I've been on a little horror binge all month and came across this title on a TikTok video comparing it to slasher movies and I got to say this one is sitting pretty up there with the best of them. It was fast and fun and everything you need a high school slasher. The characters are believable and relatable and are people you knew in high school, too. I don't know too much about small town life, but I gotta say this one sounds a lot like what I know it to be like; battle of the generations. 
Cole and Quinn are great leads and the way their stories moved was great to read, even back ground characters were very compelling and it was sad to see some of them die

especially Tucker and Janet

. 
I heard it's getting made into a show/movie and I can't wait.


Crying score: nah.

Loved this book, loved the politics. It was gory but not too gory. Loved the message.
