Firstly, I’m so appreciative to of had a chance to read this on NetGalley for their camp they do once a year. NetGalley is honestly a book lovers dream for ARCs.
I’ve never been a huge slasher reader. Slasher movies? 100% yes. But for some reason I’ve never been drawn to slasher books.
However, when I saw this cover on NetGalley and read the description, I decided to give one a chance and I am really glad I did.
I finished this book in around 4 hours, maybe 3.5? Because I just couldn’t put it down.
The first sentence drew me in. The first chapter had me questioning everything straight away. So the rest of the book definitely had me drawn in.
We have an untrustworthy narrator which always makes things more interesting as you never know what to believe.
And at first I didn’t enjoy the 3rd person pov, but the further we got into the book. The more I understood it and the more of an impact it had.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and was completely shocked by the ending.
It wasn’t what I expected at all.
I’m definitely going to have to look into this author more and maybe expand into reading more slashers too!
