Synopsis
Para sobrevivir a un asesino necesitas instinto asesino «El primer gran thriller del año. Si te gustó Perdida, te gustará Las supervivientes.» Stephen King Quincy Carpenter, una estudiante universitaria, fue la única superviviente de la masacre que tuvo lugar en Pine Cottage, donde pasaba el fin de semana con cinco amigos. De inmediato, pasó a formar parte de un club al que nadie desea pertenecer: el que la prensa ha bautizado como «Las Últimas Chicas». Ellas son Lisa, que perdió a nueve compañeras de su hermandad; Sam, que se enfrentó a su atacante en el motel en el que trabajaba, y Quincy, que huyó a través de los bosques para escapar de aquel a quien solo puede referirse como «Él». Diez años después, Quincy disfruta de cierta normalidad. Tiene un novio que la cuida, un blog de cocina, un bonito apartamento y, además, cuenta con la presencia terapéutica de Coop, el policía que le salvó la vida. Su memoria no le permite recordar los acontecimientos de aquella noche, y la medicación le ayuda a preservar ese equilibrio. Pero cuando Lisa aparece muerta en extrañas circunstancias, Quincy debe afrontar el pasado, porque la historia puede volver a comenzar.
“The first great thriller of 2017 is here: Final Girls, by Riley Sager. If you liked Gone Girl, you’ll like this.”—Stephen King Ten years ago, college student Quincy Carpenter went on vacation with five friends and came back alone, the only survivor of a horror movie–scale massacre. In an instant, she became a member of a club no one wants to belong to—a group of similar survivors known in the press as the Final Girls. Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout’s knife; Sam, who went up against the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape Pine Cottage and the man she refers to only as Him. The three girls are all attempting to put their nightmares behind them and, with that, one another. Despite the media’s attempts, they never meet. Now, Quincy is doing well—maybe even great, thanks to her Xanax prescription. She has a caring almost-fiancé, Jeff; a popular baking blog; a beautiful apartment; and a therapeutic presence in Coop, the police officer who saved her life all those years ago. Her memory won’t even allow her to recall the events of that night; the past is in the past. That is until Lisa, the first Final Girl, is found dead in her bathtub, wrists slit; and Sam, the second, appears on Quincy’s doorstep. Blowing through Quincy’s life like a whirlwind, Sam seems intent on making Quincy relive the past, with increasingly dire consequences, all of which makes Quincy question why Sam is really seeking her out. And when new details about Lisa’s death come to light, Quincy’s life becomes a race against time as she tries to unravel Sam’s truths from her lies, evade the police and hungry reporters, and, most crucially, remember what really happened at Pine Cottage, before what was started ten years ago is finished.
