This book, man. If you love cheesy slasher films and horror movies, this is the book for you. Very much an homage to horror films from someone who clearly adores the genre. Lots of little Easter eggs, and just a bonkers, campy ride.
The main character is annoying and vapid for a good part of the book, but it’s very much in line with the final girl trope. You know when you’re watching a movie and you’re thinking, none of this would happen if these people were even slightly intelligent? That’s this. But in a good way because it feels like reading one of those great silly horror movies.
I didn’t want to stop reading and as I got close to the end, I was sad there were only a few pages left. If you love Nightmare on Elm Street or Scream - or if you grew up loving Fear Street and Christopher Pike and Point Horror - you are going to absolutely love this book. It’s just so much fun and a great summer read (while being creepy enough and with enough social commentary to give it that edge).
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC. I already ordered a copy to share with others!!

Wonderfully twisty, creepy, and engaging, this fast-paced slasher film in book form will catch your interest from Chapter One and keep you hooked until The End.
