Definitely check TW, as I went into this not having seen the movie and it's definitely darker than the books I typically go for, but Bridgett Nelson's clever, snappy writing style really gives you a sense of the characters and the story being told and she builds a really immersive world. I felt like even if I couldn't relate to some of the horrible characters, they were written in a way that made it extremely easy to get in their heads; I wasn't rooting for many of them, but I understood who they were and why they acted the way they did.
Once I started, I read this in two quick sittings and was voraciously trying to get to the end. A book has not left me on the edge of my seat like this in a long time! I felt extremely connected to Deadgirl, the dual POV really helps to break up some of the more intense visuals, and the chapters were short without leaving any annoying loose ends. Overall, a 4.5 star read for me!
Perfect for any fans of dark horror. Thank you to Bridgett Nelson and BookSirens for allowing me to read an advanced review copy for free and allowing me to share my thoughts.
