The Final Girl
What and interesting and unexpected book! It was a perfect last-read before Halloween. We have been binging The Last Drive In and partaking in all of the B-Movie lore, especially as it relates to some of the bigger franchises like Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. This book turned that formula on it's head and was a great addition to the spooky/slasher cannon.
Enough twists and red herrings to remove the predictability and keep you guessing. The Mom-Cop reminded me of Under Devil's Bridge, but it didn't feel like the same book, just texture for the character.
All in all - 4 1/2 of 5 stars.
