This is the first horror book I’ve finished, so take my review with a grain of salt. If I were comparing this to a horror movie (which I’ve seen much more of), I would give it a three star rating. It’s your run of the mill slasher experience. But I was at least able to get through it.

I was only able to get through it, because I thought the twist in the end was that it wasn’t real. But realizing that it was real in the end made it way more scary.

I did like reading a horror book from a black person’s perspective, although Charity still made some questionable choices. The characters were funny

and the deaths were gruesome

. I would definitely watch this if it were adapted into a movie. Im not likely to read more horror books after this, but I will read more of the authors other work that are not horror.
