Camp 1985 by Matthew R. Corr
5.0
Ander, a teenage social media influencer, is invited to the opening week of Camp 1985. What he and the other teenage influencers don't realise is that this camp is taking them back to the 80s in order to break their addiction to their phones. No phones are allowed in camp, and everything there has been taken straight out of the 80s, including a roller rink and a retro arcade. However, what none of them know is that the camp had existed before. Only it wasn't the fun place it was made out to be. People were tortured and killed before it was shut down for good. And now, someone is hunting the new camp members down one by one.
Yes, yes, YES! Anyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute sucker for horrors that take place at summer camp, I'm obsessed with slashers, and I love the whole 80s nostalgia vibe. So accepting this ARC was a no-brainer. I loved everything about this one. The nostalgia, the gory deaths, and the origin of the camp all hit that sweet spot, giving me the warm and fuzzies. There was a paranormal element to this one, which, as you'll know, I'm not usually fond of, but it complimented this story so well and added an air or mystery. It took me just over 2 hours to read this one because I just couldn't put it down. This is the first book in the series, and I absolutely can not wait for book 2 to be released.
If you're a slasher fan, definitely check this one out.
