    There’s some really beautiful prose in here which I enjoyed, and I loved the dread that it evoked. If you’re expecting a traditional horror haunted house story with a clear plot- this will probably disappoint you. A lot of intense themes are explored, including mental illness, racism, and abuse. It’s done in fragmented, stream of consciousness way though since the MC, Ezri, experiences dissociation. I also liked that there were autistic characters included. I’m not sure if I loved the ending. I can see why it was done, given Ezri’s past and the themes, but I sometimes prefer for things to remain ambiguous in this type of genre. I still enjoyed the writing though and appreciated themes explored. It was a unique take.

    DNF- 20%

    I said to myself that if I had to read “that made me very horny,” one more time, I was going to DNF & here am I. I might give this another go later on, but I’m really tired of this repetition already

    I really enjoyed this premise & setting! While it was creative, the pacing was slow at the start, and then the plot became convoluted once it did pick up more. I felt like I had no information on character’s backgrounds, so it was confusing being thrown into a conflict between the girls. It also felt like we were thrown into the middle of a storyline. By the end, I was kind of tired of it. There were a lot of pieces and moving parts to this plot that never fully came together for me. I was hoping for more of a slasher, but that’s not really how it went. That said, I enjoyed elements of it, like the gore/horror and the creativity with the plot twists. I also thought Temple was an interesting character, and I loved that the setting was a queer horror camp for black teens.

    This was fun! Loved the playlist of songs in it, and I also liked the premise of dying malls & capitalism as a backdrop for a slasher. I wish it was longer tho with some more slashing & a build up to the plot twists. Overall tho, this was a fun & short summerween read

    There’s a lot of moving pieces to this, and the plot started off really slow, so it’s been difficult getting into this tbh. It’s picking up now tho so I think I’m going to stick it out.

    I really enjoyed this! I loved the setting & overall atmosphere. The writing is beautiful too. I liked the depiction of autistic masking & I thought Silas was an interesting character. I did get nervous that the autistic representation was going to have some ignorance involved. I often see lower support needs ppl wrongfully assuming that non-speaking autistic ppl or higher support needs ppl don’t mask bc they weren’t abused. That’s not true & it’s harmful. There was a scene where Silas had that line of thinking, but he did end up questioning his belief somewhat. I’m a sucker for an atmosphere tho & this really did it for me. I loved the ending too… hell yeah

    I think I spoke too soon. I loved the first 40-50% of this, but then it went off on a completely different path than what I was expecting. It started out slow, but I felt like it was laying out a great premise. Unfortunately, it fell flat after that & never really picked up. It was still entertaining though, and I probably will read the third one
