I absolutely loved this book! The ending took me completely by surprise and I was so into it! This is the first horror book that's actually scared me, and it's set the bar high!! 

Also, there's a Sapphic relationship and a queer guy

I feel like the magic being introduced in the last third wasn't executed well

This was a great take on the slasher genre. Really enjoyed the Easter eggs and premise. Could have spent more time at the top of the book but the focus was on the action which tbh made sense

OH! MY! FINAL! GIRL!

Kalynn Bayron comes right out of the creepy basement door swinging. This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I couldn't put it down, but my heart was racing the whole time like I was the one being chased by a murderer!

You can kind of anticipate what's going to happen throughout most of the book... that is, until the last few chapters and then everything you THOUGHT you knew gets thrown into Mirror Lake. 

And the prologue!! I mean, I was kind of hoping for that ending and Ms Bayron did not disappoint!! 🖤
