Overall, I enjoyed this slasher for a quick, fun (but gory) read. The characters of Violet, Blythe, and James were the most fleshed-out, but I found myself forgetting details about the others and caring less than I wanted to when they were violently murdered. I also predicted the killer very early on in the book. I am notoriously terrible at predicting twists and reveals, so this was kind of a red flag to me. If I can predict it, anyone can.
Graphic: Murder, Suicide, Blood, Gore, Violence, Injury/Injury detail, and Drug use
Moderate: Alcohol, Panic attacks/disorders, Body shaming, Mental illness, and Toxic friendship
Minor: Vomit, Adult/minor relationship, and Stalking
