4.5
Content Warnings: sexual content, sexual violence, stalking, blood, gore, murder, CPTSD, grief, trauma, and anxiety.
I have been waiting to read this book and AJ did not disappoint. 💜
I love how AJ described Bailey's sensory issues. There are so many people, myself included, that have sensory issues but I've never seen good representation of it in books. Sensory issues isn't just about touch...it includes all your senses and different things affect different people.
Vibes/Tropes:
🎃Small Halloween obsessed town
🎃"Gingersnap before the bite" [Bailey gives off these vibes]
🎃Scream 1 vibes
🎃"Touch/hurt her and die"
🎃"You've always been mine"
🎃She falls first but he falls harder
🎃Fear is part of the foreplay
and so much more 🥰
Honestly, I don't want to say to much and give out any spoilers...but trust me you'll want to read this book.
Okay, so when you watched Scream 1 and found out who the killers were...did you ever secretly wish that Sidney had hooked up with Billy AND Stu? Cause this book is giving those vibes and I LOVE IT.
