A thrilling quick read. My rating would be higher if

the actions of the villains weren't immediately blamed on their bad (addict, sex worker) mothers. Most of the book is so delightfully anti-sexism, then it trips and falls into the "the bad actions of men can be blamed on failed women" trope. Ms. Perkins, you didn't have to do that.Graphic: Sexual violence, Child abuse, Death, Death of parent, Sexism, Cursing, Gore, Gun violence, Body horror, Animal death, Grief, Kidnapping, Violence, Rape, Confinement, Injury/Injury detail, Misogyny, Murder, Vomit, Blood, and Sexual assault

the decision of them to keep going after their big fight and since they were very anxious about bears and murderers I would have definitely decided to return home. But yeah, that would be a boring horror book I guess. Plus the shared trauma has definitely helped forget the fight and strengthen their friendship. I do think they need at least a gap year for therapy before they do anything else though. Oh, and I wasn't a big fan of the serial killers, they felt a bit too much I guess. Not fully believable but definitely disturbing.Graphic: Body horror, Injury/Injury detail, Murder, Physical abuse, Violence, Blood, Torture, Death, Excrement, Gore, and Gun violence

It was ok. The writing was pretty and well done, but nothing especial to write home about. I think I'd like it more if I knew it wasnt horror but a thriller. You know, despite what the book summary might say. There's zero paranormal or supernatural shit happening. Also the classism shit about the Bad Guys being
