Going into it, I knew this book probably wasn’t for me bc I’m not a big horror fan. 
I loved the prologue, but I didn’t really enjoy the main plot of the book. I think the parts where they talk about slashers is the strongest part of the book. 
If you don’t like slasher you’ll probably find this book fairly alienating.
