When Killer Queen Bella joins a cruise ship with the band Slasher, she's looking for more than just sun, relaxation and good times. She's looking for the reason why, behind every Slasher concert, a trail of bodies follow. Is it just bad luck, or it is it something more supernatural?
I've read the Mall Priest book one and It Came from the Pumpkin Patch, so I was familiar with some characters, but had chunks of time/events missing between this book and the author's previous work. However, this didn't detract at all from the story and, if anything, made me want to go back and read this missing books. They did a good job talking about past events and characters in a way that summed it up nicely without being so in-depth it would detract from people who had read the previous stories.
The story itself was in turns comedic and dark. At the midpoint, I had no idea what was going to happen and I love that in a horror book! The ending was fun and descriptive. I loved the 90s references sprinkled throughout.
Thank you to the authors for an eARC of the story! This did not influence my opinion in any way.
