guess who the killer was not even 50 pages into the book. this was fun but also not too serious which was kinda unfortunate because at certain points guess who the killer was not even 50 pages into the book. this was fun but also not too serious which was kinda unfortunate because at certain points it did feel serious but the ending and the motive was so goofy which tracks for a slasher but here it just felt slightly unrealistic. this is kinda why i stay away from slasher books because they don’t live up to the movies...more

this book kind of felt like the haunting of hill house where there was just ghost in the background while the family was having the worst time ever.
tthis book kind of felt like the haunting of hill house where there was just ghost in the background while the family was having the worst time ever.
this book started off pretty good for me, i enjoyed the main character mainly because everyone was so mean to her for no reason i started to like her by default. also i love “unlikable” women in fiction. the family drama was really intriguing but this book was too slow for me when it came to horror. it took so long to start that by the time it did i didn’t even want to be reading a horror book anymore ...more
really torn on how i feel about this, surprisingly i didn’t find it being because i thought the audiobook was super immersive but i 3.5 stars for now…
really torn on how i feel about this, surprisingly i didn’t find it being because i thought the audiobook was super immersive but i just cannot wrap about my head how or why some random ass unfinished film got a cult following like maybe people were fascinated by it because the people working on it died but other than that it just didn’t seem interesting enough for all of that. i did really really enjoy the twist at the end tho...more

honestly after finding out the author is white that made a lot of sense… it just feels like the characters don’t have a lot of depth and the story jushonestly after finding out the author is white that made a lot of sense… it just feels like the characters don’t have a lot of depth and the story just lacks a lot of heart. this is a good story but what stops it from being great is just simply the fact that that this isn’t his story to tell. i’m not saying white authors can’t write stories like this or characters from a race that isn’t there’s but i just feel this lacked a lot of perspective it wouldn’t had from someone if it were by a black author. ...more

i don’t know if it’s because i have insomnia myself or the fact that i read this faster than i could blink but i absolutely loved this book.
i don’t ki don’t know if it’s because i have insomnia myself or the fact that i read this faster than i could blink but i absolutely loved this book.
i don’t know if everyone will love this but surely it’s for me! i loved how it felt like scooby do but adult, i loved the graveyard setting and i loved this weird friend group they formed. i loved that not every character was a college student and that every character had something personal going on even with how short this book is.
one of my favorite tropes is when the found family is an unlikely group, where they form a found family relationship but either the characters hated each other beforehand or they’re so vastly different you wouldn’t expect them to be friends and surprisingly this book does that well! i think Rio does a good job at writing found family’s or group dynamics in general and i hope to see more of that from her in the future.
i do agree with everyone on the fact that it should’ve been longer but mostly because i fell in love with the characters and wanted more from them. i do think it’s the perfect length for this story because i actually don’t think for me that it would’ve worked as a full length novel....more
