Must Read Monday (on a Tuesday!)

In horror movies, the final girl is the one left standing when the credits roll. But what happens to her after?

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix asks that question, and the answer is as darkly funny, breathlessly paced, and unexpectedly moving as anything we’ve read this year.

Lynnette Tarkington has spent a decade in group therapy with five other women who survived the unthinkable. Then someone starts hunting them again. And Lynnette, the most paranoid, least trusted member of the group, might be the only one who can stop it.

A gleefully clever tribute to 1980s slasher cinema that works just as brilliantly if you’ve never seen a single horror film.

Voted Goodreads Choice Award Best Horror Novel of 2021, and praised by Stephen King himself.

Not one for the faint-hearted, but absolutely one for anyone who loves sharp, witty, genre-bending fiction.

Perfect for fans of: horror, dark comedy, Scream, Riley Sager, Paul Tremblay.

📖 Find it in our Horror section, if you dare 😈

A remote Scottish island.

A love story as sweeping as the Atlantic.

And a secret that will change everything.

The Lost Lover is the third book in Karen Swan’s breathtaking Wild Isle series, set against the dramatic real-life evacuation of St Kilda in 1930, the most remote inhabited island in the British Isles.

This time it’s Flora’s story: a young woman who dreams of more than the island’s hard life, falls for a visiting adventurer, and finds herself swept from the Hebrides to the glittering salons of Paris, with her heart broken somewhere in between.

Karen Swan writes with a gift for place and a deep understanding of the women history tends to overlook.

If you haven’t discovered this series yet, start with The Last Summer, you’ll be reaching for The Lost Lover by the end of the week.

Perfect for fans of: sweeping historical romance, Outlander, Mojo, Moyes, Scottish settings, the Hebrides.
