Horror is not my genre! Also, the writing in this felt clunky, none of the characters were that likeable and I had trouble remembering who all the girls were.

I had a lot of time on my hands today, so I did read most of this all in one sitting. It was an easy, thrilling story that was very fun and entertaining. I did have a bit of a hard time getting attached to the group of main characters at first, but otherwise this book was a breeze (fast-paced, not light and airy). Some of the details were more graphic than some of his other books. Hendrix nails the tone in the head like always, though. He has a way of writing that sucks you in almost immediately. “Horrorstor”is up next.

This book was SUCH an amazing introduction into Grady Hendrix's books for me. Wow. I'm very impressed with how he wrote women and from their perspective - super well done. Loved the homage he paid to classic horror films and stories. Things like how the chapters were named??? Genius touches that showed that he truly holds this genre dear. So so good!!
