Resumen del Editor

A fast-paced, thrilling horror novel that follows a group of heroines to die for, from the brilliant New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires.

In horror movies, the final girl is the one who’s left standing when the credits roll. The one who fought back, defeated the killer and avenged her friends. The one who emerges bloodied but victorious. But after the sirens fade and the audience moves on, what happens to her?

Lynnette Tarkington survived a massacre 22 years ago, and it has defined every day of her life since. And she's not alone. For more than a decade she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, putting their lives back together, piece by piece. That is until one of the women misses a meeting and Lynnette's worst fears are realized - someone knows about the group and is determined to take their lives apart again, piece by piece.

But the thing about these final girls is that they have each other now, and no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sizzles with action, originality and a gleaming concept as sharp as a scalpel.” (Charlaine Harris)

“A (bloody) valentine to the slasher franchises of the VHS era, but also a smart novel about survivor guilt and the concept of the enduring heroine.” (Kim Newman, author of Anno Dracula)

“Pray for morning, wish for speed and be as quiet as you can, it doesn't matter Grady's Hendrix's Final Girl Support Group already knows where you live and breathe.” (Stephen Graham Jones)

Listen at x1.5 speed!

After reading the reviews of the performance I increased the playback to x1.5 speed from the very beginning and felt that was the perfect speed for the narration.

I’m a total fan of Grady Hendrix and this book certainly did not disappoint!

Interesting premise, doesn’t deliver

Not sure if it’s the distracting narrator (entire book is gushy and read at high intensity) or that it’s one of the few books that doesn’t work as well via audio, but this was a hard slog for me. A review said to listen at 1.5 speed and that helped.
