A easy to read, fun slasher! 

Paced just like a horror movie. We start with a scare and move on to a new group about to have a bad time. The killer is built with trauma, some un-natural traits and it's mysteries. The "victims" are not developed much and make "dumb" decisions that will frustrate you, but some are kind folk I would have liked to spend more time with. I do think a bit of the supernatural talk was not needed, but did not bother. The setting is great as we are in the fresh and green woods that is suddenly very scary to move around. And of course, you got gory kills!

Ready for the sequel!

This over all was a good . Egnacio was completely scary and the gore and death was awesome!  Some of it was a bit cheesy but that’s what I love about slashers . For me it was a bit challenging to follow so many different characters and POV. I enjoyed the book over all.

This was a very fast-paced read! Around the beginning I did find some typos which threw me off the story a little - being an English teacher all the time apparently. 

I really like the action in this story but I was also saying “nah I wouldn’t do that - go the other way” and did frequently call some of these characters stupid. 

Not sure if I really enjoyed the ending though…

The plot was well thought out. I didn’t really like the back story for Ignacio and sympathising with his character at all! How come he hasn’t been caught? Wouldn’t the police have combed the woods or ‘camp slaughter’ with all these missing campers? Seems sus to me 🤷‍♀️

Pumped for Sergio Gomez’s next book set to come out this year! I want to know what happens next 🙃

Also - please check out the content warnings for this book before reading!

Not one I would easily recommend, mostly due to the fact that I get the feeling other people would be very unsatisfied with the amount of things left unresolved and what little explanation we get for a lot of the content within by the end of the book. All I can say for now is that I really hope the author releases another installment in the story of this particular slasher, and I think fans of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th franchises will enjoy this one.
