Final Girls by Riley Sager
Final Girls is my favorite book since Gone Girl. It’s the ultimate thriller, following Quincey Carpenter, a young woman who was the lone survivor among her friends after a devastating attack during their attack. Being the only one who survived, Quincy became a member of a club she certainly didn’t want to belong to–the Final Girls. This club consists of 3 girls who were the lone survivors in group murders. When Lisa, one of the Final Girls, is found dead in her bathtub under mysterious circumstances, Quincy begins to fear what might happen next. She begins to wonder what actually happened that night she survived.
