I loved this book. It’s my first dip into horror books and it was so good. The way emotions and love were portrayed was so fun to read. This book has a fun sub genre of horror called “rules horror” where the scary part of what you’re reading is the rules that come with what the characters are doing. They play and game, break the rules, and learn how to fix it. The whole book was such a roller coaster and the main character was so strong while dealing with everything like a bad ass. If you happen to come across this book, pick it up. The only off putting part of this book is there’s so intense gore. But that was all apart of the fun

With such a pretty cover, I knew I have to read it. Even tho it wasn’t really a page turner though. I still felt adequately satisfied after reading this . The characters were all very complex and interesting and I definitely check it out if it sounds interesting to you!!

I knew the game/challenge trope wasn't going to be for me, but I laughed out loud a few times, the audiobook was good, and some parts were definitely spooky!

I liked this enough to finish it but I’m still left scratching my head. It felt like it was trying to be more than what it was.
