Tastes Like Candy

I really enjoyed this book. It was such a fun read, I loved the carnival setting! At the beginning I had a tough time keeping all the characters straight, because they read very similar. The death scenes were way more brutal than I had expected. The killer was not who I thought, but their reasoning was very silly. I didn't take the book too seriously, and that's the point! Very campy and very fun 

I really enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected. I've been trying to get more into horror books this year and this one seemed like a pretty popular slasher so I decided to give it a try and see if I'd enjoy it. Since writing this review I've read a few more slashers and I can confidently say that it's definitely not gonna be on a short list of my favorite horror sub-genres. 
I didn't really care for all of the characters that were getting killed, which probably isn't the point since all of the reviews mainly mention the way the kills were happening but I just don't think I'm ever gonna be able to give a book in this genre more than a 4 star because of it.

But that being said, I really appreciated all of the setup of the characters and their motivations at the start of this book. It definitely had me creeped out at certain points and guessing who the killer was the whole time. Also, I really enjoyed how fast-paced it was and the length was perfect IMO.
I had a fun time and I'm happy I gave it a chance.
