I hate this book. But also I couldn't DNF it because I was so angry and wanted SOMETHING to go right... right? Wrong.

This cannibal is invincible?! He was shot twice, had an ax in him, and who knows what else yet he STILL survived?! Basically, everyone died. The people who had the opportunity to shoot him all missed. The gore was DISGUSTING. The cannibal could see ghosts and he has super-sonic hearing. And you're going to tell me this BIG DUDE who apparently has the mental capacity of a second grader can fit through windows in a cabin and has enough awareness to have an alternate personality that is smart and knows to set the camp on fire so he can leave. We got a glimpse of him living a normal life and going to work for what? For no reason. It was irrelevant to the book. OH AND THEN HE GOT AWAY. Two people survive him and he still gets away.

Dumb. I hate this book

A easy to read, fun slasher!

Paced just like a horror movie. We start with a scare and move on to a new group about to have a bad time. The killer is built with trauma, some un-natural traits and it's mysteries. The "victims" are not developed much and make "dumb" decisions that will frustrate you, but some are kind folk I would have liked to spend more time with. I do think a bit of the supernatural talk was not needed, but did not bother. The setting is great as we are in the fresh and green woods that is suddenly very scary to move around. And of course, you got gory kills!

Ready for the sequel!

This over all was a good . Egnacio was completely scary and the gore and death was awesome! Some of it was a bit cheesy but that’s what I love about slashers . For me it was a bit challenging to follow so many different characters and POV. I enjoyed the book over all.

This was a very fast-paced read! Around the beginning I did find some typos which threw me off the story a little - being an English teacher all the time apparently.

I really like the action in this story but I was also saying “nah I wouldn’t do that - go the other way” and did frequently call some of these characters stupid.

Not sure if I really enjoyed the ending though…

The plot was well thought out. I didn’t really like the back story for Ignacio and sympathising with his character at all! How come he hasn’t been caught? Wouldn’t the police have combed the woods or ‘camp slaughter’ with all these missing campers? Seems sus to me 🤷‍♀️

Pumped for Sergio Gomez’s next book set to come out this year! I want to know what happens next 🙃
