A decent short read in the vein of Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer. It’s the type of book you just have to read and go along with, without thinking too much or asking too many questions or it all falls apart pretty quickly. There’s damning plot holes (the school remains open for play practice after a gruesome bathroom murder??? Come on!) and another annoyance is the constant use of “smartphone”…I mean it’s 2025, everyone has a smartphone, you don’t need to constantly say it! After about 50 times of reading it, it gets quite tiresome. And another annoyance is the detective constant referring to herself as “sexy hot mama!”. It’s ridiculous!
Again, a decent read if you like the teen slashers of 25+ years ago, you might enjoy this one, just don’t expect much depth or development of character and be ready to accept plot holes and completely unrealistic developments with the plot.

The story line was really good, it definitely kept you going and wanting to read more to know who the killer was. The cast of characters was pretty wide range and easy to follow. (A couple of those names tho really kept tripping me up). Over all I highly enjoyed this quick simple and scary read
The only factor that got really annoying was how often the characters last times were mentioned even toward the very end, their was also quite a few typos and wording mistakes.

The book itself was ok. Easy read. Fairly predictable though and I felt the story would have been best told in third person rather than first person
