Final Girls by Riley Sager
5.0
100% better than the one its always compared to.
I read this book immediately after reading "TFGSG" by Grady Hendrix, just to compare them. (It was also my first Riley Sager book)
This is the definition of "Slasher Thriller," and I loved it from start to finish.
Overall, it perfectly captures the vibes of every slasher film set at a camp without a constant blood bath.
It's told in alternating first and third person POV: through the eyes of Final Girl, Quincey in present day, and a third person retelling of the events at Pine Cottage.
Thanks to this, Sager had me thinking i knew the truth at least twice before the end without ever making it feel predictable or getting boring.
The main character goes on such a mental journey that you can't help but root for her, even when things look absolutely terrible.
Even the worst characters were loveable in their own way, and i feel like the ending rounding the important parts off really well for everyone involved.
10/10 would recommend.
