I was given a free copy by the author in exchange for an honest review. To be honest, Mr Grede did a great job with this story. I was thoroughly interested from page one and it kept my attention. The Last Human was in a way similar to other books that I have read, but with a unique twist. A world was overtaken by vampires. Where humans once flourished we are met with a world filled with vampires and other 'creatures' that exist in a shadow zone. We follow Jake through his life and his daily routines and learn more about him as each page turns. We are faced with a young boy who has been adopted by a leader of the vampires, and so his life was already full of peril at one time. His 'adopted father' Lexus took him in and cared for him. He wants to show him what it is like to have a stable loving family, and it seems that Lexus has provided that. I don't want to give any more away from the story so I will stop there.What I can say about the book though is that I enjoyed the plot. I wish, however, that it would have been longer. It seems like I just picked the book up and had to put it down because it ended. It left me wanting more, which is always a good thing.I can say that the book could use another look over by an editor as there were some mistakes with some words be it confused words or maybe the author got excited while writing and left out letters or used the wrong word here and there. otherwise, I truly enjoyed the book. I may have just noticed the latter because I work as an editor so I am trained to catch these sorts of mistakes.What I can definitely attest to is that I will be the first in line waiting for book two because I want to see what happens to Jake and the various other characters throughout the story. So, if you love a good apocalyptic book about vampires and the last remaining humans I highly suggest giving this book a try. It is one that I truly enjoyed and cannot wait to read more from this author! Congrats on a job well done Mr Grede.
