<strong>Quick, bloody fun!</strong>
This was my second pick for the #TransRightsReadathon and I'm so happy for the excuse to bump it up my TBR.
It's definitely straight out of an 80s VHS horror. Mean girls, the new girl, and secrets of a small community collide in a bloody mess.
I think my favorite part was just how unstoppable Benny Rose is. He is truly terrifying in his relentless pursuit of the teens. I also love that Benny is far from the only, and arguably isn't even the worst of them.
I think my only downside is I wish there was more concrete information about Benny's backstory. It's Desiree's theory right? Also were her daydreams really daydreams, or were they actually visions?
Overall this had a very different feel to the other Hailey Piper stories that I've read, but it was so much fun, I hope she does more in this vein.
