Four found dead is a horrific tale of how anybody can snap. Throughout this read there will be several “wth”s you may scream out loud, but this story is definitely tense. Majority of this book takes place in one night with a slow building of tension and chaos to start. 

The emotions felt while reading this was the equivalent of being on a roller coaster. One I thoroughly enjoyed. The chapters are short despite the book being about 300 or so pages. And some of the dialogue was a little repetitive. 

Still, that didn’t take away from the core of the story. Reading this is a tense and dark ride. If you enjoy mass murderers in secluded locations then this is the story for you.

3.0

The premise of this book sounded really phenomenal and I think it had a lot of promise, but it just didn’t fully deliver for me. I didn’t mind that we were generally given the plot right off the bat (it’s literally in the title), but I would have liked to have seen more done with it. It was such a short jump from the movie theatre to them running, and then it just felt like 80% of the book was a group of teenagers running from room to room. There were some plot points surrounding them running thrown it at the end, but by then it was almost too little too late. I didn’t personally connect with any of the characters, but it was easy to root for them. I just wish there had been more of a story. Trigger warnings: shooting, violence, gun violence, death of a parent

The first red flag was the location set in Sandusky, Ohio and I should’ve just acknowledged it! Also jail to the character who saw child grooming and did nothing. Movie theatre/mall thriller is the coolest fucking concept and the execution was big fat raspberry noise! I am nothing if not an eternal optimist but another book by Natalie Richards bites the dust rip 🪦

A solid thriller-chase novel. While it didn't do anything especially groundbreaking, the story was fast-paced, the setting was well described, and the suspense was definitely there. Some of the sections reminded me a bit of Poesidon Adventure...facing challenges from the setting, made more difficult by various injuries. Plus the addition of a murderer certainly raises the stakes a bit.
