A fun book but not a great one. The end was too cheesy for my taste.

Not going to waste my time. This was a pointless read. It is not a horror/slasher/thriller. It is a teen drama that bleeds cheap nostalgia and family dynamics. It starts with a bang but fizzles out immediately. I kept looking at the page count wondering when the thrills were going to start. 80% in and I thought we were finally getting something. In the end that wasn't even the conflict. In short there really isn't much of a conflict and the ending was equally disappointing.

I personally would not recommend this one. The writing is nothing spectacular, the characters are flat, and the story is non-existent. Skip this one.

A thriller that was far too concerned with the inner lives of its characters to actually be thrilling. I deeply related to these characters, though, so I enjoyed learning about them and understanding how they feel. However, for a thriller, it was just a bit too focused on that and not on the...well...thrills.

Not bad, but had way too much padding.
