YNSDT is a fast paced and interesting addition to the horror genre. Following Charity and the haphazard group of teens trying to survive the night, at first for fun and then for survival, this book creates a vivid, visceral story. The characters each have strong voices and overpowering motivations that revive a very specific image of horror many are familiar with from the cult classics horror fans will always go back to. While the end in my opinion works harder to set up a sequel than to give a satisfying conclusion, this is unsurprising in a horror novel inspired by films like Friday the 13th. Overall, it’s easy to fall in love with these characters and enjoy the twists that come. If the Fear Street trilogy and classics like Halloween and Friday the 13th speak to you, this book is a great summer read.

This was a quick read. I enjoyed it, but it's not my favorite book by Bayron. The characters were fun, the dialogue was a little cheesy, and the plot was predictable.
