Revenge of the Final Girl
Written by Andrea Mosqueda
Published by Feiwel & Friends
Liliana “Lili” Garza hasn’t had a single moment of peace since her best friends were murdered at a graduation. A year later, Lili is barely scraping by. Now that her own high school graduation is fast approaching, reminders of the massacre are all around her, with news stories commemorating the anniversary of the Gatzville graduate murders and a town that refuses to let her forget.
But when one of Lili’s classmates is found dead at a party exactly one year after that horrific night—killed by the same injuries that Lili herself had survived—Lili realizes that someone is trying to recreate the past—and this time, they might not let her escape. To stay alive—again—Lili must confront the ghosts of her past to find out who is coming for her, even if it means unearthing the painful memories she has buried deep down inside.
A tense thriller about the scars that trauma leaves—and the lengths we will go to survive, despite the odds stacked against us—this is a powerful YA novel that will stay with you long after the final page.
