I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

The concept was so interesting and very well executed. Full of twists and surprises - I totally didn’t guess the killer!

It’s split into 3 parts, with each part having short chapters that alternate between Ella, Chris and Keller’s perspectives. With the chapters being so short, I did struggle at the beginning to get used to how quick it flicks between characters.

I really liked Keller and Ella as character, wasn’t fussed on Chris. However, I did think that Ella was a more interesting ‘final girl’ than Jesse - I don’t know if it’s because of how they were written or if it was because Ella was an ‘old’ final girl whereas Jesse had only just become a final girl.

Overall, I found it to be a really interesting alternative ‘final girl’ style thriller.
