Willow’s worst nightmare was being canceled. But the shadows in the woods of Camp Castaway might destroy more than her reputation.
After sitcom star Willow tweets herself into infamy and stumbles blind-drunk into a swimming pool, her agent ships her off to Camp Castaway. Nestled deep in upstate New York, Castaway is a summer camp for adults who are desperate to leave their mistakes behind. No real names, no phones . . . no way to call for help.
Willow’s fellow campers seem okay. Her own favorite actress is even here, making a s’more. And did that jaded writer, Dani, just wink at her? But the peaceful vibe is shattered when one of the campers vanishes and Willow finds a mutilated doll in her room with a threatening message rolled up inside its mouth. Terror grips the group, campers begin to lose their heads—literally—and disturbing past deeds come to light.
Is Willow about to get cancelled all over again, this time for good?

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Putnam Books for an ARC of this in exchange for a review!!!
I did not like this author's previous book, and I don't think I will continue reading from him. His concepts sound so good, but unfortunately the execution just doesn't do it for me. I know I'm in the minority, and it makes me sad. The characters in this book felt very one dimensional and I could not connect with any of them. The plot felt all over the place and certain points were obvious, and others were just out of left field. I liked the LGBTQ+ representation, but some of it felt kind of forced. I liked the idea, setting, and the sprinkled mixed media, but it just didn't work out.
I loved this.
It had camp vibes which I love and it had religious horror undertones actually done WELL. I don't typically like religious horror but this one was so good.
I loved that despite it being slasher in the way where since so many characters are being killed off there aren't many options left by the end of who the killer could be, that we still got plenty of plot twists along the way.
A beautiful marriage of my love for horror and mystery.
