A review by solaceinprose
The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

4.0

I don't know how to feel about this book. It was engaging and I devoured this book within a day, but there seems to be these underlying messages that Grady is trying to put into his books that just get lost. No, not lost. They are clear as day. They just get overlooked while trying to read through another scene where a woman is brutalized, either emotionally or mentally. Also, the same theme of "men ain't shit" has started to become redundant in a sense that they are NEVER support systems for the women in his books. I'm to believe that there wasn't ONE single man in the entirety of this entire novel that actually gave a damn about these women? That they all either wanted them for their own personal gains, to fuck them, or to murder them? It just gets tiresome to read again and again, and it kind of begins to feel that Grady himself is trying to use this theme to get brownie points.

All in all, I liked this far more than A Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and I really did enjoy getting into Lynnette's mind.
