Find Him Where You Left Him Dead by Kristen Simmons
medium-paced
5.0
I think this might be my favourite YA book I've read.
It did start off a little slow and somewhat confusing, but once it got going, I ended up loving it. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of gore and grossness in the story with this being a YA book, but it wasn't over the top, and I think it worked really well. I'm usually able to guess a lot of twists or at least see the direction it might be going in, but with this book, I saw none of them coming.
This book is described as a "Japanese inspired Jumanji" and I totally see that.
You should read this book if you enjoy: Horror, supernatural, friends overcoming challenges, Japanese mythology, sinister games, multiple POVs, young adult, books under 300 pages.
Thanks to netgalley, Tor Publishing Group, and Kristen Simmons for sharing a digital copy for me to read and review, as always, opinions are my own π€π»ππ€π»
