This book falls into a sweet spot between horror and YA romance? The horror scenes and the kills are actually well described and interesting. Where the book struggles a bit is being so caught up in the romance, that it doesn't consistently build tension/suspense that creates scares or the actual horror. It is a pretty fast paced read and the kills are evenly paced through the book so that makes up for the lack of suspense building for me, but I know that might be an issue for someone that enjoys traditional slashers. This was my first read by this author (who I believe is known for YA romance) so it makes sense that she leans on romance even in a horror.
