I was in the mood for something creepy and even a bit scary. This felt more like a teen drama. That makes sense now that I see it's YA. I still found it an entertaining, quick read.

 I'm not sure if I'm past my YA horror era or if this just wasn't for me. I found all of the characters annoying, and very much you reap what you sow. A lot of the characters felt really underdeveloped to the point that when the twist came I wasn't really shocked, nor did I care. Not because I really saw it coming, just because the people who were involved were so underdeveloped, it just didn't matter.

Anyway, the basis of this book, rooted so deeply in a love for horror is a great idea and I just wish that it was better used.

I got way more into this than I had anticipated. There’s something about teenagers getting into shit that I love. Was I distracted by the red herring? Yes I fell for it hook line and sinker, however I knew the twist before it was coming because I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries lately. 3.75, because I was hoping for more murder and I saw the twist coming.
