*I requested a copy of this for review, from the publisher, in exchange for an honest review*

I holy smokes! I feel like I just read the script for this years biggest thriller movie.This book sucked me in, and didn't let me go from it's grasp, until I reached the very last page. This book had me feeling so much anger, and there were some characters that I was so mad at, I just didn't want them around Quincy.

I was bouncing from theory to theory, who did it? It MUST be..... and then I come to the end, and I am completely BLOWN away. Major kudos to the author for that gut punch ending. Do yourself a favor guys, and don't hesitate buying this one!

Confession time - I read this book in one sitting because I just couldn’t bring myself to put it down. It was absolutely addictive and kept me in suspense the entire time. I find it hard to believe that this is Riley Sager’s debut novel because of how absolutely fantastic it was (She’s now on my list of auto-buy authors).

Quincy Carpenter is one of three Final Girls, survivors of a horror movie-esque massacres. Sam and Lisa are the other two Final Girls and, while they are bound by an experience others cannot understand, the three are all attempting to put the past behind them and move on. Quincy is now the mastermind behind a highly successful baking blog and has a steady boyfriend. Then she received the news that Lisa committed suicide. While Quincy is reeling from the news, Sam shows up and starts to challenge Quincy to remember the past she was never able to recall before. When new details turn up regarding Lisa’s death, Quincy must determine who to trust and recollect what truly happened that night at Pine Cottage before it’s too late.

The characterization was wonderful. Sager did an excellent job of portraying Quincy’s inner turmoil and showing the affect that Sam has on her. Quincy is a deeply flawed but ultimately relatable character. It was very interesting to see her deal with survivors guilt, become increasingly paranoid, and struggle with her repressed memories of that horrific night. The other characters were all well-developed.

The plot itself was intricately plotted and incredibly smart. Each new piece of information the reader finds out causes them to challenge previous assumptions. However, despite the many twists and turns, the ending drew them all together into a conclusion that left me absolutely stunned and amazed.

I would recommend this to any fan of the mystery/thriller genre. This book was gripping, intense, and utterly chilling. I would be highly surprised if this book is not incredibly popular when it’s released.
