Rachel and her mum move house and school following a home invasion which resulted in Rachel killing one of the people. Rachel, encouraged by her mum to make friends, joins the Mary Shelley club- a group of horror fans who create scares for their peers.

Rachel is a likeable character who is clearly desperate to fit in but doesn’t, leaving the reader sympathetic to her situation. If I was a 14 year old into horror films then I probably would love this book. However for me, I felt like the author was trying too hard to appeal to teenagers and that just made it a difficult read.

Thank you to NetGalley, @egmontbooksuk, @EMteenFiction and of course Goldy Moldavsky for this ARC.
