I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. Originally I was going to give three stars, but when I thought about it, there wasn’t much I enjoyed in this book. The first person POV read like a YA novel, and the tropes all felt so cliché to the most basic thrillers and ghost stories. I was waiting the whole book for things to get really scary, but every tense moment fell so flat.

It feels like I’m the last one to read this! 😂 I finally grabbed it because I honestly couldn’t find anything else enticing. The blurb had put me off, perhaps because of a similar real life hoax. The book does go into the paranormal, a genre I tend to avoid, but it was more deftly done than expected.

I’m giving this 2.5 stars, still haven’t figured out if I round up or down on Goodreads for half stars. This book was ok. It’s basically a supernatural re-telling of the movie Sleepaway Camp with religion tossed in. Just watch the movie.
