Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book. I enjoyed the Horror elements of this book and thought it was an interesting read. Loved the movie or book quotes at the beginning of each chapter but was definitely put off by the underlying political views mentioned through the first chapter or two, this is a horror novel I don’t need the veiled political views included.

This is a bonafide, fun, twisty, bloody, and slasher inspired novel. If you're a fan of the genre, as I am, you'll absolutely love this book.

Jenna suffers from anxiety and depression to the point where she rarely leaves her house. But she loves all things horror, especially slasher films and books. Taking a chance to spend a night in a horror themed cabin in Montana, she gets much more than she bargained for. This small town was the home of a brutal massacre twenty five years earlier and, now, another killer is on the loose targeting people involved from a quarter century ago.

With the help of some people she'll meet in town, and with the slasher targeting them as well, it's a race to figure out who's behind the mask if they want to survive.

This is like reading a Scream inspired horror story and I mean that as a compliment. It's twisty, filled with red herrings, multiple characters, and a backstory about small town secrets coming back to haunt the residents. You'll be guessing until the end and it's a lot of fun horrific slashery goodness throughout. I highly recommend it.

This was an ARC I received and was excited to jump in! I finished this on my lunch break so I wanted to give my review. I gave this book 3.5 stars. I am a huge fan of horror movies and I really enjoyed that aspect of the book. At first I found it difficult to relate to our FMC but then she grew on me. I liked that you couldn’t really trust anyone in the book but you could also like them regardless. This was a fast engaging read! If you like slasher horror you should definitely pick it up. It releases on 3/3/26

I enjoy this book a lot because I’m a huge horror movie fan. I love the brutality of the kills and there’s gore and violence in it. I do recommend it if you’re into horror books or horror movies. I want to first thank Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. I was so happy when I got to read this as an ARC.
