Recenzje

Praise for The Last Girls Standing:

Enthralling . . . A solid addition to the camp horror genre, boasting urgent mystery and queer romance alongside its psychological thriller foundation. Publishers Weekly

Haunting and compelling . . . A queer psychological thriller with teeth."  Kirkus Reviews

A thriller that grapples with the loneliness of trauma and the bonds that, for better or for worse, are forged there. The slow spiral to an unsettling, well-earned end will leave readers with much to think about. Booklist

Complex and realistic . . . Throughout the book, readers see the arc of how Sloan s relationships with family and friends change after the trauma, as well as her growth as she learns to live with her PTSD and anxiety . . . Hand this to fans of Holly Jackson s A Good Girl s Guide to Murder and Stephen King s IT. School Library Journal

Dugan ably balances Sloan s unprocessed trauma, her exhausted defiance, and her desire for unconditional love to make her a twisty and complex unreliable narrator. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

A feral Sapphic psych thriller slasher that digs into how well we can ever know the people we love. Paste Magazine

Shocking, captivating, and utterly chilling. A delicious thriller that will have you tearing through pages to get to the end, where you won t be disappointed. Jessica Goodman, bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us

Full of scares and suspense, The Last Girls Standing is a whipcrack summer slasher. Dugan s unforgettable characters are sure to break your heart. Rory Power, New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls

A worthy ode to final girls and camp slashers reminiscent of classics like Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp, Dugan has crafted a chilling tale with unexpected twists, breakneck turns, and an ending that will leave you stunned. Kalynn Bayron, New York Times bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead
