This was a pretty basic creature feature slasher and it was fine. I found myself dozing off often becuse it got pretty repetitive and I really did not give a shit about these characters and their stupid drama.

I did like a little addition of bonus scenes at the beginning of certain chapters where random new characters were getting killed by these creatures, it was a fun and original festure, even though it didn't really serve any purpose.

The entire book actually had no purpose, which is fine, not every book has to, but nothing really gripped me and I think I'd enjoy this much more if it were a movie.

A bit slow to start for the main characters, and relationship heavy, but picked up in the 2nd half of the book
