Have you ever read a book that shook your emotions and made you feel raw from the heartache of the story? I just finished reading The Last Hour by Charles Sheehan-Miles and I would have to say that it is a heartbreaking, beautiful love story that is going to stay with me for a long time. The love story that develops between Ray and Carrie was intense and strong for two people who just met but knew in their hearts that this other person was THE ONE for them. Ray and Carrie met when he was in town visiting his friend Dylan, and Carrie was also there to visit her sister Alex, Dylan’s girlfriend. One look said it all for Ray and Carrie. Though they spent little time together that weekend, they stayed connected via phone calls and texting, and built a real connection that quickly developed into a loving relationship they both wanted for the long run. Unfortunately some serious difficulties make it hard for both Ray and Carrie, and they must pull strength from their relationship to love and support as they get through this stressful time. What I took away from their story is that you should never take for granted the time you have with loved ones and the choices we make can have serious consequences that can definitely ripple through and affect many people.

It is a well written story and I loved how the author was able to weave both points of view of the main characters, and how the past and the present flowed effortlessly back and forth throughout the book. It was a slow build of the emotions that I felt for this couple, and it broke my heart at times and moved me to tears during certain scenes. The whole plot was riveting with a few twists here and there kept me reading way into the night because I couldn’t put it down. I can’t express enough how heartbreaking it was to finish it and even hours later it still haunts me as I recall poignant scenes of Ray loving Carrie so much it still makes my heart hurt. The Last Hour is written as a standalone and is part of the Thompson Sisters series, so you don’t have to read the others first. However, I would recommend you do because with each new story the writing gets better and you feel a growing attachment for each of the Thompson sisters. It may sound crazy that I would recommend you read a story that will make you cry and hurt but it was one of the best stories I have ever read.

The Last Hour Charles SheehanMiles 9780988273672 Books Reviews

've now had some time to detach myself emotionally from this story, because trust me - it's a necessary requirement for the emotional turmoil I went through! I was honored to be a beta-reader for The Last Hour and couldn't wait to get started on it. All throughout and especially once I finished, the one word that came to mind was simply BRILLIANT. Charles Sheehan-Miles has outdone himself with this one and I can only imagine if he will ever be able to top it!

The Last Hour continues with the story of one of five Thompson sisters. Just Remember to Breathe is the story of Alex and A Song for Julia is about, well, Julia. So in The Last Hour we finally get Carrie's story. You don't have to read the other two to read this one, but certain things will be spoiled for you if you don't read the others first.

Carrie meets Ray Sherman when she comes to New York to visit her sister, Alex, at college at the same time Ray is visiting his best friend Dylan, Alex's boyfriend. Now fast-forward to The Last Hour where it opens with a bang, literally.

A major car accident puts Ray in the hospital fighting for his life and we soon learn that the last several months have been pure hell on both Carrie and Ray. Ray has come forward about a crime he witnessed in Afghanistan but as a result is accused himself and is now facing court-martial. Along with Ray's legal troubles, Carrie's fellowship is in jeopardy when a former jealous coworker makes erroneous allegations against her and her research. Add the car accident on top of everything and you can feel the turmoil. The Last Hour takes us on their journey from how they meet to the fate of the court-martial, false allegations and car accident. And it's not a pretty ride but redemption is at it's finest.

What I loved about The Last Hour is that even though Ray is unconscious and fighting to stay alive for the life he promised Carrie, we get his POV frequently throughout the story. We get to hear his side of what happened in Afghanistan, what he was thinking when he first met Carrie, him struggling to regain consciousness while trying to encourage both Sarah, Carrie's younger sister who was also hurt in the accident and is unconscious, and Daniel, a young boy who is also unconscious and scared. We get to see a side of Ray that we never got before and we certainly come to understand him and his actions a lot better.

Ray's POV is almost as gut wrenching as Carrie's as the love of her life is fighting for his life and she struggles to remain in control of each and every situation. But both points of view will leave you in tears more than once, so bring your tissues with you wherever you read. But Ray and Carrie will also make you laugh; with their back and forth banter and quoting of Star Wars, you can see why they are so good for each other. Never have I rooted for a couple more than Ray and Carrie.

We learn more about the Thompson family and are given clues to the upcoming stories - I'm especially looking forward to Andrea's story!
Anyone who has read the other books will know that Adelina Thompson is on a journey of her own as she struggles to be the mother she should have been so many years ago. I was quite fascinated with her transformation and will continue to root for her.

At over 500 pages, The Last Hour was quite the journey but so worth every emotion I experienced. Despite the length, I still wasn't ready to let go and craved more. I can't wait for Andrea's story just so I can have more of this one. That's one of my favorite things about this "series" is that even though the author moves on to other main characters, we're never left without an update on the story line of the others.

In the end, it was worth every tear and every ounce of hope I pushed towards them and will without a doubt top the list of Best Books Ever for me.
Let me start off with a warning....you need Kleenex and wine or whiskey handy while reading this book. The Last Hour was such a raw, emotional book and it left me reeling at times, crying and distraught as Carrie & Ray 's story unfolded in front of me from the very first page. I fell in love with Ray & Carrie while reading Alex & Dylan's story in Just Remember to Breathe. I fell in love with Carrie a little more in A Song For Julia (Julia & Crank's story) and couldn't wait for her to get her own story. I also wanted to get to know Sarah and Jessica better and I hope to see Sarah's story in the future...
The Last Hour left me heartbroken, but still hopeful. It left me emotionally drained, but still not wanting to move on from it. And it left me both loving and cursing Charles for writing their story in such a way that you are pulled right into their lives, experiencing everything WITH them while it happens, and feeling their love, heartache, stress and hope as if it was your own. I have never had as strong an emotional reaction to a book as I did The Last Hour; I found myself willing things to go one way when I saw them going another, wishing for a different outcome at times, and now even hours after finishing the book, I find myself still not able to get it out of my head and wondering what happens next because I don't think Carrie's story is over just yet.
An amazingly well written, emotional story that will have you laughing at times and bawling your eyes out at others, but never wishing you hadn't experienced it.
