Thank you Penguin Teen for my review copy.
I'm a big fan of the 90's and Scream is my FAVORITE movie franchise so I jumped at the chance to check this book out. I was living for all the references as well. The plot started off strong, kinda of stalled in the middle, but went full speed ahead towards the end. I did figure out the killer early on, but the ending was wild. I was not expecting that at all and the author chose straight violence!!
If you’re looking for a good horror story for spooky season check this one out and then come to yell at me about that ending in my messages. I listened to the audiobook from PRH Audio and the narrator was very good and sounded like an actual teenager which can be hit or miss at times.

This was such an adventure! This isn’t my usual genre but I wanted to step outside the box and try something different. This book was dark and twisty in all the best ways!
Be careful what you wish for? I really enjoyed this book. 4.5 stars

If you've been looking for a book that is YA, that gives off the energy and feel of the "Scream" movies - this book is perfect for you. It has that old school slasher energy, that is creepy but not straight nightmare horror inducing scariness.
SYNOPSIS: Alice goes to a Halloween party with her sister, not knowing this will be the last night she sees her sister alive. Her sister goes in a scary corn maze, only to never make it out alive. And now, Alice is the only witness in the case. Now she is forced to testify in court, face the killer and all of those people who were in the corn maze that night... until she is hit over the head and wakes up on Halloween night one year prior, aka the night of the murder. Can she save her sister? Find out who the killer is?
4/5 Stars, highly enjoyed this one - especially to read during spooky season! It scratched that itch of a 90's thriller/slasher movie, in book form.
*Gifted by Penguin Teen / Razorbill and Netgalley - thank you! All opinions are my own.

Be careful of what you wish for because you’ll probably learn some things that you didn’t want to know about… Oh and I think everyone in this book is going to need some major therapy.
It was good but some parts were a bit weird and cringey and there were definitely some plot holes at the end. But dang that ending. Definitely one of the more captivating thrillers I have read and I need the author to personally write me an explanation/ending so I can feel at peace with what the heck just happened.
