Fiction isn’t normally my thing but I picked this up for a quick read and it was ok. Definitely an interesting story with one or two plot twists.

A quick fun read. There’s not much too it and it can be finished in a couple days but it’s fun.

Good story, quick read, very much open to being a series. It’s super gory and violent though.

I was so excited to read this one. The cover is so well done and I was hooked by the spooky vibe of the synopsis and the cover. But it took me a minute to get the vibe of the story down. I went in being too serious - think of a gory but silly horror movie. THAT is the vibe. Once I reset it, I loved it.

This is a fast read, hopping from one POV to the next, seamlessly giving us the details happening around the campus as secrets are revealed and bodies start piling up. I had so many guesses on who it was but ultimately, did guess at least part but wasn't disappointed at all.

The best part was how the story was left open for more. I would absolutely love another book or 2 or 3 of this one.

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

Really enjoyed the ride. Could have finished in a day if I didn't have to do important stuff but was a rela page Turner and had some turns I did not see coming. Very great for a murder mystery slasher if you wanta call it that.
