I really loved this so much. The thrill and horror of it made the story intriguing and gripping. There's mystery as well, which may have been a touch predictable, but not every little part of it was. I really enjoyed the way the queer rep was shown in this story. We have Charity as our main protagonist who has a girlfriend, but it's not the main focus of the story. It's just queer people existing, and I loved seeing that for once. This type of horror felt like a callback to 80s and 90s teen horror movies, like Scream, but with more queer rep. So, if you like nostalgia, then this is perfect for you. I really enjoyed this one, and the ending was oh so satisfying. It's definitely worth the read.
