SGJ does it again. Glad he waited until he had the right protag for this novel, Jade is killer. Very much looking forward to the next in the series. 

Jade is a little rebel just trying to survive her small Idaho town on a lake. There’s a camp on the lake with history (of course there is, this is a slasher after all), and some new homes being built by wealthy across the lake stirring things up. 

The ways this slasher unfolds will keep you guessing though, as it pulls you down deeper into the mythos and history of the genre.
