This was my first of Riley Sanger’s books, and it definitely was a twisty, edge of your seat thriller. Those last 30 pages had me SHOOK. I love a good thriller that gets my adrenaline going and heart beating quickly.
The story follows Quincy who was the lone survivor of a massacre at Pine Cottage. Labeled as a Final Girl the only person she talks to from that horrible night is the cop who saved her, Coop (as she calls him). She doesn’t remember anything that happened, nor does she want to. Now living with her boyfriend in NYC trying to bury the past she thinks she’s left behind…
That is all about to change when Sam shows up at her her door. Sam is the second Final Girl, but why is she showing up now?
When they find out that Lisa, the first Final Girl was found dead it’s a race to find out the truth. Did Lisa really kill herself? Is Sam telling the truth? Why is she so intent on making Quincy relive that horrific night?
With twists and turns and a quick plot this story hooked me from the start. Riley Sager wrote an addictive thriller that kept me guessing until the end. My mind is still twisting trying to wrap my head around that ending! Riley Sager has quickly become a new favorite thriller author! Can’t wait to read more of his books!
