"A gloriously glossy solid slasher with more unexpected twists than a roller coaster . . . Fans of ʼ90s horror flicks (like me) are going to lap this up."--John Marrs, USA Today bestselling author of The Family Experiment

"Miranda Smith takes full command of horror tropes and the 'final girl' archetype to tell a story worthy of the big screen. Grab some popcorn and settle in for the isolation thriller of your horror-loving heart."--Tessa Wegert, author of Death in the Family

"The ideal read for anyone nostalgic for the self-aware camp of ʼ90s slasher films or fans of page-turning psychological thrillers with twists you'll never see coming."--Kristen L. Berry, author of We Don't Talk About Carol

"Utterly addictive . . . This campy, riveting, and bingeworthy novel puts a fresh, bold take on the genre . . . A delicious must-read for summer!"--May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives
