Every summer I like to read a slasher for Summerween season and this year o finally read Camp slaughter. As the title suggests, this one is gorey, gruesome, and has a low survival rate for its characters.
I love summer slashers so this was a fun one that actually had characters with some background development, still minimal, but a lot for a slasher.
I think the only thing that bothered me with this one was how fast some of the characters died. We spent the majority of the book with these characters and for them all to die with most only getting a paragraph was rough for me. Also, a lot of the characters made very poor, very stupid decisions, or had no reactions at all making them super easy to kill. I get this is a slasher with dumb teens but at times it felt the decisions were just a little too stupid.
Despite my one issue I still greatly enjoyed this one, and loved the supernatural aspect that was interwoven with the slasher. I’m excited to see what happens in the next book in this series.
