* I got this book at ALA*
This was was a fun creepy and horror novel. I did love the characters the we met and also the lead character experience was a fun. I also love who the author explored all the murder victims and really gave the audience so much information about them. It was a very bloody and gory book. I just wanted the killer was shown really early but I found that dynamic was unique and I am just not sure how I feel about it. I loved the diversity of this book. It was super fast read. I just wanted a bit more out of the mystery in this story. But it was fun, creepy read prefect for the fall season! ( )

This was more like a 2.5 star. What I am finding is that I am not a fan of teen horror books. Horror as a genre already requires a lot of suspension of disbelief to buy into the story. I have tried several times now to read teen horror and so far I have yet to find a story that got me to the point where I wasn't thinking about all the ridiculous, silly things people were doing. I get why my students like the genre but I will be returning back to the adult writers. ( )

A book so full of potential, but lackluster in execution. ( )

I had a blast reading this book. It hit my nostalgia real hard. I grew up reading teen slasher novels (my favorite was Horrorscope) and it totally took me back to that period of time. It's just a fun ride and you can't think too deeply about it because it's the type of story that falls apart under scrutiny. I do think that the reveal was underwhelming. So much so, that I kept thinking that there had to be more going on. Also, I wish that the killer's motivation was made clearer and that the characters figured it out earlier. This book isn't prefect, but it was perfect for me. ( )
