Has she already had her last chance to be the final girl?

A Goodreads Hot Summer Mysteries


All her life, she’s been the girl who survived. Orphaned at age seven after a horrific killing spree at her family’s Oregon cabin, Kara McIntyre is still searching for some kind of normal. But now, twenty years later, the past has come thundering back. Her brother, Jonas, who was convicted of the murders has unexpectedly been released from prison. The press is in a frenzy again. And suddenly, Kara is receiving cryptic messages from her big sister, Marlie—who hasn’t been seen or heard from since that deadly Christmas Eve when she hid little Kara in a closet with a haunting, life-saving command: Don’t make a sound.

As people close to her start to die horrible deaths, Kara, who is slowly and surely unraveling, believes she is the killer’s ultimate target.

Kara survived once. But will she survive again? How many times can she be the girl who survived?

    To unbelievable, to many coincidences, to unrealistic, and just to implausible. The dialogue was especially poorly written. There was a great deal of redundancy, especially about the massacre having happened twenty years before. And then there were many minor annoyances WTH the author’s obsession with the laughter in the halls of the police station, and the make of vehicles. No one cares about such things, so why repeat them? Not worth the money.
