The perfect final girl
This book had me on the edge of my seat! Sodergren always brings the terror. This was a great final girl read.

Really had no idea what to expect from this book! I read a few pages and couldn’t tell if this was going to just be some awful child SA fantasy filled story. Thankfully, the story quickly gains more depth.
It’s fast-paced, stabby, quick. I got halfway through and had to leave for dinner, almost cancelled my plans so I could keep reading. Came back and finished it the same night.
It’s gory but the gore isn’t over the top or there just for shock value, there is one scene in particular that made me feel awful and had a hard time shaking the visuals of that from my head.
The last bit felt like it was a weird mix of Hard Candy and Home Alone.
A super fun read.

Another brilliant read from Sodergren. It’s short and lighthearted which makes sense as he wrote it following Dead girl blues which was INTENSE.
Fun, violent, gory.. what more could you want?
If anything I would have liked it to be longer!

Teen banter while being kidnapped, Sodergren just does it. From breezy crime to extreme violence it goes, never losing its wicked sense of humour. Funny and uncomfortable, bold and tense, cute and gruesome. Reminiscent of certain bad, but oh so good B-movies. With a few hard to forget scenes. Be the pug, people. Be the pug. Cheers, Katy!

This was just a bloody fun time. The pacing was great and I'm obsessed with the main character. I've always loved revenge stories and this had that in aces. More 'Home Alone" type horror books, please!

I’m consuming these Sodergren books like popcorn! I can’t get enough! I was really weary to start this one - knowing only that this was a story of the kidnapping of Katy, a 16 year old daughter of a very wealthy movie producer. Anything with kids is a big no for me, but after reading a few reviews, I took a chance. I’m glad I did, because this was all feminine rage bad-assery. I appreciate how Sodergren writes women. He does a great job of balancing emotion & wit with pure resilience. Super fun read - 5/5!
