A perfect autumnal read, packed to the gills with slasher-movie references. Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this before publication.
Charley has been offered a fresh start. She doesn’t like being the new girl in the remote school for girls that she has been sent to. While her roommate, Olive, shares her fondness for horror movies there’s not much else about the school that she likes. However, it’s an opportunity for her to be remembered for something other than the events that led to her being asked to attend the school.
It doesn’t take long before we start to learn something is very wrong. A student is found dead, and it’s labelled a suicide, but when Charley starts seeing her body it’s evident that something is not quite right. Then more students turn up dead and Charley is haunted by their spirits. It’s down to Charley and Olive to use their shared love of horror movies to help them work out what’s going on.
Our big question is, will they survive?
Hard to put down. With plenty of wry humour this is a book I’d recommend, though the ending felt a little less plausible than it might have.
