Uhm, fuck me, cuz this was QUALITY.
The slasher vibes were real, the trope subversion was immaculate and Jade was a fucking fantastic lead character with the Author Notes just validating that sentiment to me even more when I read them.
I immediately went and purchased a copy for my own collection and will be waiting in avid anticipation for the sequel.
This bloody delivered in every way I wanted it to and every way I didn’t know I needed it to.
Go read this.
