Final Girls by Riley Sager
4.0

I received a free copy of this book from Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review.

Quincy Carpenter is known as a Final Girl after surviving a massacre that killed all of her friends. When one of the three known Final Girls dies in mysterious circumstances, the remaining woman shows up on Quincy’s doorstep. Quincy starts to wonder if there could be someone after the Final Girls, but who could it be?

This was a really highly anticipated book for me, and I’m so glad i got the opportunity to read it at last. This book was creepy, mind-turning, freaky and just crazy all at the same time and i loved seeing how the characters showed every side of themselves - the good and the bad!

I thought this was very well-written and well-crafted. It did start off a little bit slow for me at first but by the middle it began to pick up and then the ending was a good thrill. I do think parts of it could have even been scarier but there were moments in the flashbacks particularly when my heart was in my throat (even though I knew who would and wouldn’t survive!).

This book is definitely one that keeps you questioning the entire time. I had so many ideas about what was going on and while some of them were correct, i ended up continuously second guessing myself and I loved that. Everyone is a little bit unreliable, including Quincy herself.

This is definitely one to give a go, particular for people who do like slasher movies and even for those that don't (like me!).
