Blurb

In this YA slasher, a horror-obsessed girl joins a group of wealthy teens for a wild weekend in a remote house, only to discover that the local murder rumours may be far more real – and far closer – than she imagined.
She loved scary movies… until she had the starring role.
A spree of murders is haunting Cork city, leaving behind stories of ghost parties and dismembered janitors, of dead diner owners and folkloric entities.
Die-hard horror buff April ignores it all for one perfect weekend of debauchery with Carl and his group of rich, hot and dangerously irresistible friends.
Together, they head to the West Cork countryside for an unforgettable trip before college begins. But in a remote mountainside house with views to die for, the dream party turns into a nightmare. Because some stories don’t stay stories. And someone, or something, inside the house wants more than fear. They want blood.

My Review Boy oh boy where to start, first off its incredible!! I was hooked from page one, I did get a tad confused at first as the characters and chapters did jump around at first. But once you settle in, it makes sense. The twist is never saw coming at all, it was the plot that would make this into an instant movie hit!! Erica sounds absolutely unhinged and terrifying, who would want her as a friend. A perfect read to get you in the mood of spooky season. You definitely root for the final girl while secretly hoping they could possibly do a sequel….
