medium-paced

Such a fun concept that tips its hand early on purpose, letting the reader in on the “twist” and letting us enjoy the ride. Slashers in any format always slap.

“The Venue” is a gripping blend of horror, thriller, and drama that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Set against the backdrop of a secluded wedding, the story unfolds with rich people drama and a generous serving of gore that adds to its binge-worthy appeal. The atmospheric setting adds an extra layer of suspense, making it impossible to put down. If you’re looking for a thrilling read that offers something out of the ordinary, “The Venue” comes highly recommended.

It's a weird one. Think Squid Games meets Harper's Island with a slight love story mixed it. It doesn't take itself too seriously. There's some brilliant comedic moments which seem like they would be out of place yet add to the campiness of the book. Quick read and was a compelling one too.
