This wasn't the book for me. The first part took too long and was the set-up for any horror movie. The author did this intentionally to make fun of the "defenseless woman alone" trope. But I've never liked that sort of book or movie, and it didn't work for me. If you like horror films, you'll probably like this book. The rest of the book was clever, but it was too little too late.
