"Good short thriller for spooky season. There were moments when I actually got chills from the creepiness. And there were funny moments for those who need comic relief."

"This was a great book! Slow start but sets up the book. The gore had me in a chokehold, the killer shocked me, how the group caught the killer made me proud. An easy read, brilliant! 3/5 ⭐️ "

"The storyline sounded good, but was poorly executed. The characters were supposed to be seniors but seemed childish. It was also very predictable. Was ok for a quick read."

"<i>could do with a better title…</i><br/><br/>i was actually pleasantly surprised that this was actually sort of a story since i haphazardly picked it up from five below.<br/><br/>the characters are underbaked and underdeveloped. i felt little to no connections to the characters. <i>but that’s not really something i am worried about.</i><br/><br/>ass. this was pretty bad.<br/><br/>lia kept walking into situations where she would be the suspect. AND SHE CONTINUED TO DO SO. <i>i’m not sensing one ounce of common sense.</i><br/><br/>why wouldn’t you cancel or ban the game if literal classmates are getting MURDERED? <i>it’s not that deep.</i><br/><br/><b>bottom line:</b> the execution was sloppy. the pacing was wack. i dislike all of the characters. needed more time in the oven."
