“If you liked Gone Girl, you’ll like this.”—Stephen King

Ten years ago, six friends went on vacation. One made it out alive….

In that instant, college student Quincy Carpenter became a member of a very exclusive club—a group of survivors the press dubbed “The Final Girls”: Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who endured the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape the massacre at Pine Cottage. Despite the media's attempts, the three girls have never met.

Now, Quincy is doing well—maybe even great, thanks to her Xanax prescription. She has a caring almost-fiancé; a popular baking blog; a beautiful apartment; and a therapeutic presence in Coop, the police officer who saved her life. Her mind won’t let her recall the events of that night; the past is in the past…until the first Final Girl is found dead in her bathtub and the second Final Girl appears on Quincy's doorstep.

Blowing through Quincy's life like a hurricane, Sam seems intent on making her relive the trauma of her ordeal. When disturbing details about Lisa's death emerge, Quincy desperately tries to unravel Sam's truths from her lies while evading both the police and bloodthirsty reporters. Quincy knows that in order to survive she has to remember what really happened at Pine Cottage.

Because the only thing worse than being a Final Girl is being a dead one.

A Gripping Idea, Weighed Down by a Far-Fetched Ending

There are three ‘Final Girls’, the sole survivors of separate massacres, labelled as such by the press. Now one of them is dead, and the other one shows up on Quincy’s doorstep, digging far too deeply into her past… But why? I liked the idea of this thriller and its characters. Quincy is a truly likable protagonist. But that’s pretty much where the positive aspects of this book end. The majority of the plot felt incredibly sluggish. The focus was too much on the characters, leaving the story itself largely stagnant. I guessed the final twist early on, and in the end, the full resolution felt too far-fetched. It worked for me as an audiobook to listen to in the background while I was knitting, but only because of Stephanie Cannon’s excellent narration.

Ich verstehe, warum so viele Leute Riley Sager lieben! Ich dachte, ich wüsste den Twist, aber dann kam eine echte Überraschung - und noch eine! Das Buch ist so fesselnd geschrieben, dass man es kaum aus der Hand legen kann. Außerdem bekommen wir Rückblenden in die Nacht „des Vorfalls“ aus einer allwissenden Erzähl-Perspektive, was ich stilistisch echt sehr cool fand. Die Auflösung der Identität und des Motivs des Mörders hat mich nicht zu 100 % überzeugt, aber bei Thrillern kommt es meiner Meinung nach vor allem auf das Leseerlebnis an, und ich war definitiv gefesselt.

2020 gehört über Scribd, jetzt Everand. War mein zweiter Sager. Fand es gut, aber reicht nicht an Home before Dark dran.

Ich bin enttäuscht... Der klappentext hat sich so viel versprechend angehört aber die Geschichte war ganz anders als was da drauf stand... Es lässt sich gut lesen aber ist jetzt nichts besonderes... Das Ende war schwach... Der letzte Satz war einfach nur lächerlich... So ein Satz wo man nur die Augen verdrehen will..

Mochte das Buch leider garnicht. Habe aufgrund der Beschreibung etwas anderes erwartet. Schon das 2. Buch des Autors, dass nicht meinen Geschmack trifft. Glaube Riley Sager ist nichts für mich.

SO FREAKING GOOD.

Suchtfaktor!!! Dieses Buch ist ein absoluter Pageturner. Die Geschichte um Lisa, Sam und Quincy ist so spannend und fesselnd. Ein richtig guter Thriller. Ich hatte so viele verdächtige und am Ende war es ganz anders. Spannende Geschichte, wobei ich ein Stern abziehen muss, da das Ende für mich arg konstruiert wirkte. ***Coop, Quincys Retter, ermordete ihre Freunde aufgrund einer psychischen Krankheit und verliebte sich in sie. Erst am Ende kommt alles ans Licht, auch das Sam, eigentlich Tina ist, eine Freundin von Quincys angeblichem Täter. Beide überführen Coop am Ende. ***

3,5 stars I really liked the writing and how the author revealed some parts of the mystery. I will definitely read more books from this author in the future! The audiobook was fantastic too! I recommend!

1/5 Stars. The first 85% of the book was just repeating the same things over and over. Don’t think I could hear “are you okay” one more time. The main character had zero depth other than the grape juice. Literally the only action happened in the last 20 pages, and it was extremely predictable. So sad to give this one star because the house across the lake got 4.75

4 or 4.5 (i honestly don't know i just really enjoyed it!!!) i think this book got me out of the worst reading slump ever. (i couldn't read for a month and a half, it was terrible) seriously, this book has so much power. can't wait to read something else by riley sager, because i'm sure that he is going to continue delivering great content. p.s. i can't decide if i am smart because i i had one scenario in my head that turned out to be the right one or i am just a dumbass because i kept switching between two scenarios till the fucking end. basically, my update of the book where i said that the ending is easy to guess is wrong and i am a stupid bitch
