Love Jade and Letha’s return, as well as some other familiar faces, and the introduction of new faces including our new boogeyman (all with a surprise twist at the end because duh it’s Graham Jones after all) that closes the loop on a subplot from My Heart Is A Chainsaw.
And the last couple lines whewww! Spoiler:
Gods I love a good slasher. I’ll be anxiously awaiting the close of this series and returning to Jade, Letha and the gang, while revisiting films in anticipation of how we might close out this saga.

My only criticism is that I felt that the fantastical element was as seamlessly integrated into the plot as it was in the last one. But I'm so excited for the third book in this series it's been so good so far.
On a reread I agree with everything me from a year ago said, but I think this is book, like the first in the series, improves on a rereading. Knowing the twists in the plot makes it really fun to see the foreshadowing for the reveal for what it was.

Second reading review: While having just read Chainsaw helped with the characters the multiple povs still hurts the book, slows momentum, etc. Showing what someone was doing before they are gored is how slasher movies operate but I think SGJ wants to flesh out his characters maybe too much.
Still looking forward to the finale though!
