YEAH! Killer clowns… who doesn’t want to see some of that? And that cover? GORGEOUS!
My first thoughts were WOAH… is this really YA? Yeah, it’s teen characters, but man is it a brutal novel. It’s basically Children of the Corn but in reverse. Absolute blood bath of a plot. Lots and lots gore. So if that’s not your thing, here is your warning… There are some extremely fun kill scenes.
The author absolutely nails the teen vibe. I love that there is LGBT+ in the story but it wasn’t shoe horned into a romantic angle. I had never read this author before, but I would love to check out more from him. This was a very fun adventure into a very freaky little town.
Narrator did a very nice job. I felt like they really pinned down a teenagers attitude through emoting with their voice. Also did a great job with gender and age.

I think this a perfectly reasonable introduction to horror. It follows the classic slasher troupes with some gore and heart, but as someone who enjoys horror quite frequently I found this to be a bit more juvenile than my liking with lots of tell, don't show.

Not a great book by any means but it reads like a crummy slasher movie and I really enjoyed it for that.

Really fun slasher
I’m a weenie and was too scared to turn the page more towards the beginning when the clowns showed up at Quinn’s? House and were messing with her dad lol
i really loved this book and this my favorite slasher book i have read because i havent had as good of luck with the other ones I have read. The kills in this were so good and the twist were as well. I loved the Missouri town setting and I think this book was very well executed. I will definitely read the sequel!
