this was exactly what I wanted it to be: an easy. quick, fun romp of a YA horror. the premise isn't necessarily my usual fare, but it's been a long time since I read YA horror and something about it caught my eye. I would have liked a little more character development, and some of the writing felt choppy, but the forum posts and betting sheets were really fun touches

So far, so weird. Idk maybe it’s cause I’m not big on reality tv or maybe it’s cause it feels too reliant on incorporating both reality tv and social media together, but this is an odd set up. It feels…really hard to follow or believe? Which is weird cause I already know it’s fiction. I stopped when I got to the part where it talks about cameras in the bathroom. Like huh?? People mention graphic descriptions of murder but stuff like that is just strange. I can’t believe there are two more books in this series.

I wasn't sure how to feel about the book when I was first getting into it, but the more I read it, the more I came to like it. For me, it's a big plus that it's written in 3rd person as well since nowadays it feels like I run into too many 1st person books. Anyhow, I think the fast paced story really suits the plot and I came to enjoy a lot of the characters introduced throughout the book, and that made it all the harder when some didn't make it to the end. The twist wasn't too surprising, and it really felt like the ending was written as if it were a movie, but it wasn't awful. Might have to check the sequel out!

I loved this book, I quickly learned that I could not listen to it with children in the room. It had a slow start but after maybe the first 5 or so chapters it picked up. Definitely going to read the second book.
