MY REVIEW I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS! This book will live rent-free in my head for awhile! I have been wanting to read this for so long, and decided to get the audiobook, the narrator, Hewot Tedla, was spot on and it most definitely had all the slasher summer camp films, and done so well! And even when you read about one twist, that could have gone horribly wrong. It didn’t! Everything worked, from the stunning and addictive prologue, to that final chilling, but thrilling final word in the epilogue! I just devoured it, I was there at the Camp, re-living all 80s slashers, such a great homage, and I hadn’t realised I needed such an awesome slasher book until I read this. It was perfect! I kept seeing Owls mentioned in the other reviews, and I had no idea of the meaning….let me say, now I do! I loved the idea that you could pay to stay in the cabins and basically be terrorised all night, acting out these films, a survival horror camp (I want to go to one). That’s Charity, the Final girl, and she works it so well! Her team, all work so hard to scare the bejesus out of you! Each have their strengths, but when three people up and leave suddenly, it puts more pressure on the season’s final night for them and then they have to cancel the final night…well the proverbial s##t hits the fan! It takes time to ramp up the mystery and the horror, but once it’s been let out, the action and the running don’t stop! I loved learning about the camp, and the people and didn’t bother me that most of the action was in the final third. I wanted to care about Charity and friends. Boy were there some brutal incidents. Oh, I want to scream and talk about this book right from the rooftops! It was just beyond epic. It is so nostalgic, but up to date, so thrilling, chilling, and exciting all at the same time! Seriously read this book if you want something to take you back, back to the summer, back to when Jason climbs out of the water……. Until the next time xxx
