The little easter eggs were lazy. I get this is supposed to pay respects to the slasher greats but there is a way to do that in a less overt lemme change some small things and put it in my book.
Also the way this man writes women is just misogynistic full stop. Lynn is fleshed out…I guess…. but the other girls are not and the one and only black woman was killed off screen. Also said black woman didn’t try to make sure the main girl in her franchise was black too? Like be fricken for real!
I think I’m so mad because the idea is awesome! I would love to read a book about deconstructing societies obsession with women’s suffering. This is just not the book and not the author to do it.
Also its so weird to say that an 8 year old boy is going to grow up to be predatory towards women. Thats legit so fucking gross bro.
0 stars.

I'm a chicken when it comes to scary books, and this was perfect for me. It's not very scary, and it has a fast-paced plot which doesn't allow for carefully built-up jump scares.
The main character was both insufferable and very easy to empathize with. I understood her ways and her reasons, but from time to time she was as interesting as a wet sponge and as likable as one of the "Monsters".
The plot was interesting, I quite liked that final e-mail, it juxtaposed two different times and "trends" in crime. The past is not told through a dual timeline but the reader is told about them, and it's supported by different reports, news articles, movie reviews, etc. and I really.
Slasher movies are the only horror movies I'm brave enough to watch so this premise really intrigued me, and parts of it were very well executed.
I managed to guess certain aspects of the ending, and my edition has some grammar and spelling mistakes. I don't think it's intentional because they are not constant enough though. There have also been certain problems with continuity, like a character leaves something behind but has it again three pages later. miscommunication is one of the tropes I can't stand, and unfortunately, it was abused here.

Hendrix did a masterful job of creating an unreliable narrator (or is she?), and weaving in a lot of excellent horror movie Easter eggs. It did occasionally veer into the gory, but it's a book about final girls, so you have to kind of expect that. I really enjoyed it.
