Thanks to the author, Matthew Mercer, for the free audiobook (I won via the gram) which i listened to in tadem with the ebook I purchased!
Oookay, so I had very different expectations when I saw this cover (5 stars) and read the synopsis. I was thinking this would be an all out bloody, gorey, slasher. However, it's more slasher-lite and teen drama/relationships heavy.
SCFSV feels more like a young adult book, which I often enjoy. So, with some adjustments to my original expectations, I felt this was a solid story. The pacing was a bit slow going, for me, due to so much of the story revolving around getting to know the characters and their trauma versus actively slashing and causing trauma... not to worry, there is some slashing, though I felt it wrapped up much too quickly.
Overall, I think this would be great for YA readers interested in getting into slasher books and movies.
The narration was good, though it sort of sounded similar to myself, or most anyone, reading a story out loud. 😁
