This book made me feel physically sick. It was wonderful. I feel like I just watched an 80s slasher film.

BLAND. SOOOOOO BLAND. I'll say that this one was actually the weakest novel I have read which features cannibals. And I say features because half of the book doesn't even focus on the cannibals. The first and the second sections of the novel tell us about the life and struggles our characters (who are going to be butchered) have to face in the world. How they think that the person they are dating is not better than the previous person they dated. I DIDN'T LIKE THAT!!!! WHY SHOULD WE KNOW THIS STUFF IF THESE PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO BE KILLED IN THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS????  

I am not saying that this is a bad book. It's a good book. But why the unnecessary character development? And what was the purpose of introducing cops in the story? They have no roles in this novel until 90% mark. And that too was kind of unnecessary. Still the parts which DID focus on the cannibals were great. Perfect actually. Which is why I said it's a good book . I hope the next book in the series is better. 3.5 Body fluid lathered stars 🌟🌟🌟✨

Not a big fan of this one. Feel like it took a bit to get moving, and its a bit much for me. The Hills Have Eyes was based off this, which I also didn't get on with.
