Welcome to the funnest spot around . . . Jay is living his best life at Karloff Country, one of the world’s most famous resorts. He’s got his family, his crew, and an incredible after-school job at the property’s main theme park. Life isn’t so great for the rest of the world, but when people come here to vacation, it’s to get away from all that. As things outside get worse, trouble starts seeping into Karloff. First, Jay’s friend Connie and her family disappear in the middle of the night and no one will talk about it. Then the richest and most powerful families start arriving, only... they aren’t leaving. Unknown to the employees, the resort has been selling shares in an end-of-the-world oasis. The best of the best at the end of days. And in order to deliver the top-notch customer service the wealthy clientele paid for, the employees will be at their total beck and call. Whether they like it or not. Yet Karloff Country didn’t count on Jay and his crew--and just how far they’ll go to find out the truth and save themselves. But what’s more dangerous: the monster you know in your home or the unknown nightmare outside the walls?

0This was a really interesting premise, and I read through the first 30-40% fast. It’s relevant with the billionaire class gaining more control & more control- I loved that it explored class & race through a corporate Disney-like park essentially. It fell off for me a bit plot wise though, and I wasn’t a big fan of the multiple POVs. By the last 80%, I was starting to check out. Check the content warnings, this was significantly more violent than I was expecting for YA (which is fine, but it may be more than you’d initially expect).
