This was a fun time! Not for most of the characters, but for me. I’m not a huge horror reader so this book was a great, relatively light (if such a thing is possible with horror) foray into the genre for me. Parts of the plot were predictable, some felt a little random and some took me by surprise!
The writing was descriptive but not overly so, it was easy for me to picture the setting and the characters. I really liked the cast of characters, including the FMC Charity.
This would be a good intro to horror/slasher for anyone wanting to try it out as it’s not super full on or gory.
