Liked the story and the characters, but it was just. Too much at times.
Also,
Interesting to see the bones it shares with MHIACS.

That said, when I was into it, I was really into it. There's some reall cools sequences and the style is very evocative. There are definitely things I didn't like - the oversexualization of the girls, dropped plot points, confusing action sequences - but I got the feeling those things were intentional nods to the slasher genre. I also felt it was mostly predictable, but I think don't think that's necessarily a negative.

The deaths were a little contrived, and the lack of environmental description left me confused during action scenes, but I usually got there in the end. The characters felt 3D.

Murder, violence, injury, gore: The book is quite violent, as it mimics slasher movies. Fire:henrygravesprince's review against another edition
