It’s almost as if someone looked at Patrick Bateman, and then said “Hold my Fucking Beer”.

This was the exact book I needed at the moment. One full of horror movie references, and one that takes place largely, inside Disney’s California Adventure park. Yes our leading lady plays Elsa in DCA, and while names are never said, the author cleverly tells you exactly what you need to know. Maeve is a new favorite horror character for me. Spending time in her twisted mind, was equally heartbreaking, horny and horrifying. We get strong American Psycho vibes here, but a feminist version. All the characters, even the recurring background ones, are so thoughtfully fleshed out, and it really helps you dive into this psychotic world. CJ Leeds is an author I look forward to reading more of.

This was a pretty fun weird girl book, with some great classic horror references and a unique storyline.

I personally wouldn’t describe it as ‘feminist horror’ like i’ve seen it described by other reviewers. Maeve is absolutely not a feminist character, she’s actually quite actively misogynistic at times and SAs a lot of her victims, so I think it’s very misleading to describe this book that way.

But apart from the misleading descriptions, i did enjoy this book. It was pretty campy at times, and very gory, and even though i think more could have been done with the gore and actual horror scenes, this is a pretty solid story.

This story was made for me. The MC was so interesting.

Her and Gidion’s story was so sad, he was the same he was her equal. But because the belief that no one would understand her, that she would always be alone was in her head she couldn’t see.
