A couple of teachers and a group of students head off to the National Ecological Education Centre for an educational trip. Instead of learning, they end up fighting to survive.
Things start off a bit slowly, but when it picks up, it REALLY picks up. People are dying in mysterious, mind-blowing ways and others are being wiped out at an alarming rate by someone at NEEC. I enjoyed this one. I’m a huge fan of slashers and this one hit all the marks. I loved the environment and how the victims were taken out, even those that weren’t chased down. When it’s finally revealed who is behind the grisly deaths and what may be to blame, it’s far too late. The last half of the book had me flying through the pages, which led to a surprising ending.
If you enjoy slashers, don’t pass this one up. Phillips offers some descriptive scenes with each victim, and he shows no mercy towards any of them.
"His face held a terrified grimace, his eyes wide and bloodshot, as if he'd died mid-way through the worst pain imaginable."

If you love a good slasher, you'll definitely enjoy Field Trip. It takes about halfway through for the action to really ramp up, but once it does, it doesn't stop. The first half of the book is taken up by characterization and teenage shenanigans, but I enjoyed that part as well. Field Trip would make an excellent movie! I'm looking forward to reading more titles by Harrison Phillips.
