the not so great stuff: literally no diversity. characters were frustrating as hell, especially quincy.
while the writing and plot managed to hook me in, i wasn't impressed by anything else so i don't know if i can say i would recommend this.

Little did I know that I was coming down the first hill of this rollercoaster ride, so when I picked this book up again and started from the beginning I was ready.
This is like an 80's slasher movie crossed with Hitchcock because I never saw that ending coming, never, and I am pretty good at predicting what will happen. Riley Sager of course led me on to believe I was right, but right near the end pulled the rug from under me and told me I was completely wrong.
My head is just spinning and because it was his debut novel it was excellent. This was a tease of a book and some may it's a little slow in the beginning and perhaps you're right, but it didn't hamper my experience, yes, it was a bit of a slow burn, but every chapter had a kernel of something new to mull over.
So, let's break this down a bit. Quinn is a Final Girl basically an only survivor of a mass killing and there are two more just like her, Sam and Lisa. The story opens on the news of Lisa's suicide which upsets Quinn who is living quietly in New York with her boyfriend Jeff, who is a public defender, when she hears the news and I believe it's from Coop the cop who rescued her that fateful night when the massacre happened. He likes to keep in touch with her to make sure she's doing okay. Because of the suicide Sam the other final girl comes out if hiding to meet Quinn and ends up staying with her for some time.
Things get a little dicier when questions arise about if Lisa killed herself or if someone murdered her. Sam is also hiding a few secrets of her own that could potentially put Quinn in danger. Then the question of Quinn's memory of that night, why doesn't she remember or is she knowingly protecting someone or did the killer have help?
Find out more by reading it.
Content/trigger warnings: violence, murder, sex, a little foul language, mentions of rape, inappropriate touching, and I think that's most of it. Be advised that this is a thriller and not meant for everyone to read.
Enjoy!
