I have never read a horror novel that so perfectly captured the essence of horror movies. A love letter to the slasher genre, an evisceration of the slasher genre. It hits all the tropes just right but remixes them in the best ways. It was not at all what I thought it would be but it was so well written that I was ready for anywhere it took me. Charity’s voice is the perfect blend of sardonic and earnest. Character arcs don’t typically get a lot of focus in the horror genre, but I didn’t mind so much here because bare minimum most of the characters were fleshed out enough to at least make me mourn them when they met their ends.

If you’re looking for a classic slasher with the meta commentary of Scream, but with a more queer gen z vibe - this is the book for you. 

It’s scary and tense without being too gore heavy. But I have to say for folks who know a lot about horror movies these characters sure do the exact thing they know not to do! I didn’t see the end coming, which is fun but did leave me with a bunch of questions unanswered. All in all a fun teen scream read.

So good, I cared so much about all of the characters and what happened to them. The twists were so good, and writing made it so suspenseful. I could not stop reading it and now I want more. The ending was incredible, better than I could have imagined when I started reading it.

I’m not really familiar with the slasher sub-genre but damn that was good! I really enjoyed the whole concept of the terror simulation. At first I was just expecting a random killer appearing from nowhere but I loved how the story eventually unfolded! 
The last pages really had me on the edge of my seat.

So many plot twists I couldn’t process 😱😱
