You might think you're familiar with the "final girl" storyline, but this is a fresh take that goes into a lot more depth than just the superficial survivor guilt that often marks the main characters in other books with similar plots. The relationship between Cherry and Sloan is complicated, and although the suspense in the book centers around the unknown facts of what really happened at the camp, the complexities of the dynamic between them could stand alone as an entirely separate story. This is a book about what happened next, and it's a reminder that the survivors are more than just the event that left them with the "final" designation. They have personalities, baggage, and life experiences beyond just the one that captures everyone's interest. I loved the way that this book looks at the characters as whole people and explores their relationship all the while unraveling the question of what really happened.
