An NDN book with a slightly unhinged and unreliable protagonist who is convinced she’s in the plot of a slasher film?? I didn't know I needed this, but sign me up!

I’m actually not a big horror movie fan, but I’m familiar with most of the basics mentioned here so I had fun with the (many, many) references to horror movies. And the “Slasher 101” papers were fun too - especially for someone like me that only has a passing knowledge of horror movies. But under the over-the-top slasher-ness of it all, there's some real intense stuff - like why Jade is so obsessed with horror movies.

Most of the book (after the intense opening) is slow moving, but I loved it - you're in Jade's head trying to figure out if she's delusional or if there really is a killer coming to get everyone. But even if you're on board with that, it's not for everyone - it's pretty gory and bloody in places!

This was still great, though it didn't have the same magic for me as the first one. Jade is a little more grown up in this one, and I'm loving her journey. It's also fun to see others step in to add to the slasher knowledge. It's bloody and violent - and probably has more action than the first one - but the send ups to horror movies are just so much fun!

I wasn't sure where else this trilogy would go after the first two books, but this was a solid conclusion. I enjoyed following Jade again and had a lot of fun with the homages and references to the slasher genre!
