"It's all fun and games until you're dead."
THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING AND OH MY GOD my jaw lives on the floor now! If you were worried about Bayron's foray into horror from fantasy, please know those concerns are unfounded and you need to read this book immediately! and then scream at me about it.
You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight is an ode and love letter to slasher flicks and a must-read for horror fans. Fast-paced and impossible to put down, I devoured this book in one sitting. I don't know that I will ever be calm hearing a splash in an empty lake ever again, so thanks for that new unlocked fear.
One of my favorite things about the horror genre is that it's a vehicle for social commentary as well as entertainment, and this book embodies that "horror spirit". I don't want to talk too much about this aspect because I think it is best to go in blind, but I would be remiss to not mention how much my mind is reeling since finishing.
