Truly couldn't stand the first half of the book. The main character ignored all of the red flags, and then, when she found out certain information,
I was reeled back in by the second half though. Less 'screaming at the girl running up the stairs instead of out the front door' vibes. More plot

This was fast paced and kept me on my toes. It had turns and twists and the ending was written well. Very satisfied with this read.

A book with a road trip?! And on top of that a scary road trip with a possible crazy ass serial killer?! Be still my wildly thumping heart!! Unfortunately my beating heart soon turned to a sedated luuubbb duuupppโฆ..luuubbb duuuppp rhythm rather quickly after getting started on Survive the Night. Someone get me a defibrillator! โฃ
โฃ
Itโs 1991 Charlie is fleeing school after her best friend Maddy is murdered by the serial killer dubbed the Campus Killer. It wasnโt just her death thatโs eating at her, itโs also the guilt that Charlie could have stopped it had she just stayed with her friend. โฃ
She meets Josh at the ride share board and decides to hitch a ride home even if it is dangerous to accept a ride from a stranger right about now. She needs to get off campus.โฃ
On the twisted night journey home Charlieโs movie addled brain takes hold and starts to notice things donโt seem to be adding up about Josh. Why doesnโt he want her to see whatโs in his trunk and why does his Drivers License have a different name? Could Charlie be in the car with a killer? Is her movie induced brain seeing things that arenโt there? Throughout the ride home Charlie and Josh play a cat and mouse game and itโs anybodyโs guess if sheโll make it out of the car alive.โฃ

-First of all Charlieโs delusions in the way she โsawโ movies in her head really irked me. I thought it was a bit harebrained. Give the girl another mental disorder if you want to make her an unreliable narrator. Not something that sounds so completely made up. โฃ
-Charlie was also super weak in the beginning. I hate whiny, weak MCโs. All that woes is me crap just turns me off.โฃ
-The story was a bit slow and way to repetitive in the beginning for my tastes but it did pick up in the second half โฃ
-The ending really was a bit half cocked to me. A lot of it didnโt make sense and I found it frustrating.โฃ
-I pretty much figured out the whole scheme of things way too early.โฃ
โฃ
๐๐ซ๐จโ๐ฌ:โฃ
-Charlie got a back bone! It was late and she was still pretty stupid but she showed some guts and and I enjoyed her Iโm done being a wimp bad-assery โฃ
-I liked the 90โs nostalgia. The music, the lack of cell phones or GPS. Charlie having to rely on a Pay Phone to get help. โฃ
-The second half was much better paced. โฃ-The premise itself was not bad. It just went sideways with the execution. โฃ
โฃ
I absolutely loved Riley Sagers Final Girls. I keep trying to find that magic within his other books. Sadly Survive the Night was another sorely lacking. I still have a couple books to go before I determine it was a one off, but I truly hope not. โฃ
