HIS FINAL GIRL is the first book in Brooklyn Ann's B Mine series. This story has a very "New Adult" vibe but without a lot of the angst associated with that romance subgenre. The conflict in this story comes from the mythic unknown villain who terrorizes a group of teens and instructors at a summer camp. Set in Idaho during the year 1978, HIS FINAL GIRL pays homage to a lot of "B movie" horror films, characters, and fan favorite actors in the genre. This is particularly entertaining for fans of the "Friday the 13th" films. What sets this story apart are the two main characters – 18-year-old Linnea Langenkamp and 19-year-old Wes Carpenter. As with her other books, Brooklyn Ann's strength as a storyteller is in creating characters who you care about and root for.

Wes and Linnea really don't want to go to camp, but their parents are making them. Fortunately for Linnea she'll be going with a few of her close friends, and Wes ends up making a few new ones. There are the expected cheesy high school stereotypical characters littering the landscape, but the budding romance between Wes and Linnea, along with the friendships they form with others, shine out. Brooklyn Ann does a good job of foreshadowing and letting the element of danger sneak up on the reader. The majority of the first half of the book establishes who the players in the story are, the overall mood, and the developing romance. Linnea and Wes each bring their special skills for surviving a murdering madman. Linnea is an outdoorswoman who can handle being on the run in the woods, and Wes is a tech geek who helps with rescue efforts. Brooklyn Ann writes some of the best "nice guy" heroes and Wes is a great example. This couple appreciates each other's strengths and their romance is sweet without being sickeningly so.

HIS FINAL GIRL is a sweet romance with authentic characters, and a little blood and gore thrown in. This hero and heroine work together to defeat evil and save the day. I look forward to reading Brooklyn Ann's next B Mine tale of spooky shenanigans and romance.

Book Summary

DON’T GO IN THE WOODS

With Wes’s ingenuity and Linnea’s knowledge of the forest, together they may be able to stop the killer, save the camp, and maybe even find their happily ever after on the way.
