Last Chance Chicago by Diana DiGangi

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

Last Chance Chicago blew me away! The plot is beyond intense; I couldn’t read it fast enough. I’ve enjoyed many thrillers over the years, but this one is remarkable. I have no doubt DiGangi will rack up some literary awards with this one. The storytelling is too exceptional to be missed. 

Though Diana DiGangi is a seasoned journalist and writer, this is her first work of fiction, and oh what a work of fiction it is! The storytelling is exquisite; DiGangi proves herself to be an impressive storyteller with Last Chance Chicago. It is well-mapped and well-constructed. There is no way to escape the thrilling drama inside its pages. 

Readers will absolutely love the leading ladies. Sam and Amy are flawed in ways that make them real and emotionally relatable. More than anything though, they are likable. They each have an appealing dose of personableness that readers find attractive; one can’t help but be charmed. Together they are even more captivating. Their history can’t be ignored and neither can their love. Readers want them to rekindle their romance as much as they want them to beat the security fraud charges.

Final remarks…

DiGangi is an incredible storyteller and this is an amazing romantic thriller. The pacing is fast and the suspense is gripping. Readers will not want to put it down. I wholeheartedly give Last Chance Chicago two thumbs up.
