its so funny to write an incredibly by-the-books slasher where the characters have actual interiority. genuinely it rocks. really enjoyed the red herrings of making daphne seem like one iconic slasher villain, then pulling back a layer to reveal she's more similar to another. handful of these fakeouts throughout the book

This story was definitely giving off some serious "A Nightmare on Elm Street" vibes almost to the point where I thought "Does the estate of Wes Craven have grounds to sue?"
But I digress...
This story about a myth that comes to life to stalk the all-girls high school basketball team has way too much basketball in it especially for someone who doesn't like basketball.
It also felt weird every time the girls refer to their fellow teammates as "ballers"...that happened a lot too.
So in short, some scary moments, some clunky writing and a storyline that didn't fully make sense.
Unpopular opinion, I know.
