Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley for the ARC.
Picture this, you just got out of school for the weekend. You’re on your way to Blockbuster (rip) to pick up a slasher movie and some candy, and you’re having a sleeping over with your friends. This is what the book exudes.
This is just straight camp. You know it’s not an A+ thriller or slasher, but it’s fun. That’s the whole point. You’re not rooting for any of these characters, and it’s fun to see how they get murdered in a way relevant to them.
Reading the author’s note, you can see the care and respect he pays towards the genre. He wanted it to be fun, have those twists, and make you feel like you’re watching a vhs horror tape. Let me tell you that’s exactly what you are going to get. Go in with low expectations and have fun.
