rainie will have you reading past your bedtime to make sure you read this book in one sitting.

Thank you to #netgalley, #stsimonpublishing for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
