3.0

A fairly standard YA horror story, taking inspiration from the Friday the 13th series with its summer camp setting. Our main character Holly tries to uncover the cause a series of 'accidents' marked with a red feather as a calling card, while navigating the minefield that is teenage grudges. It has enough tension to keep things moving, a rather grisley murder for a YA book, and just the classic Fear Street vibes.
