This book reads like an 80s movie. Hooked from the beginning. It read so fast and smoothly. It just worked. How does a mummy centuries years old invade a sleepover? Well It kinda makes sense here 😂. I loved all the characters! The kids were well done, and the drama was there. It's been too long since I've read a Rufty. This is probably my 15th Rufty novel.
This story explodes out of the starting gates and wraps its horror laden arms around you in its ghoulish embrace.
It has a fun coming of age feel to it, with nostalgic Halloween vibes, that will ultimately lull you into a false sense of security and comfort, before hitting you with the bloody terror, and have you turning the pages quicker than you can run from the resulting carnage!
A steady, captivating build up…. takes an unexpected twist. A fun, addictive, page turner, that's not extreme, just a good old fashioned slasher, with an axe wielding, vengeful mummy!
The Sleepover Mummy Massacre is a fun, thrilling read. It grabbed me in from the first chapter, allowing it to be a struggle to put down. I actually finished this book in nearly one sitting. Normally I am not a fan of multiple POVs, but it worked in this case. It felt almost necessary to have as many. This is my third Rufty book, and it did not disappoint!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Sleepover Mummy Massacre Kristopher Rufty This book is a fun ride!!! Halloween anyone??? This book follows middle school aged boys desperate to see some action at their big sister's sleepover, but before they make it there they run into some trouble with a bully+ who runs into some trouble with another, older bully- Much older. So old, in fact, that it smells the rank of death, is trailing pieces of toilet paper (?), and is hell bent on slashing every soul in it's path! If you enjoy mummies, coming of age stories, murder, and a fast ride, grab yourself a copy asap - it's too good to miss out on!
