Big thanks to Netgalley and Saga Press for my e-arc. I'm a big fan of SGJ and his voice. This book is no exception. I found it to be really unique take on the slasher genre. It's genuinely messed - the graphic gory kills are not messing around. Despite that, it's also a very heartfelt read I really liked Tolly and Amber by the end. If you like SGJ, this is another hit. If you haven't read SGJ, I'm not sure what you'll think. He has a unique way of writing horror that you either love and can't get enough of or don't understand at all. I'm on the side of love, for sure, and feel honored I got to read this one in advance!
