Bunnies meets The Wicker Man

The audiobook is excellent. There are background sounds, musical touches, and voice effects. Absolutely a must listen on audio!

Not a bad YA read at all! And especially for this authors first novel. I liked the weird spin on the summer camp horror trope, but I was so confused most of the way through at where exactly this was going. It took me out of it a bit, but not enough to not enjoy it.

This surprised me. I’m not sure why i had low expectations for this except that maybe because I’ve had not great luck with YA books lately. But this BLEW ME AWAY. So unique and so mysterious. I didn’t predict everything and it was such a wild ride. I loved the representation and the humor through that representation without being preachy - it was very accessible. Definitely recommend to everyone!

This book was a fever dream. Idk if the author was drinking honey while writing this (creepy cult honey) but it had really no plot. Truly was all vibes. At least it was a quick read. Nothing felt fleshed out, it was all very surface level. If you think that this review sounds disjointed, you will probably be getting close to how I felt about this book.

"I'm not hurting people," Mimi pouts.
"I'm hurting boys."
Bria, to her credit, throws me a sideways glance and asks, "What are your pronouns again?"
"Uh..." My throat still feels raw from being choked within an inch of my life. "I'm cool with really anything. I'm fluid."

This part absolutely cracked me up. I really enjoyed this a lot more than i thought I would! As a nonbinary person it was so nice to read something from the point of view of another genderqueer person! Would’ve loved a bit more horror in it but I really loved the book as a whole. The ending has devastated me though,
Mars already lost their whole family and they couldn't just have a happier ending with Wyatt at the end? 😭
