The Final Scene

The beginning had my FULL attention it was fast-paced, tense, and super engaging. The middle didn’t drag, but it was just okay. I did want to keep reading/listening to see who if anyone would make it to the end. I wished the final scene was a little more satisfying. I’m still not sure why Grace did what she did, or why we were reliving her life in the first place. didn’t understand the romance scene it definitely wasn’t needed. The ending felt rushed and left me wanting to know more. Still a good thriller, with a great start. Just not as satisfying as I anticipated.

“Final Scene” doesn't waste a moment in setting up this intense, lean, mean, and refreshing thriller.

This was a WILD ride. Went into this book blind and truly had no idea how crazy the plot was going to be. Super unique story

This book was a 5 star read all the way up until the last couple of chapters which brought it to a 4. 

The good:
- A very creative premise that was unlike anything I have read. It was definitely a twist on your normal thriller. It did have a similar premise to two TV shows I've seen: An episode of American Horror Stories and a season of Search Party. None had been completely like this though. 
- I caught onto part of the twist but didn't catch in on the whole thing until it was revealed. 
- I really loved the story and was very invested in it. It kept me thinking about it even when I put the book down. 

The bad:
- The ending was exceptionally rushed compared to the story. I really wanted it to last a little longer and be a little more. 
- The “why” of it all is never revealed. It doesn't have to be but I wanted a bit more on Grace. 
- The bonus epilogue I found pointless, it didn't added much the story. 

I would highly recommend this though if you love a good horror/thriller and are tired of the same plot. This was eerie and different. The ending isn't perfect but it also does wrap up, which is important to me.
