Breathe In, Bleed Out by Brian McAuley
4.5
dark funny mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

This book pulled me in, hit my body with a Range Rover, and then left me bleeding out in the middle of the desert. It was all so fun that I want to do it again! 

I really enjoyed this fresh take on the horror subgenre classic, the slasher. While reading, I was reminded of the over-the-top kills in the Final Destination franchise, as well as the thrill of guessing who the killer is in Scream. Breathe In, Bleed Out brought the slasher all the way into present day, which was something I didn’t know I was missing.
