Every time I read a Grady Hendrix novel I’m just so captured by it and have to read it in like a day! This one was no exception! This might be my favourite yet!!  I love that along with being a horror thriller we got some mystery and had to go along with Lynette navigating the situation, making sure we were safe, trying to find the killer. There were so many misdirects which made it so hard to trust anyone! The twists were really good and I loved how we got pieces of each of the 6 women’s back stories woven through the narrative, it just felt really natural when we found out information. Also I loved the inserts of different articles and media between the chapters, it was a really good touch and honestly the whole book was great commentary on how we treat women and victims of violence and the commercialism of it all. That said I would really love a movie from this I can’t lie! It’d be amazing!! Side note for how the chapters were named, that was just a really fun touch having the chapter titles be “final girls: ____” like a movie franchise! Obsessed!

3.5 stars

i really did enjoy this but it is most definitely a suspenseful thriller rather than a horror. i didn't see the plot twist coming and i got whiplash trying to keep straight of everything that was happening. grady hendrix really can write anxiety tho.
