TW: blood & gore, torture & explicit description of death/dying.
Murder at a PNW prestigious performing arts school is full of DRAMA! I love the mystery/suspense and it kept me guessing who was behind the murders to the very end of the book, and even then I was checking behind me as I was reading the book.
Hutson writes the story as if you want to look away from the horror, but also are captivated by the murders and themselves. Superstition plays a keen part in the plot while everyone is just trying to get there five minutes of that stage fame. It was high school horror at its finest...totally giving off similar vibes to Neve Campbell & Scream.
