Let me tell you the excitement when I received this arc through netgalley was unhinged!
I almost didn't want to read it because then I knew it would be over 😭
The book was perfection and brilliant ending to the series.
I'm so sad it's over

Allllll the stars 🤩

I am so happy and so grateful to have been able to read this book early, Although I never doubted him for a minute, Jones did not disappoint. The Angel of Indian Lake shattered me and put me back together again - it even brought me to tears, an absolute rarity for me when reading. I began to tear up again reading what Jones had to say about Jade in the acknowledgements, which, to me, is indicative of how much his love and respect for the horror genre and his characters permeates his work. Jade Daniels is a singular, fantastic character, and both she and Letha Mondragon are final girls for the ages. I will love them forever! This book was a riot; a bloody, feral scream of a story that I think will shock and satisfy those waiting for this concluding chapter with bated breath!

I inhaled this final installment in the series in one day. It is an absolutely bonkers, absolutely brutally dark and sharp and dreadfully funny book. In plces it is also painfully tender and thoroughly devastating.. It is a perfect ending, and a beautiful sendoff for Jade, tying together her personal story and the story of her community in a way I did not expect. A real tour de force.

-Stephen Graham Jones nailed this. The Angel of Indian Lake was such a great conclusion to the series and the trilogy as a whole is an incredible love letter to slashers.

Plot: fast paced, gorey, whiplash inducing

Characters: I love so many of them and even the ones I hated, they’re not flat villians—there’s depth and care put into everyone.

Jade Daniel’s is my final girl, forever. I love her so much, she will stay with me always.

I wish ratings could go to 6 or 7 stars. This is a great book -- the protagonist has developed, we see more of her relationships with friends and her memories of older teachers and parents, and also many many people die by gory violence (not always even murdered!) Tons of references to pop culture horror (mostly but not entirely movies) but in a way that feels like a real part of the story and not just something peppered in later. Trying not to spoil it but I'll say that if you liked the first two, you will probably also like this one. Even the afterword is great.
