Lots of emotional/tonal whiplash? If I wasn’t stuck in a car driving 14 hours it would have never been finished.

an angel? REALLY?

I liked this as much as I like slasher films… not much. Shallow “valley girls” + gore + plot holes + shitty ending = this book.

found most of the characters in this book unlikable. 

The plot of the story had some great twist to it definitely kept you guessing I had a few people I suspected at the beginning and then my suspects changed midway through but never would I have guessed the ending. 

There are lots of horror movie references  and as in most horror movies you tend to hate the main character making stupid mistakes however the fact that the main character Alice was obsessed with horror movies and knew the mistakes that everyone always made and still did them but justified them to herself was very annoying. 

Also did I mention the ending? I have so many questions!

This is book is Scream meets Happy Death Day. If you like any 80’s or 90’s slasher than this book is going to be for you. After her sister dies, Alice is granted a wish to go back and redo that night. However, it’s not as simple as she previously thought.
