holly horror story!
this was so much wilder and extremer than expected!
which honestly my own fault for going into a Grant horror story expected a mild horror instead of a “Saw” movie psychological horror show that leaves the reader with a racing heart und unsure if they loved or hated it. because what does it say about you if you enjoy this kind of story?
but i did in the sense that this sweeper me away with the story and took me for the ride the entire way through.
the timing in this book is fantastic.
mit starts slow and unassuming and than once it starts? it just keeps giving in hit after another taking the story into weirder wilder and more horrific moments one after another.
i loved how female this cast of characters was and that Grant really has no issues showing that women can be horrific too.
also the ending? i am not sure if i am frustrated or impressed with how that ended!
all in all?
if you want to read this be ready for a horror show that you don’t expect.
be prepared to read this or listen to it in one go, because once you started this there is no going back until your done!
and by the way? fantastically done audiobook! well read, nicely spoken and recorded and made in a way that you can listen in 1x speed or speed up and still understand everything!
highly recommend!

I was excited to see the novella audiobook available on NetGalley for review for Final Girls by Mira Grant. I've enjoyed reading multiple books by Mira Grant (also known as Seanan McGuire).
This book is about Dr. Jennifer Webb's virtual reality technology with a special medical cocktail to "fix the worst parts of yourself by confronting your worst fears".
Esther Hoffman is a journalist has been trying to debunk this kind of pseudoscience for her whole career. Dr. Webb is willing to let Esther test the her technology in hopes to convince Esther that it works.
This story gives the vibes of near future technology with the horrors of black mirror. There were time in the story where there was some telling not showing but it seemed more because it was from the character's perspective in the virtual reality.
This story did have a twist with real-world threats which I feel that part of the book description summary could have been left out to add more mystery for when you are reading the story.
I enjoyed the audio narrated by Jennifer Pickens of this novella and I can see myself rereading this in the future. 4/5 stars.
Thank you, NetGalley and Tantor Audio for the opportunity to read this book.
