5.0

This book is a great take on the summer camp/slasher/final girl trope. The initial set-up is clever and not one I have seen before. The book does a great job building tension. If a book can have jump scares, this book has them. There is a mystery intertwined with the horror. I liked the resolution of the mystery. This main protagonist, Charity, is an appealing lead character. Her responses to the events in the book were realistic. The responses of the other characters were realistic also. I can't recommend this book highly enough for those who like the horror trope I described above.
