As a teenager, Quincy Carpenter endured a terrible event at a cabin in the Pennsylvania woods. As the lone survivor of a massacre (one she does not remember), she was labeled by the press a "Final Girl," making her one of three such survivors. Ten years later, Quincy has rebuilt her life in New York City, with a lawyer boyfriend and a popular baking blog. The policeman who saved Quincy that fateful night still checks up on her regularly. Lisa and Samantha, the other two Final Girls whose stories are told as the book unfolds, play important roles, especially when Samantha gets in touch with Quincy to help her realize her internal anger. Soon, the suspense ratchets up with a mysterious murder, violent late-night escapades in Central Park, and the appearance of multiple suspects in past and present crimes. The tale builds to a fantastic conclusion that will have readers thinking of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train.
Copyright 2017 Library Journal. Sager (a pseudonym for a published author) is a "new" star in the making. This brilliant horror/psychological thriller will fly off the shelves. [See Prepub Alert, 2/1/17.]âJason L. Steagall, Gateway Technical Coll. Lib., Elkhorn, WIVERDICT - Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 2017 June #1
When Quincy Carpenter walked away from the Pine Cottage Massacre, she was inducted as the third member of the most exclusive club no one wants to joinâthe Final Girls. Quincy doesn't remember what happened, but when the first Final Girl is found dead of an apparent suicide and the second shows up on her doorstep, it quickly becomes apparent that what started at Pine Cottage may not be finished.
VERDICT Filled with twists, turns, unreliable characters, and references to horror film culture, Sager's debut psychological thriller promises to keep readers guessing until the very end.
