It was nice to read another of Cameron Roubique's novels, after how much I enjoyed Disco Death Trap! This book's summary tells you it's an 80s slasher-style horror in theme and tone, and it absolutely delivers on that front! I've been listening to a lot of the fan recordings of 80s slasher movie novelizations done by The 80s Slasher Librarian on YouTube, and Kill River has a lot of the same tone, tension, adrenaline and bloody violence as in those 80s novelizations. I think it's a fun tribute to the genre, an inventive twist on a slasher story (a water park slasher!) and a pretty good read to get hyped for the summer. I'll need to pick up the two sequel novels sometime soon!
