The Camp

I saw Friday the 13th meets Yellowjackets with a summer camp setting and I was sold. I was really looking forward to a slasher type read. However, that is not what I got. This isn't in any way close to being like Friday the 13th. Yes, there are some similarities BUT this doesn't have any of the quick-paced slasher scenes nor was it thrilling or remotely scary. It's also very slow and not much happens through the first 80ish percent.

That being said, although I was disappointed with the false advertising...it wasn't all bad and I did enjoy the last 20ish percent. This is when it finally kicked up a notch and you get a small play of action. Nothing thrilling but at least something finally happens.

I didn't love this one but I also didn't hate it. It was a great time waster and kept me occupied as I wasn't feeling all that great today so there is that at least.

I would say that this would be a good one for those who enjoy a mystery, likes camp settings and doesn't mind an extremely slow build. While this didn't work for me, it will for others so if this interests you, give it a go and see where you fall.

I sincerely appreciate Kensington Publishing for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

Really more of a 2.5 rounded to a 3.
