This was an interesting time travel twist on the final girl trope. If you like horror tropes and movies, it might be worth a read. However, the ending kind of fucked it for me, the sister was SO evil for kind of no reason? I felt like the end merited maybe a sequel or an epilogue, but it was not a very satisfying ending for you. I get that her dad was being a sleazeball, but to turn into a chainsaw murderer?? There were a lot of plot holes but this was still a dramatic romp that kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn't expect the ultimate reveal of the murderer on my first read through, but in hindsight I guess it is the only explanation. Meh, unfortunately.
