I loved the other FINAL DESTINATION book I had read years back, DEAD MAN'S HAND. With BLOODLINES coming out, I decided to visit some of the other novels for the first time. After hearing a lot of buzz about this particular installment, starting here seemed like a good choice. And wow, I was not expecting to be this engaged.

END OF THE LINE was on another level entirely from what we saw before—memorable and engaging characters, an NYC-set storyline, bonkers twists and turns, and of course incredibly creative and engaging deaths. It was also quite sexually charged, a feature that was an added plus as it organically ties into the story and its ensemble.

The chainsaw-scaffolding and hornet/chain/umbrella craziness felt very inspired. However, it was the incredibly clever twist that really sold it for me. I never saw it coming at all, and it kind of fits perfectly. END OF THE LINE really understands what works about FINAL DESTINATION, giving us chain reactions and gory deaths in equal measure. Chilling, fun, and disturbing. Highly recommended for any fan of the series.

A quick and easy read that plays out so much better in one sitting than in tiny bursts over several months.

I'm not a big comic book reader but the gorgeous artwork and creativity immediately caught me. Loved the extra added touch of quotes about death that came all throughout the five issues.

Carly makes for a solid protagonist, but I do wish her two love interests didn't look so nearly identical. Also though there are signs, there didn't seem to be any way to intervene or skip anything with death's design. Great setting and some solid kills! The addition of a creepy old lady freaked me out.

Long live FINAL DESTINATION, one of my favorite horror franchises.

Never fails to cheer me up.

The message of positivity we all need.

Really fun follow up to Chocolate Factory. I wish Dahl wrote more of these! The Knids were horrifying.

Really surprised by how effective and excellent Suzanne Collins continues to be with her Hunger Games series. Every book feels essential, and with SUNRISE ON THE REAPING, a majority of the major ideas come to a beautiful full circle. The characters are rich and likable, and even if we know what's to come for Haymitch, it still manages to maintain a propulsive momentum.

So excited to see how this plays out as a movie. Long live Haymitch.
