The Final Girls Support Group by Grady Hendrix 

Take slasher films, narrow it down to the last surviving girl, the one who finally topples Jason, or Jigsaw, or Freddie, and you have a Final Girl: Lynnette is one of those final girls, but in the real world, and there’s only about 6 of them left. They meet once a week even 20 years later, and now, something’s coming for the final girls, or is it all in Lynnette’s head?

The unreliable narrator aspect of this was so well done. Not only did I question Lynnette’s sanity, but so did she. The pacing of this was well done in the way that it was nonstop, page turning action that kept me on my toes.

This is a first person horror/ thriller, there’s no spice, there’s no romance, but there are many twists and turns along the way. 

I loved Lynnette. She is an extremely paranoid and untrusting character, but has every reason to be. This book does go through the backstories of all of the final girls and what happened to them, and I loved the creativity of them. Lynnette’s is particularly sad and disturbing, and I genuinely just wanted to hug her. 

Loved the writing style in this. The action was well written, characters were exactly who I needed them to be.

Triggers. A lot. A LOT. I would final a full list online for this one, I’m going to miss some if I type them out.
