Review: Final Girls

Final Girls by Riley Sager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book and read the whole thing in a day. It was a just a genuinely great horror/thriller.

It told the story of Quincy Carpenter who became the only survivor of a massacre that killed her college friends while they were vacationing in a cabin in the woods together. The story tells the tale of three different massacres and their only female survivors and how their lives become entwined when the media labels them all the ‘Final Girls’(like in a horror movie they were the only ones that made it out alive)

The main character Quincy was a flawed and messed up character but the author did a great job of making her likeable despite who the killings had affected her. The story reminded me of Scream (back when horror films were actually good and not just gore fests). There were so many twists and turns in this story and it was a riveting read from beginning to end. I was completely shocked by the big reveal at the end. I also really liked the end of this book I just felt it was so beautifully done, showing the story goes full circle.
