*3.75* 
 I went into this not really expecting much because, let's be honest here, I didn't think cutesy, Anna-and-the-French-Kiss-writing Stephanie Perkins could pull off a slasher YA book. 
 I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This book is actually gory and bloody and just greatly suspenseful. I enjoyed the characters, the plot kept me intrigued, and I loved how different it was from her other novels. 
 Now, yes, I didn't care for a couple moments, namely Makani's "secret" reveal because I didn't think it warranted the amount of buildup it got. I felt the ending was a tad rushed aka it just sort of stopped. Also, a part near 2/3 of the way through with the killer was slightly disappointing (message me if you know what I'm talking about!). 
 Despite that, this book will be great to read on a spooky, autumn night near Halloween for sure!
