I loved this.
It had camp vibes which I love and it had religious horror undertones actually done WELL. I don't typically like religious horror but this one was so good.
I loved that despite it being slasher in the way where since so many characters are being killed off there aren't many options left by the end of who the killer could be, that we still got plenty of plot twists along the way.
A beautiful marriage of my love for horror and mystery.
This was fun and campy and made me nostalgic for my youth and love of slasher movies. The slasher sub-genre is one of my horror favorites and I find them hard to come by. The cover drew me in and I'm so glad I picked this one up. Wasn't all fluff either - I liked the commentary on cancel culture and how every mistake made online comes under scrutiny. Eager to read more by this author.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Putnam Books for an ARC of this in exchange for a review!!!
I did not like this author's previous book, and I don't think I will continue reading from him. His concepts sound so good, but unfortunately the execution just doesn't do it for me. I know I'm in the minority, and it makes me sad. The characters in this book felt very one dimensional and I could not connect with any of them. The plot felt all over the place and certain points were obvious, and others were just out of left field. I liked the LGBTQ+ representation, but some of it felt kind of forced. I liked the idea, setting, and the sprinkled mixed media, but it just didn't work out.
