“It’s not easy, being a terrible person.”
Proofrock, Idaho is not the place you want to be! Jade (who prefers to be called Jennifer) has returned to her hometown after 4 years away. Coming home can be easy, it can also be a nightmare! Jade/Jennifer unfortunately was released on the same day that convicted Serial Killer, Dark Mill South escapes from prison. You know things are about to get dicey.
It begins on December 12th, 2019; it will end on Friday the 13th. Like the first book in the series My Heart Is a Chainsaw, this book is a love letter to slasher flicks. I love a good slasher flick especially slasher flicks from the ’80’s. It was fun reading both books and getting excited because this scene was from that movie, etc.
I will state that I think readers should read the first book in the series before reading this one. Things will make more sense, IMO.
This book does not wait until the end before the bodies begin to drop. Jade is a final girl with a deep knowledge of slasher/horror flicks. Will her knowledge be enough to save the townspeople? Will it be enough to save her?
I view this book as the middleman to the last book in the series. This one was solid, and I enjoyed the action. I look forward to where Stephen Graham Jones takes me in the third book in the series which I will be looking out for and happily reading.
Thank you to Gallery Books, Gallery / Saga Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
