Book description
Let's be real: being a Final Girl isn't exactly a career path you'd recommend on LinkedIn. But Riley Sager's Final Girls? It's the thriller you didn't know you needed to hear while scrolling through your baking Instagram. And honestly, the audiobook version? Pure, deliciously creepy gold.
Picture this: Quincy Carpenter, survivor of a horror-movie massacre (ten years ago, thank you), is living her best life. She's got a fiancé who actually listens, a baking blog that's basically a serotonin boost, and enough Xanax to make her forget why she's scared of her own shadow. Her past? Locked away like a bad cookie recipe. Then-bam-Lisa, the original Final Girl, is found dead in a bathtub (wrists slit? Classic). And Sam, the second survivor, shows up at Quincy's door like a tornado made of trauma, demanding she remember Pine Cottage. Spoiler: Quincy doesn't remember. And that's the whole point.
The genius? Sager doesn't just tell you about Quincy's panic-he makes you hear it. The audiobook narrator (shoutout to the voice actor who perfectly balances "I'm fine, really" with "I think I just saw a shadow move") turns Quincy's quiet dread into something you feel in your bones. You're baking sourdough while your heart races because what if Sam's lying? What if the police are listening? What if Pine Cottage is still out there?
And the humor? Oh, it's subtle but chef's kiss. Quincy's life is a masterclass in "I've got this" while her reality is crumbling. She's all about "my therapeutic police officer Coop" (who's so chill) while simultaneously realizing her "carefree" life is built on a foundation of amnesia. The book pokes fun at how we all try to Instagram-perfect our trauma: "My life is so normal now! Sips herbal tea #BakingIsHealing." Meanwhile, Sam's showing up unannounced like a bad ex with a knife.
Sager's writing is sharp, the pacing is perfect-you'll be hitting "next chapter" while your cat stares at you like, "Are you still listening to this?" And the twist? Oh, it's not just a twist. It's a revelation that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about Pine Cottage. (Spoiler: It's not the woods. It's you.)
The best part? The author's bio says he's a fan of Mary Poppins. And honestly? Final Girls feels like that perfect blend of cozy and chilling-like if Mary Poppins decided to drop by a murder mystery party and hand you a poisoned cupcake. You'll laugh, you'll gasp, and you'll definitely question why your own kitchen suddenly feels like a murder scene.
So grab the audiobook, turn down the lights, and let Sager's voice guide you through a story where the past won't stay buried-and where the real horror isn't the killer. It's realizing your own life is a little too perfect to be true. (And yes, you will check under your bed tonight. No judgment.)
