Overall a good read that I was happy with. Started slow (understandably) and really ramped up in the last 100 or so pages. WHAT a twist - worth the slow start. Sorry to Riley Sager, but something about the women characters was…off. Somehow I can tell it was a man writing women.

Kept me so hooked for hours!! Felt it sagging a bit in the middle but the ending saved it. So so good and well written!

Had me going there for a minute, bud. The twist got me. 

Truly despicable characters, all of them, and a unreliable narrator trope that isn't exactly what it seems. This was fun, and while I don't normally like books that end all wrapped up with a bow, this one felt complete.

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

• Started off pretty strong and was intrigued with the pine cottage chapters. 
• 38% in and sin wondering where this is all going to go. It feels like Sam has an agenda, but to what? Money for exposing her?
• 50% in and am interested that one of the other final girls was murdered 
• Dropped this book for a little bit as my loan had lapsed. Back into it and wondering where it’s going to go from here. 

• Quincy being the murderer would be a twist I could see this author going with. 
  • Alright alright I wasn’t expecting that! Coop being the murderer and staying close to Quincey wasn’t in my theories.
  • Also didn’t see Tina not actually being Sam.
