This was suchhhh a good book!  My first read from Riley Sagar and I loved it so much I’m hopping right into another one.  I was curious and intrigued through the whole thing and at times, even thought the worst.  I feel like it’s a topic we see in movies but rarely get to be curious about in life; so it was the perfect place to really dive into the horrors and trauma of being the lone survivor without… actually having the trauma.

A genuinely impressive book that surprised and excited me. 

Quincy's Final Girls are comprised of three, majorly smart victims. No not victims. Survivors. Quincy Carpenter, Lisa Milner and Samantha Boyd are standout, independent, strong female characters that thrill the reader.
