THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER "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.

Riley Sager does it again
Sheila S. - 4 years 3 months agoI’m a big fan of the Riley Sager mysteries/thrillers. This and Survive the Night are my favorite.

Good Slasher!
Holly P. - 5 years 3 months ago“Final Girls” is the story of Quincy, who is the sole survivor of a sorority-style massacre 10 years ago. She went to a cabin in the woods to celebrate a friends’ birthday and everyone was killed… except her. Aside from being totally traumatized, the public has put her in a category of “Final Girls” — victims who were the sole survivor of similar-style killings. She has two kindred spirits… until one of them comes up dead. Why? How? WHO? I know this sounds very scary and slashery… but if I can read it, probably you can too (unless you’re really, really scared, of course). There were several twists in this book that I really enjoyed, and one that sent me down a rabbit hole was, WHY was Quincy the sole survivor? The public wanted to know, too. What happened that night? Why was she spared? #SpringPicks

So good!
Melissa H. - 5 years 3 months agoI could not put this book down, I would try to put it down and have to pick it right back up because I HAD to know what was going to happen next. The ending left me absolutely shocked, I didn't see that twist coming from a mile away. I actually bought a copy just so I can loan it out to friends.

Mystery meets horror meets real life monsters
Ashlie N. - 6 years agoIf you love thrillers and horror movies, you will love this book. Quincy is just your average college girl until she becomes the lone survivor of a massacre in the woods. Propelled from anonymous person to the eponymous "final girl," Quincy fights for normalcy and finds it for a short time. She soon finds her life under attack again as one of the three final girls from recent history is brutally murdered and the other pops up after decades off the grid. This book had an excellent twist that I did not see coming. The writing is compelling and the characters complex. Well worth the read.

Great mystery
Tammy C. - 6 years 1 month agoI loved this book. I am addicted to true crime, serial killers, etc and so I was tempted to pick this book up about a group who was murdered and the line surviver becomes friends with survivors from other horrible crimes and the media gives them the name the final girls... Some memories and truth surfaces about what really happened the night all her friends were murdered and there's a chance the true killer is still out there and may do anything necessary to make sure the truth stays hidden
