This is a relatively short read. And I was somewhat worried when I started this because I’ve see. Such mixed reviews for this. I really enjoyed Mister Magic and I like amusement park horror/thrillers so figured with it being under 300 pages, it would be easy to read

There are 14 “main” characters and it may seem somewhat overwhelming but for how this book works, I feel that the description of the 14 fits and makes it easier to remember what each character’s “core” was

I actually really enjoyed the mystery of what the horror was, and there even seemed to be a bit of cosmic horror sewn into it

Honestly the fact that Linda sees the 14 as selfish, lazy and good for nothing really shows her disconnect with the people they had chose for the season. Each character, while yes chose to take the deal for their own reasons, they all (except maybe Jayden) had a good reason to have taken the deal. They want to make friends, maybe this’ll help me get a job, wanting to help the person they can’t help anymore. It’s really a sad irony being stuck so far in the past that she never really looked towards the younger generation

Wow um…yay commentary? Anyways, if you’re looking for a short read, I definitely recommend this
