You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight

My wife had “You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight” by Kalynn Bayron on her TBR list, and we decided to give the audiobook a shot. Boy, are we glad we did! The story unfolds in a creepy camp where the main character, Charity, and her crew scare guests by reenacting scenes from a horror movie filmed on that same location. The whole setup gets chillingly real as the plot thickens.

Kalynn Bayron does a fantastic job of creating a spooky atmosphere that's perfect for the setting. The characters were all really well developed, making you root for them as things start to spiral, but also written well enough to make you trust that they are all suffering the same fate. The plot twists are smart and keep you on your toes, building suspense in the best way.

The audiobook was a real delight. Pace was spot-on, and the voice work was just right — not exaggerated, but still intense enough to bring the scary bits alive without having to get dramatic.

Though I found the ending a bit too revealing (without putting any spoilers), it didn't detract from the overall experience. It also sets up some intriguing possibilities for a sequel, which I would certainly read.

Overall, if you're looking for a good scare or just a thrilling story, this audiobook is a great pick. It keeps you engaged and delivers a solid mix of suspense and character depth. Five stars from me—definitely a worthwhile listen!
