The actual story in the book is fun. It starts off with a clown attack, but the majority of the book is a group of clowns quite literally being hunted. Unfortunately, i did notice many grammatical errors in this book (mostly the use of "you're" in place of "your")

That being said, some of the most brutal and horrifying things I've ever read were in this book. The scene with the wishbone, or the man tried to the tree, both make me sick deep in my stomach. Obviously i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror and has little to no triggers.

I am so glad I gave Judith Sonnet another chance. I heard too many great things about her, and I chose this book because I love scary clowns, horror, and intense slashing. This had it all. There were parts that had me cringing and feeling nauseous. Do yourself a favor and check those trigger warnings because Ms. Judith didn’t come to play with this one; she came to slay!
