Reading this till the end, I can say, that i was 100% right on this one. I dont know if it was worth my time, really. But i like the mc - Jade. Never read a book about such human.

The narrator did a brilliant job of giving voice to this 17 year old (and the rest of the story, but Jade is the one that matters, and she knocked it out of the park, there).

I truly loves Stephen Graham Jones writing. This book was meant and for fellow slasher lovers. If you are not into slashers and never seen a slasher this book may or may not be difficult for you to understand. However I do like Jade's "Slasher 101," parts in the book was really helpful to readers who never read slashers.
If you would like a deeper review from me check out my reading vlog of My Heart is a Chainsaw.
