Red Snow & Headless Bodies
Darcy Coates’s Dead of Winter was the perfect winter slasher! The story followed a group of hikers after a storm left them stranded in a nearby cabin. Things take a deadly turn after they find their tour guide brutally slain and decapitated the next morning. I ate this book up!

Witch Masks & Gory Summers
Two Sides To Every Murder was a five-star read for me, and I will never stop recommending it along with How To Survive Your Murder! I loved the vibe, the characters, the twists and turns, and loved the ending! The epilogue closed up loose ends while opening the door to a sequel. Such a divine…

A Summer Rental & A Bloody Revenge
Summer Rental was a summertime slasher set in Palm Key, Florida, where six teens go out to the beach for one last hoorah. A hurricane had other plans for their weekend, and they became trapped inside with a stalker lurking around.

Blood & Karma
Perfect Little Monsters is an ode to every bully victim who just wants to snap. Perfect amount of build-up, gore, and just the right amount of monsters.

Mommy Issues & Peer Pressure
Tastes Like Candy 2: Sugarless was an amusing and intriguing read… I found the split parts incredibly interesting. I especially enjoyed the way Tholen showed Dusty’s, our MC of part 1, descent into a full-blown psychopath, as well as the way an outside influence can play a role in that fall.

Karma & A Killer Mascot
Out of all the slashers I’ve read, Most Likely To Die was one of the ones with the highest body count. This killer slashed his way through THIRTEEN people. Absolutely savage. Most Likely To Die was a gory, thrilling, and glorious ride. I loved the surprise ending and that the bullies got their punishments.

Spooky Parties & Deadly Clowns
There’s No Way I’d Die First was underrated; I happened to love this plot, the kill scenes, the ending, and all the references! I loved the shitty people who got slaughtered, and I loved the main character and her thought process through all this horror. 10/10 would recommend to slasher lovers!

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!
