“If you liked Gone Girl, you’ll like this.”—Stephen King

Ten years ago, six friends went on vacation. One made it out alive….

In that instant, college student Quincy Carpenter became a member of a very exclusive club—a group of survivors the press dubbed “The Final Girls”: Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who endured the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape the massacre at Pine Cottage. Despite the media's attempts, the three girls have never met.

Now, Quincy is doing well—maybe even great, thanks to her Xanax prescription. She has a caring almost-fiancé; a popular baking blog; a beautiful apartment; and a therapeutic presence in Coop, the police officer who saved her life. Her mind won’t let her recall the events of that night; the past is in the past…until the first Final Girl is found dead in her bathtub and the second Final Girl appears on Quincy's doorstep.

Blowing through Quincy's life like a hurricane, Sam seems intent on making her relive the trauma of her ordeal. When disturbing details about Lisa's death emerge, Quincy desperately tries to unravel Sam's truths from her lies while evading both the police and bloodthirsty reporters. Quincy knows that in order to survive she has to remember what really happened at Pine Cottage.

Because the only thing worse than being a Final Girl is being a dead one.

I sort of saw it coming

About 45 minutes in to this book, I sort of figured out what was going on but it was still a good read. The twists, turns were interesting but I feel like the author might have assumed we're all naive and dumb. It was frustrating in parts to listen to Quinn be so lame.

It could have been better but I'm thankful it wasn't worse.

Amazing Listen

Great book full of twists and turns that are unexpected yet brilliantly placed. The fast paced mystery will keep any reader on the end of their seat wanting to hear more about Quincy, the other final girls and those around them.

Avid reader

This book was well worth the credit or price. It was creepy, suspenseful and loaded with surprises. It was a little long but not boring. The ending I never guessed, although I thought I had things figured out several times but was wrong every time. If you enjoy psychological thrillers, you'll enjoy this one. Narration was done well.

Disappointing

I read the reviews on the book and thought it would be a good listen. I felt like the book was never ending and there was no big climax. The story was mediocre at best

Good thriller!

Had a touch of Gillian Flynn, with the messy female friendship. Got it on a whim, and I really enjoyed this. Only complaint is that during the flashback scenes, the narrator sounds like a voice-to-text robot.
