This book was everything I’ve been needing. The perfect summer slasher that brought up so many fond memories of experiencing my first scary movies. Plus the ending?! LOVED.

If you are looking for a movie similar to this plot, Knives out: The Glass Onion feels so similar to it. I kept thinking about it the entire time I read the book
