This book was a TWISTER. I usually have a general idea as to who the bad guys is but every time I had a shred of confidence in my guess, it was ripped away and torn to pieces and I was left going 'what the F is going on?!'. I loved the horror movie references, it was a super fun read!

A fun little thriller full of enjoyable horror movie references. It had a slightly disappointing ending but all in all, a solid thriller.

I haven’t blown through this book so quickly in a long time. Keeps you intrigued the whole way.

Overall, this was a fast-paced, fun read, but it wasn’t quite what I wanted it to be.
This featured plenty of interesting characters and a fair amount of action. We also switch between the present day and the late 90s; I think the dual timeline worked for this novel.
While this was an homage of sorts to horror movies, it never quite achieved the eeriness and tension you might expect it to. I never quite connected with feeling the suspense, but I still had fun reading!
Also, I kind of wish more people had died throughout the book, that way it evoked a more slasher movie feel. But that may be something to talk to my therapist about rather than a valid criticism of this book

This was just kind of a meh read for me. I think the plot description made me think it was going to be more of an ode to 90s slashers and be a bit more intense, but it was more of a slow and mysterious vibe with minimal character growth and some twists that I saw coming. I enjoyed hearing about how Lexi came to get the part in the movie and about her experiences on set more than the present timeline.
