Not my favorite book from Winans (Biance Torre still takes that crown), but they are quickly becoming one of my favorite YA mystery/thriller writers! As always, I enjoyed the characters and the relationships they form throughout the book. If you like traditional slasher stories (like Scream), this is definitely for you. It hits a lot of the traditional plot points of a slasher, but also takes it in different directions from time to time. It's a good time overall, and I'll definitely recommend it to teens looking for a new thriller!
Graphic: Death, Violence, Murder
