I didn't particularly like or dislike this book (audiobook), I found myself losing interest then it'd draw me back in for a little while, then it'd lose me again.
I think there were a few too many twists and turns for me, so new revelations didn't feel very consequential and it felt like it was finished multiple times throughout and then kept going anyway.
It's another one I think I may have enjoyed more reading rather than listening to.
Loved Horrorstor by the same author so expected to love this one too.

The premise is really interesting but even as we got going further into the plot the book didn't really grab me. The MC also didn't really behave the way it was established she should based on the setup, and she kind of drove me nuts as the narrator anyway

3.5/5

A great fun read which plays of many horror/slasher tropes but I felt the end got a little too Rambo-ish for my liking which distracted from my enjoyment of some great twists.

I really enjoyed Grady's writing style though so will be going back for more.

Full review to come.

the premise is so so so interesting but omg the execution was awful, the plot twist/reveal was so anticlimactic, boring, and random.
