Not my favorite book by Bayron, but I still enjoyed it and liked how she played around with typical horror movie/book tropes. I think You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight would have benefited from being a little longer and thus giving a chance for some aspects to be fleshed out better.
I thought the Owl Society was interesting, but would have liked to learn more about them. It felt like we just got a vague overview. I also personally didn't love the supernatural elements, but I'm sure plenty of people will disagree on that. Finally, I was kinda expecting there to be a killing spree WHILE the game was going on so no one knew if it was real or not.
