🔪 A White-Knuckle Psychological Thriller Set in a Mysterious Desert Retreat

From New York Times bestselling author Julia Bartz comes The Last Session, a dark, twist-filled thriller where a social worker’s past and present collide in a high-stakes game of survival.

A Mysterious Patient. A Haunting Past. A Deadly Retreat.

When a catatonic woman arrives at the psychiatric unit, social worker Thea is convinced she knows her. But before Thea can uncover the truth, the woman disappears without a trace.

Determined to find her, Thea follows a chilling trail of clues to a secluded New Mexico wellness retreat, run by a charismatic yet unsettling couple. What starts as a search for answers soon turns into a dangerous game—one where secrets are exposed, minds are manipulated, and escape may not be an option.

If She Stays for the Last Session, She Might Never Leave

Forced into increasingly disturbing psychological exercises, Thea realizes she’s closer than ever to uncovering the truth about her past and the missing woman—but at what cost? As the final session looms, one wrong move could mean losing her mind…or her life.

🔥 Dark, suspenseful, and utterly addictive, The Last Session is perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, locked-room mysteries, and cult-driven suspense.
