Heads Will Roll by Josh Winning
4.0
A bloody, campy slasher in the middle of the woods with a bunch of cancelled celebs/troublemakers/people wanting to "escape reality"
Could you hand over your phone for 2 weeks surrounded by strangers in the middle of nowhere? I've read enough horror so no thanks. I'm ALSO not getting cancelled for any heinous tweets, as our FMC is, so I have noooo reason to need electronic escape.
This book has near perfect pacing which is hard to do with a plot people tend to read over and over. Josh brought something new into this story and it was the uneasiness of not knowing anyone's real names or identities. I really enjoyed the use of creepy, bonfire horror stories to further the plot as well.
Typically with a story like this you wouldn't get any profound meaning out of it (and thats perfectly good in my book) but this story did hit some thinking points with its small focus on social media.
Thanks so much to G.P. Putnam's Sons and NetGalley for the ARC
