(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Dead Flip is multiple perspective and plays around with timelines. Those are two elements guaranteed to intrigue me. Multiple POV novels are so good at telling different angles of a situation of a world. And Dead Flip is no exception especially as it forces readers to question the reliability and biases of our narrators. Additionally, flipping to the past 80s vibes gives readers first hand insight into what happened with Sam. Why the town seemingly has given up on him - except Maz.
Dead Flip is unraveling what is happening now by juxtaposing it with the past. With the ways in which our memories and regrets catch up to us. I loved the 80s and 90s nostalgia which I guess makes this a historical fiction fantasy?? But even more so, the tension and suspense in Dead Flip is fantastic.
