Ooh this is a hard one. It started out really well. The ambience, the slasher-like chase scenes, especially up until the halfway point. After that, it just got repetitive and it felt like the author wanted to throw in over the top twists and surprises which really impacted the camp for me. Honestly this could have worked really well as a novella, but I did enjoy my time reading it.
Overall the story has promise, but something about this just didn't work for me.
The characters were underdeveloped and the withholding of background on them didn't really seem to serve a purpose outside of intrigue. The reveal of that was pretty lackluster and just more sad than shocking.
The book inside a book thing, though funny due to the clear contrast of perception, was just hard to read. I get what TA was trying to do, but ugh I did not like when it was more than like 2 paragraphs.

We've all done it. Finished an awful book, rated it one star, gave a bad review, and then didn't think about it again.
Emma Carpenter is house-sitting with her dog, Laika, at an isolated beach house on the Washington Coast. Emma, going through a rough time in her life and in a very depressive state, is filling her time with reading, walks on the beach, and playing white board window games with her neighbor, Deek. After reading a horrible 99 cent book, Emma submits a one star review on Amazon, and is dragged into an argument with the author where he advises her to remove her review. Emma refuses and then strange things start to happen, and there's no such thing as coincidence.
I'm not a big thriller reader, but the premise of this book got my attention immediately! I loved the way we got the villain's perspective from a future book and the clever acknowledgement section as well.
This one was well written and full of twists and turns all the way to the last page. Fun, fast paced, and a binge worthy read.
4.5 stars
LOVED THIS! Was so creative the way the “book within a book was”. The last 2 parts were whiplash, so many last little plot twists leading to the last page
2.5
this was fine, loved it at the beginning but the cat and mouse part dragged for me. it was fine at first but then idk i just stoped caring and i felt like there was no pay off or satisfaction at the end. almost no plot twist and the ones dat happend i didnt really care for. it wasnt anything bad, pretty quick to read but just fine.
