I was reeled in by the fact that this book is marketed as Friday the 13th meets Yellowjackets.  But that was a let down.  I really wanted to like this one, but the book was just way too long.  Nothing really happened until the last 1/4 of it.  Which makes this a bit too slow of a burn for my taste.  There were too many characters, I just couldn’t keep track of them all.  And each chapter has multiple alternating POVs that aren’t labeled so it’s hard to follow along.  Overall, it was an entertaining read, just didn’t really hit home for me.  I do seem to be in the minority on this one though.  So, I still suggest you pick this one up if you’re looking for camp thrillers or cult vibes.
