The slasher vibes were real, the trope subversion was immaculate and Jade was a fucking fantastic lead character with the Author Notes just validating that sentiment to me even more when I read them.
I immediately went and purchased a copy for my own collection and will be waiting in avid anticipation for the sequel.
This bloody delivered in every way I wanted it to and every way I didn’t know I needed it to.
Go read this.

I did appreciate the references to slashers and the way the actual narrative paralleled Jade's slasher knowledge (like, when she would write an essay about red herrings and then the actual narrative would show a scene that really WAS a red herring). I imagine if I was a slasher fan, then I would have really enjoyed this book. I also didn't realize this was a series when I started/finished reading, so maybe that would've changed my enjoyment of the book - but I doubt I will continue with the series
