(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) 

The set up for Dead Girls Walking is an instant hook. It's bloody, not afraid to pull its punches, and is full of action. While there were a few moments, especially towards the end, where I wasn't sure where the book was taking me, I enjoyed this high action horror. I'm not even a horror girlie! There's a healthy dash of supernatural and this is more for the horror vibes. It's not going to be one of those whodunnit boards with red string and theorems. It's for the "I'm too busy running to dwell too long on who's behind me".

I loved this book! It was creepy and spooky and had really interesting and mysterious lore and was compelling from start to finish. Very cinematic, beautifully haunting descriptions, dark as hell, and gay. What more could I want from a book!

This is the summer slasher you need. Set at a weekend camp for queer girls who love horror, the daughter of a local serial killer is looking for evidence of her lost (dead??) mother's body in her old stomping grounds. What started as a safe space to celebrate scares turns into a supernatural massacre where few make it through to tell the tale. Mr. Peele, we've got your next movie right here.

P.S. I hated summer camp and this solidifies my hatred wholeheartedly.
