Camp Lanier

Interesting read.

The horror is very real in this one and that makes it a painful book to read, but it is important to know the real facts that this story is based on. There is a slow build to the final battle scene. The slow build was sometimes a little too slow. The ending was nice to have, but a little too easy after the battle. I would have liked a little bit of time dealing with things before there was a happy ending.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC to review. 

This is a YA Horror book, which I'm glad to see. There weren't many of these when I was a kid & glad it's starting. 

I really enjoyed the premise and loved learning about Oscarville and Lake Lanier. I had never heard of this but of history in Atlanta and wish the book had delved in even more. 

Why just a 3.5? I was about 65% in when the book finally got to the meat of the story. The build up was very long and I wish we were in the heart of it more. The character development wasn't enough IMO either and felt rushed. I also thought there was a bit too much going on: slashers, ghosts, camp story, lots of characters. For a short book I felt like it should have stuck with a little less so it felt more fleshed out. 

Regardless, I loved the history, I loved the premise, and I am glad I read it.
