Holy cow! What a ride this was. A perfect fast paced summer horror book! If you watched & liked “Fear street” on netflix, i highly recommend this book!

some of the characters were a little flat, but the development was good. the setting was really cool and the author is a really good writer who uses really descriptive language. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time and got a little scared! it was my favourite type of horror, the one where it builds up and you don't know what's coming until the end.

This book had a ton of promise, but it didn't quite get there. A Hunger Games vibe, but with people in their 20s (who often read like most YA characters unfortunately). I think it was too rushed in certain places, and it had a lot of characters to get to know at first. I also prefer books with endings that are more wrapped up. Still, with some work this could have been really good, and I think it'd make a good one season show.
