Charity and a group of other teenagers work the summer at a camp performing a horror simulation where an old slasher was once filmed. Will Charity be forced to play the role of final girl for real when weird things start happening?

It’s about a 3.25 star for me. For what it was, it was good. There were some creepy moments, for sure. I think I might have been more satisfied if the author had kept it simpler though.

It’s a quick, fun read just the same!

Such a fun read oh my goodness. Absolutely love all the horror tropes and the callbacks to classic horror movies! This isn’t a five star read for me because of the paranormal aspects that come into play later on in the story. Had me second guessing characters, even the narrator at times, and trying to be one step ahead every time. I didn’t want my theory to be right but it was 😭 fantastic twist I just hate that I saw it coming
