Reviews with content warning for Murder - Final Girls

Like with all of Sager’s books, this was a quick easy fun little read that held my attention throughout. However, this is probably my least favorite Riley Sager book that I’ve read so far.

First off, I think I hated every single character in this book. And not even in like an interesting way where they were fun to hate, they were just all insufferable and I really did not give a shit about what happened to them. They were unintelligent and unlikable.

Secondly, I felt like the story had too many red herrings for my liking. I know some other people said that they were able to predict the ending, so many this is just a me problem, but I felt like it came out of nowhere.

That said, I really did not hate this book at all and found it entertaining and I did think that it had a satisfying conclusion.

Compelling little thriller, this one. I will admit I did not see the end coming!

A combination of slasher/final girl story and thriller, this novel follows Quinn, who survived as a final girl a decade prior. After the death of a friend and mentor of hers, another final girl, a series of events force Quinn to recon with her current life, her lack of memory over what happened a decade prior, and to re-evaluate who she holds close.

Quite enjoyed this one! CWs mostly jive with the kind of novel this is, but do note that drug abuse does not refer to the abuse of illegal/illicit drugs, but prescription ones by a main character.

jesus christ. actively looking for a plot twist and i missed it completely. very well written but very graphic. i’d rate it higher if the whole middle section hadn’t been so hard to get through bc i don’t do well with spiraling and also repeated mentions of sh
