I received an eARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the change in pace from the old Ellingham murders/disappearances to the more recent slasher mystery in this book. There seemed to be more action in this book than the first three books and I really enjoyed that. I liked getting more time with Nate in this book, too! I didn't love Stevie and David in this book, however, and that's what brought down my rating. I'm just not really into Stevie's voice anymore, and David seemed more annoying than anything. It also felt like we weren't given a ton of clues to work with to figure everything out, which is always part of the fun when it comes to mysteries. Instead, Stevie solved it in her head in the background and, while the resolution was interesting, it wasn't very fun. This was a good book but not one that really grabbed me.
