Slashtag by Jon Cohn

5.0

This was such a fun slasher! It's got an escape room mystery, a killer ghost, a cult, a spooky hotel, and a celebrity reality tv show/livestream.

I found Slashtag to be fast-paced, it had plenty of twists and turns that made the book really hard to put down.

I enjoyed how atmospheric the story was, at times, I felt like I was wandering around the hotel with the influencers.

I was also pleasantly surprised at how likable the influencers were, I was expecting them to be sort of stuck up and tone-deaf, but I really wanted to see them succeed.

The world building is incredibly immersive; it's told in multiple POVs, email exchanges, and celebrity news articles. There's a cool Easter egg with a website where you can read contestant bios and the history of the hotel. Plus, it has an insider podcast, which you can listen to exclusive interviews.

Highly recommend checking this one out if you love a good slasher story! And a big thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the gifted copy!
