That was a wild ride of Maeve's decent into madness as her world crumbles around her. It's compelling and disturbing at the same time, and definitely not for the faint of heart or squimish. This book mixes old Hollywood glamor with classic horror flick to make the Frankensteins monster of a book. While the prose may be off-putting to some as it's a bit long winded and Maeve has a superiority complex, it makes the book seem so much more surreal.

This, surprisingly, was not for me & I’m sad about it lol. I’ll break my review down by what I liked & didn’t because there were a few things I enjoyed & I don’t want this review to only be a rant!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What I liked:⁣⁣
👍 the juxtaposition between Maeve genuinely loving being a theme park princess & Maeve being a torturer/serial killer⁣⁣
👍 the halloween setting (including the fun morbid diy decor *wink*), the parties, Grandma Tallulah ⁣⁣
👍 the kills⁣⁣
👍 the many music & film references⁣⁣
👍 Andre’s mickey ears (iykyk)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What I didn’t like:⁣⁣
👎 this wasn’t splatterpunk/horror enough for me; I wanted more Hollywood men to get their comeuppance, and I wasn’t really shocked by the more gruesome scenes (the 🥚 tho, um…)
👎 now tell me ~w h y~ it took a MAN for Maeve to embrace her “dark side?” ⁣⁣
👎 I’ve never read a dark or hockey romance, but I got heavy dark romance/hockey romance vibes that I was not expecting at all...& there was more description of those types of scenes than the crimes & the cleanup, although this is marketed as horror...⁣⁣
👎 a supposed feminist SA-ing women (kinda goes against a lot of what she says, especially about men)⁣⁣
👎 repetitive & cliche wolf metaphors⁣⁣
👎 people not using their words/people not listening for even two seconds⁣⁣
👎 the ending, which connects to my above point omg (but I also see why it had to be that way 😂)⁣⁣

to think i put off reading this so many times, and wasn’t going to read it at all. thank you universe for having me read this because my GOD was this stellar.

i cannot describe just how much of a good time i had with this.

the ambiguous references to disney????? SOLD. especially in that final scene with liz, i literally burst out laughing oh my god
the bus scene too??? holy shit??!?
the gore in this book in general!!!! oh my god was it spectacular. i think this is my favourite book in terms of how the gore was written because my god. it teeters the line between unrealistic and entertaining so well
maeve herself. insane. witty. somehow relatable. i love her.
gideon too. he is amazing, i love him, i want to be him, i want to be maeve with him. Yeah.
there was no plot to this book and i didn’t care. maeve captured my attention so well i didn’t care at one point i was just following her life.
the writing. is so. good. oh my god.
the ending????? i started crying. i started crying at the ending because i loved this book so much holy shit

if you love horror, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD READ THIS. i don’t even think i have the words to describe why i adored this so much oh my GODDDDDDDD.

anyways, ill never be able to watch frozen with my niece again.

Wow, what a wild ride. Predicted the ending, but it still had its fun twists and turns.

It has more debauchery than spice. You have been warned.

It is very graphic and not for the faint of heart or young readers!

Could recommend to horror fans and my fellow weird lit girls.
