Honestly I spent a not-insignificant part of this book thinking about how this would make an awesome backstory for a superhero who never makes it higher than second string because his power's too creepy and tragic, so I was too attached to really accept the inevitability of Tolly's death. That being said! I appreciated the big switcheroos of Amber being the final girl rather than Mel and peanuts being Tolly's weakness even after he became a slasher. Both points were obvious, but in that really satisfying way a good story gets where the payoff makes you feel clever and/or attentive.
