ALL THE WRONG PAGES is part of the multi-author series that doesn't have to be read in order, but you may stumble upon a previous couple.

In this one, we have Logan and Cooper. Logan has had a crush on Cooper for years (read decade!) and everyone in town knows about it... except Cooper. He's too busy trying to run a shop that isn't doing too well, plus shoulders all the responsibilities he feels he has to as the eldest. Logan has been playing tricks on Coop for years, which infuriates Cooper. It doesn't stop Cooper from being attracted to Logan though, but he'll never make a move because he doesn't think it's reciprocated. When he finds out it is, nothing holds him back!

Oh, man! I did love this one. Cooper was hot as hell, with a wide streak of possessiveness and domination, which made it a delight to read. He was the perfect foil for Logan, a bit of a brat if ever there was one, but who also had a heart of gold and wanted to help everyone. Once these two go for it, location no longer makes any difference! These two work together to make it work between them, and also help with other problems too. I loved that!

I've read others in this series and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. This one, however, is currently in the number-one spot for me. Two brilliant characters plus one great location equals a book I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Just Okay
Final Girls by Riley Sager came highly recommended to. I was looking for a good horror book to read. While Final Girls wasn't a great read, it wasn't bad. Final Girls was just an okay read and nothing more.

The pacing is okay in Final Girls. It's not fast paced, but it's not slow either. I didn't hurry to finish this book at all. Every now and then the pacing would get better, but most times it was just okay.

The plot was alright. It's like every other slasher survival type books. Final Girls did have a few plot twists. Most were pretty predictable such as the one with Sam. I just felt like I had read and seen this plot line so many times before. Nothing really stood out with the plot of Final Girls.

The world building was done well. It was easy for me to be transported to the world of Final Girls. Even the attacks on the girls seemed realistic.

I liked the characters enough and felt that they were fairly well written. I did feel that Quincy was a little too gullible and trusting. There were times I had to shake my head at her. For example, I felt like she was too trusting of Samantha. It's like she just took her at her word all the time. Saying all that, I did love Quincy though. She did have a fighting spirit about her, and I loved her determination. Sam annoyed me. She was written well, but she annoyed me with how she said "babe" almost all the time. She was always so shady, and I never trusted her. Even though Jeff and Coop weren't major characters, I still liked them a lot. They just seemed like really nice guys.

There are some themes in this book such as violence, smoking, prescription drug abuse, alcohol, sex, and swearing. Nothing is too over the top, and it fits in with the book perfectly.

All in all, I feel as if Final Girls by Riley Sager is a forgettable book. Nothing really stands out plot wise or character wise. It's just an okay read, but it's been done before.
