wow NEVER have i read a book that made me feel like i was in a slasher movie before this. granted i saw who the killer was a mile away but i was still enthralled with the story. this book was definitely campy which if you love movies like Scream, you’re in for a real treat

Alice was kinda the main problem on why I didn't really like this book. When I first read her introduction line I thought it was an awful way to introduce the main character but as the book goes on you see that its a reoccuring issue and it just showed that she doesn't really show sympathy or self-awarness until it affects her or hits her right in her face. Don't get me wrong, this would be a very interesting angle if it was ever written like it was supposed to be a flaw to her character but it wasn't. She didn't see the hypocrisy in turning on her friends for their podcast she had the idea for, just cause it was a case she was personally affected by. 
HOWEVER, I did like Claire and Final Girl, even after both of their plot twists.Also the ending was super interesting despite the things that didn't make sense.
Hope that all makes sense and stayed respectful to the author.

I had my doubts, the beginning was slow and until 41% I was sure it was going to be a 2 star but it did pick up and also just bc of the chapter tittles it was enough to gain a whole star, those alone had me kinda scared at times

the whole "I love horro movies" got tiring at times but all the parallels with scream helped me power through the cringe and the ending? omfg such a great ending. I still haven't had the opportunity to read the bonus chapter but as soon as I get it I will be back and add my opinion to the review 

I'm done, bye
