I know it’s from a teenage girl’s perspective but I just had a hard time getting into this one.

3.5 rounded up. Loved the horror movie references, but something kept me from loving this book. I don’t think I’m a of SGJ’s style of writing, which may be it, but this is only my second book of his. This was a step up too.

Story was slow for a slasher but entertaining all the way through. While not a ton is always happening it’s still engaging.
