Summary
Ever wonder what happens to those Final Girls？ After the cops eliminate them as suspects， after the press releases their brace-faced， pizza-cheeked， bad-hair-day class photos that inevitably get included on the cover of the true crime book？ After the candlelight vigils and the moments of silence， after someone plants the memorial shrub？” For Lynette Tarkington， it’s been a support group。 Her， five other final girls， a therapist。 Close to twenty years。 Today’s the last day for group， but Lynne doesn’t know it yet。 It’s also going to be the last day for one of the group。 And maybe the final day for all of the final girls， because someone’s been planning a nasty surprise for them for a long time。

Overall Rating: 4/5‘The Final Girl Support Group’ by Grady Hendrix is a fun， fast paced and different read - much like the authors other successful past releases。The book itself is about ‘the last girls standing’ in horror stories， you know the ones？ Covered in blood and surrounded by the wreckage of all that she ever knew， but still breathing。 That standard trope。 Well in this world there a whole bunch of them who have managed to crawl out of the fires， outsmart axe wielding murderers at camps Overall Rating: 4/5‘The Final Girl Support Group’ by Grady Hendrix is a fun， fast paced and different read - much like the authors other successful past releases。The book itself is about ‘the last girls standing’ in horror stories， you know the ones？ Covered in blood and surrounded by the wreckage of all that she ever knew， but still breathing。 That standard trope。 Well in this world there a whole bunch of them who have managed to crawl out of the fires， outsmart axe wielding murderers at camps and escape crazy ghost mask wearing boyfriends and SURVIVE。 However， this form of surviving is by attending a monthly support group with all the other final girls。Lynette， one of the final girls is barley hanging on， she goes to the support meetings， but her life consists over obsessing over how a killer might get her next and planning her escape plans。 When suddenly the group falls apart and it looks like someone is out to put an end FINALLY to the girls everyone is a suspect and Lynette does not know who to trust。This was such a clever book and I really enjoyed it。 I am a massive horror movie fan so really appreciated all the nods to the cult classics we all know and love but with a Hendrix spin on it。 The characters were all wonderful， not all likeable （like really not likeable！！！） but loved all the same as each final girl added something different。Much like with any Grady Hendrix book I have read it is written perfectly， some authors you just really gel with writing styles and this is one of them for me。Overall a wonderful read and one that I fully recommend！Thanks to NetGallery and the publishers at Titan Books for the advance copy of the book。Publication Date: 13 Jul 2021 。。。more

Have you ever wondered what happens to the Final Girl， the one who is left standing when the credits roll？ For more than a decade， 6 Final Girls have been meeting with their therapist in a support group。 When one of the Final Girls go missing - who has discovered their group and is out to pull apart their lives once again？Thank you to NetGalley UK and Titan Books for the ARC of this， it was my very first ARC and I was absolutely buzzing it was The Final Girl Support Group！ This one is out July 1 Have you ever wondered what happens to the Final Girl， the one who is left standing when the credits roll？ For more than a decade， 6 Final Girls have been meeting with their therapist in a support group。 When one of the Final Girls go missing - who has discovered their group and is out to pull apart their lives once again？Thank you to NetGalley UK and Titan Books for the ARC of this， it was my very first ARC and I was absolutely buzzing it was The Final Girl Support Group！ This one is out July 13th although it seems you can get your hands on copies from certain places now！The Final Girl is one of my favourite tropes in horror so when I saw that one of my favourite authors was releasing a book all about it， I was SO excited！ It’s such a brilliant idea。However， this ended up not being what I expected and was more of a mystery/thriller rather than a horror。 Which was a little disappointing for me as jump scares are imperative in slasher and their sub-genres however I wasn’t frightened at all reading this one。 I did like all the horror movie references （lots of obscure ones that make you feel really chuffed when you notice） and how can I not appreciate nods to my favourite film， Scream。 Fellow horror buffs will notice as-well that the characters are Hendrix’s own creations but are named after the actors who portrayed their movie counterparts。Overall， I would still recommend and would love to see a movie adaptation of this。 The final act for the Final Girl’s was one of my favourite parts and I can picture it so clearly。 3。5 stars！ 。。。more

I’m gonna be in the minority with this one and I’m totally fine with it。 I didn’t love this despite it being one of my most anticipated of the year。 I’m rounding up to 3 stars from 2。5 based solely on the little scripts and notes etc that were included。 The titles of the chapters were kinda cool too-they were all reminiscent of 80s/90s slasher films like Scream。 I loved Southern Book Club Guide to Slaying Vampires so I went into this with possibly too high of expectations and it didn’t even come I’m gonna be in the minority with this one and I’m totally fine with it。 I didn’t love this despite it being one of my most anticipated of the year。 I’m rounding up to 3 stars from 2。5 based solely on the little scripts and notes etc that were included。 The titles of the chapters were kinda cool too-they were all reminiscent of 80s/90s slasher films like Scream。 I loved Southern Book Club Guide to Slaying Vampires so I went into this with possibly too high of expectations and it didn’t even come close sadly。 If you’re a fan of camp， this is for you。 Lynette views herself as not a “real” Final Girl even though she has created her entire current existence based upon being one。 She lives in a barred apartment and takes 3 hours to get anywhere so she can make sure no one is following her and is on constant alert that someone is going to kill her。 The only people she interacts with are the other girls in the support group that her therapist created for her and all the other survivors of serial killers。 The group has been going for several years and none of them seem to be getting any better。 There is very little in the way of growing by any of the girls and the therapist seems completely unprofessional。 There’s a lot of violence and slashing and the camp sort of balances it out I guess， but it just didn’t work for me overall。 This was too “goofy” to take seriously as a horror story but not goofy enough to be not a thriller either。 Still not sure where to classify it。 I think it’ll probably make a cool Netflix movie though。 Thanks to Berkley Publishers and Netgalley for this Arc in exchange for my review。 。。。more

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix needs to be made into a movie！ It was full of action and suspense and I loved all the nods to horror in the 1980’s and 1990’s。 There are some really deep thoughts and ideas in the book too， which I found surprising。 You can not think too deeply and just enjoy the horror movie vibe or actually think about some of the things （like with Crazy Chrissy） and fall into a deep rabbit hole。 To me， that shows a lot of depth in a story。I also thought it was amu The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix needs to be made into a movie！ It was full of action and suspense and I loved all the nods to horror in the 1980’s and 1990’s。 There are some really deep thoughts and ideas in the book too， which I found surprising。 You can not think too deeply and just enjoy the horror movie vibe or actually think about some of the things （like with Crazy Chrissy） and fall into a deep rabbit hole。 To me， that shows a lot of depth in a story。I also thought it was amusing how each Final Girl’s tale of terror correlated with a different horror movie franchise like Scream， Friday the 13th， and Texas Chainsaw Massacre。 These were fun to see as a horror fan， and for those who don’t watch/read a lot of horror， then it’s a good introduction to these classics… and hopefully the horror world will gain some new fans。There was one little thing about knowing the killer very， very early on that almost had me give The Final Girl Support Group four stars instead of five。 But the twist made up for it， along with the final showdown。 And other readers， especially those not into horror， may not figure it out so early。The other thing that disappointed me （and this is not the author’s fault at all， so I wouldn’t have given a lower rating because of it） is that I could not read the murderabilia that were after each chapter on my very old Kindle Touch。 I imagine those with newer e-readers will be able to see it just fine。I’m looking forward to seeing what other kinds of horror that Hendrix comes up with next。 。。。more

As a fan of Grady Hendrix and the humorous horror-filled worlds he creates， I couldn't wait to read his latest， The Final Girl Support Group。 This book wasn't quite as funny as his others， more subtle-y so， but I think that lends to the fact that this work is an homage to pop culture slasher films。 Simply more deadly。 Like his books， Horrorstor and My Best Friend's Exorcism， The Final Girl Support Group is packed with pop culture insides that make the setting and characters like a trivia game fo As a fan of Grady Hendrix and the humorous horror-filled worlds he creates， I couldn't wait to read his latest， The Final Girl Support Group。 This book wasn't quite as funny as his others， more subtle-y so， but I think that lends to the fact that this work is an homage to pop culture slasher films。 Simply more deadly。 Like his books， Horrorstor and My Best Friend's Exorcism， The Final Girl Support Group is packed with pop culture insides that make the setting and characters like a trivia game for readers。 Fans of the horror genre will love how he references their favorite flicks。 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre becomes Panhandle Meathook。 Scream becomes Stab。 Even the author's acknowledgments read like a Simpson's credit reel of a scary movie。 If you're looking for some gory escapist reading， The Final Girl Support Group is a super quick read。 Each chapter break includes some bonus visual content as well - excerpts from reviews of the horror films made off the girls' darkest moments， transcripts of witness testimony， and more。 Even the chapter titles themselves play on slasher series franchise titles。 There are a lot of characters and film plot references so you may need to make a cheat sheet to keep all the names straight， but the personalities of the final girl support group are strong enough that they become more clear as you keep reading。 Despite references to so many classic horror films， the ending may still surprise you。 Hendrix fills the book with plenty of twists and delightful deceits。 Don't let that sway you that all the girls are safe though。 Blood will be shed！ Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

A most compelling tale about women who survive horrifying events and what happens to them once they stop being the latest story。 Whatever you’d expect from a slasher flick， such as characters who don’t die even after grievous hurt， prolonged confrontations， a lot of gore， and bodies， you’ll also find it in this book。 But what keeps you reading is how masterfully it’s told。 If this is the kind of writing the author delivers in every book of his， then they’ve just gained a new fan！
