Excellent horror! A few scenes made my jaw drop. The diary entries included were especially disturbing. Kiersten White knows exactly what she's doing.

I absolutely consumed this book. It took me roughly twelve hours to read it, and I did that in the span of two days. This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite books.

The vibes were it
It kept changing which character we were following so it took a while to get used to it.

I enjoyed it. I am not gonna lie was it consistent? no. But i kept turning the page to see what would happen next i also loved the old abandoned amusement park.

first book i’ve finished in one sitting in years, meant to only read one chapter before bed and got completely hooked. was enjoyable and tense and didn’t give too much away too soon. only thing was some character interactions could have had a lot more emotion behind them especially with the situations they’re in. overall amazing :)

I loved the contestants, and I loved how they all had their own silent desperation. It connected them in a very elegant way.

I will say that it can be a bit daunting with so many to keep track of, but most only shine for a chapter and it really only focuses on only 4-5 of them.

This is a SLOW horror, mostly physiological as you and the contestants see these bad signs and fumble trying to figure out what is real and how they should react. They also try and justify their situation because they don’t want to admit they could be in a danger, which was an interesting narrative I totally understood and thought was sorta fresh.

The bad guys have an interesting backstory, along with the situation, and it went in a way I was not expecting but was still pleasant.

Less people killing for sport and more occult sacrifice

WARNING! This book does have an open-ish ending. I was okay with it, but you might find it a bit abrupt.
