I must confess my expectations were pretty high going into Final Girls. It's been receiving starred and positive reviews left, right and centre. It keeps popping up on the "must-read thrillers of 2017" lists. So I'll allow that the extent of my disappointment might have something to do with that.Final Girls takes the trope of the "final girl" - the blood-soaked sole survivor that staggers away from a massacre at the end of a horror movie, like Sally Hardesty and Alice Hardy - and attempts to tur...

Let us just take a moment to admire the beauty of my UK edition of this book. My favorite colors together: pink & black =) As you will see in the first picture, it's the standard front cover with brilliant pink and black standing out. Oh, Book Depository I love you and thank you for making my day. This next photo shows you the inside cover flap which is black and goes perfectly with the rest of the book. And in the final ( <--- heh ) picture, we have the freaking awesome black colored outer edge...

3.5 starsI feel like the past 13 reviews I have written have been tough; they all are books that I don’t want to spoil for the reader and am having trouble putting the proper wording forward to describe my feelings. I’m going to try and be brief on this review, but I’ve found myself somewhere in the middle of the opinions I’m seeing spread out over the internet. Yes, if you are a regular reader of thrillers and mysteries you have a good chance of having the whodunnit figured out early on (I don’...

Do you love Teen Scream, or Slasher films? If you answered yes, I would highly recommend you pick up Final Girls by the always fantastic, Riley Sager.Personally, I love Slashers, as well as B-Horror in general and I REALLY enjoyed this book. Yes, I do believe there's a correlation.Let me be clear, calling a movie B-Horror is not shade. It's a feeling. You know the ones: attractive young people, usually high school or college age, getting together, drinking, flirting, making bad choices and befor...

"We were, for whatever reason, the lucky ones who survived when no one else had. Pretty girls covered in blood. As such, we were each in turn treated like something rare and exotic. A beautiful bird that spreads its bright wings only once a decade." Let me start this review by saying that I wanted to love this book. I honestly went into it expecting it to be amazing. Everyone I know who had read it gave it 4+ stars, so that must mean it's flawless, right? Sadly... I must have missed something, b...

I seem to be on a run of really good books at the moment but this one totally blew me away! "Final Girls" by Riley Sager was just SOOOO good!! I was drawn into this intense story from the very first page until the tremendously gripping end. I started this on a Saturday morning and I was a ghost in my house until it was finished Sunday night it is that unputdownable and addictive!"Final Girls" is about three girls, Quincy, Sam and Lisa, sole survivors of three separate murderous killing sprees bu...

i had a weird time reading this. it was unlike any thriller i've read, which at first seemed good and then turned out to definitively not be.https://emmareadstoomuch.wordpress.co...let's get into it. the title "Final Girls" is a reference to a group of 3 women who were the sole survivors of separate serial-killer massacres: Lisa, Samantha, and Quincy (our narrator). they're tabloid darlings each living separate lives (with varying degrees of normalcy) until one of them dies. ooOOH SPOOKY WHAT WI...

I read and really like "The Last Time I Lied" so I picked this book while waiting for "Lock Every Door".Final Girls ended up being okay. Not unputdownable, the twists were fine but I didn't care about the characters as much as I should have.Reviews of all his books: https://youtu.be/SAd1t5LZqus

I really enjoyed this read. It was not flawless by any means, but addictive and thrilling. I would definitely still recommend.CW: murder/gore, substance abuse/alcoholism, adulteryMy favorite thing about this novel is the plot. I was completely captivated all throughout. The beginning was a bit slow and the ending was a little overstimulating, but nonetheless, I was engaged and interested the whole time. Some twists were surprising, others were anticipated but I still wanted the plot to keep deve...

Go with me for a second. Are you under the impression that FINAL GIRLS is about a horror movie? Please tell me I'm not the only one that thought that!That's a huge misconception....The blurb says something about a "horror-movie scale massacre" and that's all I remembered reading before thinking, "SKIP". Not interested in a horror movie remake.Well, I'm proud to announce that FINAL GIRLS is not about a movie. And double proud to announce it is a fun, scary and highly entertaining book!There has b...

As you should all know by now, nothing makes me happier than the brutal murders of teenagers So that means I love slasher films, especially those made in the 80's. The gorier the better. Have I weirded you all out yet? No.Okay than on to the review.I've been wanting to read Final Girls for awhile, I've also been putting off reading Final Girls. I wanted to love it but was afraid I would hate it. If you know me, than you know I mostly read the bad reviews for books I plan on reading. I like to ke...

Well that took me on quite the damn ride.

I'd rate this between 4 and 4.5 stars.This book kicked some serious ass!"We were, for whatever reason, the lucky ones who survived when no one else had. Pretty girls covered in blood. As such, we were each in turn treated like something rare and exotic. A beautiful bird that spreads its bright wings only once a decade."Ten years ago, Quincy Carpenter went to the woods with five of her friends to celebrate her best friend's birthday. But instead of the carefree celebration they planned, that nigh...

My thoughts in a nutshell Riley Sager is one of my favorites thriller authors, but his first book was a massive disappointment for me. It is a very problematic novel; I explain why.The story is about…Skip over this point if you don't like the sneak peek. Three girls experienced and survived some horrific events. They are called Final Girls. But the nightmarish situation continues... What impressed me I don't like too many things about this book. I adored the two timeline perspective. The final

“Final girls is film-geek speak for the last woman standing at the end of a horror movie.”Quincy was the one and only survivor of a horrible massacre that took the lives of her close friends. The media eats it up and gives her the nick-name “A final girl.” They follow up by aligning her with 2 other well-known F.G. survivors. Enter Samantha and Lisa, who each walked away from their own version of hell.Ten years later, Quincy is trying to move on. She has a loving boyfriend and a successful bakin...

This is one of those thrillers that properly got me. I read a lot of these books, watch a lot of stories, and i’ve turned into one of those annoying people that guess the ending and accidentally ruin films/tv shows for other people by pointing out the probable culprit or plot direction early on. After correctly guessing the central twist of The Sixth Sense, and blithely commenting my thoughts to my then partner, he told me never to speak during cinema visits again. Apparently ‘but it’s so obviou...
