There were a couple of fun creepy moments around the halfway mark, but otherwise this was just bad. The escape room camp theme is abandoned after only one round and seems to only exist to make sure there are no kids at the summer camp. The characters are really bland - I kept forgetting Paige even existed until other people brought her up - and the 'plot twist' was goofy and borderline offensive.
Unfortunately the biggest sin to me in a slasher, aside from maybe the first two the kills were boring. A good slasher should be about over the top people being killed in over the top ways and this was just like "oh he's dead I guess".

Thank you to Netgalley for the review copy! This book scared me so much I could only read it during the day when someone else was home. This will be a great recommendation for my horror loving students.shereadytoread's review against another edition

A sapphic slasher that packs a punch in a (relatively) short novel. This book kicks off from the start and has that great dread build of a slasher. As the reveals start to happen you're left trying to figure out who will survive. I was not a fan of all the twists, but I think overall the story came together well. It was fast-paced and action packed once things get going.

This author's works "Cinderella is Dead" and "This Poison Heart" got me back into reading last year after a decade of burnout. I don't normally read horror/thriller but when I saw this I had to give it a shot.
My Waterstones exclusive copy arrived in the mail this afternoon. I just finished it at 1am. Genuinely couldn't put it down even though I have so many books on the go already.
Probably not gonna sleep tonight because I'm a scaredy-cat, but absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend it to any fans of the slasher genre, as well as anyone else who's tired of the dumbasses that make all the wrong decisions in horror films.
