If you love thrillers packed with twists — and then twists on top of those twists — you’re in the right place. Today, Jim dives into Final Girls by Riley Sager, a mystery-thriller that refuses to let you get comfortable. Just when you think you’ve figured it out… think again. And again. And again.

In this spoiler-lite review, Jim breaks down what makes this book such a gripping ride, why Quincy Carpenter is a standout protagonist, how Sager uses memory loss and flashbacks to build tension, and why this novel had Jim theorizing from chapter one straight through to the final reveal.

Whether you’re a slasher fan, a mystery lover, or just someone who appreciates clever misdirection, this one earns a spot on your TBR.
