This book was cuckoo bananas exorcist channeling crazy good! I enjoyed the characters, the plot twists were well played, and the end was not what I was expecting. Only holding off on 5 stars because of one plot hole involving Brigid. Otherwise, that was a wild ride and worth every page! 

Many thanks to the Horror Writers Association, StokerCon2025, and the publisher Quirk Books for the ARC. 😊

One of my favorites by Mr. Sager. This had the perfect vibe for a July read. Summer camp gone wrong!!! Loved the twists of the two stories and how they connected. The end was very satisfying. So good!

Similar vibe to Addie LaRue, but with vampires and cast of really interesting ladies. Although the story was well written and atmospheric…the end was not what I wanted. Definitely worth the read!

I loved this book until the finale. I had quite a bit of it figured out and the one twist I didn’t was not that good. Overall a wild and crazy read and worth it!

Gripping, disturbing, and sad. I read this in one day…had to know what happened in the Garden. Although the story was well crafted, I’m holding out on five stars because of one twist at the very end…just didn’t think it worked.

Finished this on my flight home from London. What an incredible story. I can see why people are both intrigued and frightened by this book…I could see it happening.

This books keeps you guessing until the very end. Started off a bit slow, but then come the plot reveals…and then it keeps building. The end is satisfying, but needed a bit more.

Such a cool concept with very likable main characters. I enjoyed the whole mysterious movie director storyline and the twists it takes. Just not sure about the ending…not with Cordova, but Ashley.
