I am a huge horror movie fan, so I'm fond of this new trend of horror movie-esque novels. I read Final Girls earlier this year and found it enjoyable but I enjoyed this one more. The story started out with a fast pace and kept going. I was engaged throughout the entire book, and finished it in two days
As an added fun fact, half of this was reading out loud to a friend on a road trip, and this book was so interesting that when we got home she immediately downloaded it on her Kindle Fire! It went back and forth between the narrative and the murders which also helped to keep the pace engaging.

I was surprised how quickly the murderer was outted but that didn't make the rest of the story drag at all. In fact, I think it helped to keep the pace going. There was a good blend of emotions, and not just teen angst which is something that you expect in these types of novels and honestly was something that Final Girls had in spades. I found most of the characters sympathetic with the exception of the murderer (naturally), and mourned the losses, along with the characters. The threads with Makani's parents were never resolved so if you are a completionist and expecting a Hallmark moment on that brace yourself for that disapointment. For me, this was okay because the relationship with her grandmother grew so well and became stronger because of it.

Overall I would recommend this as a spooky read especially if you're a fan of this type of horror movie. It will keep you engaged the entire time until the last page.
