Sure, you haven't spoken since you two had a falling out in high school, but Caleb has gotten over that. He's a forgiving person. It was all a misunderstanding.

An all-expense paid trip to a luxurious resort. High up in the Alps. Secluded and private. Please RSVP. It's sure to be a killer party.

What a fun and quick read, this book was amazing, it's wild from the start and never let up. There aren't any really real twists or many surprises it's just a good ol' free for all murder fest and it was great!

I FLEW through this. Holy hell, what a crazy ride. This splatterpunk gore thriller was an absolute roller coaster and I loved it.

My review is for the eBook.
This book has a unique plot for a extreme horror book that reminds me of the horror films Ready or Not or the Hostel films.
The Venue definitely seems like a clandestine and expensive place in Europe that caters to the wealthy elite discreetly and allows them to indulge in questionable behaviour, but as long as they are paid for their services they turn a blind eye to what occurs there.
It is a business after all & they want to be profitable, and cater to all their guests every whim or need.
So it's not surprising that the staff had no reaction when the wedding planner discovered the
blood-splattered severed ear outside near a bush.
This book is going to be fun to read.
I like the relationship between Amy and Mariko, their sense of humour they have.
From the draft invitation letters there is a escalation of violent intentions & hatred towards Amy specifically, so she may have fucked over or rejected Caleb in the past if he really was “a creeper”, a “creepy weird, kid” as her dad described while they are on the plane to travel to the wedding.
It's weird the the wedding invites and the website associated with the wedding or the RSVP's disappeared completely like it never happened.
I like the author's writing style, the theme and plot of this eBook.
