This book was such a ride! This book tells the story of the tragedy that occurs during the reopening of Bonkin's Bonanza. For many of the thrill-seekers and families visiting Bonkin's Bonanza, that day would be their last. And the events that unfolded would go on to become infamously known as The Cotton Candy Massacre. If you are into blood, massacres, clowns, and horrific acts to unfold before your eyes then read this book and prepare for the wild ride!

So much fun! Campy slasher. Reads like a Rob Zombie movie if that is what you’re into.

This book was very freaking great. It was so gruesome and disturbing but like i couldn’t stop reading. Once it starts getting good you literally stay on the edge of your seat until it’s over. I loved it so much! and the writing style i loved that just as much

The Cotton Candy Massacre was a gore-fest; it made me feel physically sick. And I LOVED IT!

The only reason I could not give this five stars is that there was a bit of a lull when we entered Bonkin's Bonanza Big Blow Out; the story just felt like it was being dragged out with all the "deadly" carnival games.

Nonetheless, The Cotton Candy Massacre did not disappoint with its gore and violence. The writing style felt unique and original; it brought the characters and Bonkin's Bonanza to life, and I felt like I was inside the story living the events with the characters. Once I had finished The Cotton Candy Massacre, I felt empty inside, the sign of a good book!

P.S. Why did Clark, Cliff and Rocky have to die!? And why did Stacey not get saved from being a possessed clown!? Knowing what Rocky's future would have been made his death harder.
