Haunted Carnivals & Long Tongues
I enjoyed Tastes Like Candy immensely. The plot takes a little to start off, but whew, once it does??! Unmatched. I loved the atmosphere, the brutality of the killings, and even the crazed motive. However, it did frustrate me as the killer was an unhinged narcissist. One of my new favorite slasher!

90s Slashers & Time Travel
How to Survive Your Murder has become one of my top favorite slasher novels yet! I ADORE the homage to 90s slashers!! Riddled with references and easter eggs, the plot leaves you at the edge of your seat with anticipation as Valentine feeds you scraps before the delicious main course.

Haunted Camps & Strangers in the Woods
You’re Not Supposed To Die Tonight took a turn I wasn’t expecting… In a good way! I loved the haunted camp attraction idea! This aspect, accompanied by all the horror references, left my spooky-loving heart so happy! Overall, I recommend this book if you love slashers, supernatural twists, and dumb teens!

Summer Camp and Floating Townies
Welcome to Camp Alpine Lake, a summer camp for teenage wealth… The Counselors was a fun, engaging murder mystery that was filled with mischief, twists, drama, and that campy, small-town feel I love in mysteries! Definitely one of my new favorite mystery reads! Definitely a must read for those wanting nostalgia.

Creepy Dolls & Arson
Little Creeping Things was an okay listen. It was quick, entertaining, and somewhat suspenseful. This was the second book I’ve read where an older brother went full Norman Bates and killed others for his baby sister and expected gratitude. One too many, if you ask me. 8/10 Worth the read.

Demons & Weird S3x
In The Haunted, I didn’t connect with any of the characters. The scary aspects were pretty good and the house’s history was specularly creepy. I did enjoyed the plot and the build-up, but I was greatly disappointed with the ending. I felt it to be lackluster after a huge buildup.

Mean-ager vs. Employees
Honestly, I was disappointed. I loved the concept of the plot but felt that the potential it had was completely ignored. We know who the killer is right off the bat, which I’m not a fan of. It doesn’t leave much room for suspense so that banked on their escape.
