August pick for Amy McCaw's YA Book Club 2023.
What a fantastic debut into horror. Once the insanity of the plot began and the real fear kicked in, I felt so sick in anticipation and discomfort.
I loved how fast paced this was but without feeling rushed or skimping on the detail at all - it was the perfect balance.
I enjoyed all the horror references and was looking forward for the potential of more Easter eggs for scenario's to come.
The whole plot being set at a horror camp simulation was so cool. It was the perfect backdrop and I loved how rich in its own history and legend it was. It felt so real.
We had a fantastic cast of characters and the pulled the story through with so much personality. I couldn't help but connect to all of the main players in some way.
The plot twist at the end was absolutely amazing! I was so shocked!
