🕊️ ➞ Synopsis:

At Camp Mirror Lake, terror is the name of the game . . . but can you survive the night?

This heart-pounding slasher by New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron is perfect for fans of Fear Street.

Charity Curtis has the summer job of her dreams, playing the “final girl” at Camp Mirror Lake. Guests pay to be scared in this full-contact terror game, as Charity and her summer crew recreate scenes from a classic slasher film, Curse of Camp Mirror Lake. The more realistic the fear, the better for business.

But the last weekend of the season, Charity’s co-workers begin disappearing. And when one ends up dead, Charity’s role as the final girl suddenly becomes all too real. If Charity and her girlfriend Bezi hope to survive the night, they’ll need to figure out what this killer is after. Is there more to the story of Mirror Lake and its dangerous past than Charity ever suspected?



🕊️ ➞ My Thoughts:

You’re Not Supposed To Die Tonight took a turn I wasn’t expecting… In a good way! The plot twist of a secret society sacrificing kids was an interesting take; I was expecting more of a deformed monster in the woods or a local legend come-to-life type of villain. And the twist involving her stepfather?! JESUS! My heart was breaking for Charity when she put the pieces together! As far as the setting went, I loved the haunted camp attraction idea! This aspect accompanied by all the horror references left my spooky loving heart so happy!

Overall, I would recommend this book if you love slashers, supernatural twists, and dumb teens! 🤣 If you’ve read this quick read, leave a comment with your thoughts! I look forward to hearing from you!
