Loved the main character

Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Incest
Minor: Pedophilia
Lots of TWs listed above, so not suited for every reader, but perfect for grittier horror fans who can stand lots of blood/gore and heavy themeszorawitchin's review against another edition

I was highly entertained - the plot and the story were very interesting. Our FMC/narrator Jade was… so wild, an unreliable narrator for the books. I wasn’t sure if anything she was saying was real or a figment of her wild imagination/bloody daydreams.
I think finding out why Jade is the way she is gave me a lot of empathy for her and helped me to understand why she lives breathes and only talks about slashers. I also loved Hardy, Mr. Holmes, and Letha as side characters! What ever happened to Shooting Glasses though? I thought he might end up playing more of a role in the ending but he really didn’t.
Besides the gore (which was extensive and descriptive), I ended up feeling like the motives behind the violence got lost and there was just a lot of chaos going on so by the end I wasn’t even sure who killed who 🙈 also, the chapters were wayyyy too long for me!
Rep: FMC is Native American Indian, side FMC black. Most other characters are white besides the FMCs family’s.
