And when one ends up dead, Charity’s role as the final girl suddenly becomes all too real. If Charity and her girlfriend Bezi hope to survive the night, they’ll need figure out what this killer is after. Is there is more to the story of Mirror Lake and its dangerous past than Charity ever suspected?
The reason why I read this book is because I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book and I have already read 2 books by the author which I had really liked. But after trying to read this book I gotta admit that this book was very painfully cringey to read and I just needed to DNF this book or I would never pick up any other book if I had completed this book.
The plot of this book is very slow and I just couldn’t find anything in the plot which would interested me enough to keep reading. The first 50 or so pages of this book is just scenes skipping between each other and the councilors talking about the final slasher simulation of the summer. Which really made me bored and uninterested because the plot in the first half was just the councilors walking around the property, talking and checking on props they were using in their simulation.
The plot would also gives us the glimpses of the woke political views, like police not carrying about black people and only being concerned about the safety of white people. Which really was the final straw for me to make my mind about DNF-ing this book. Because I personally hate it when authors use their fictional books to shove their political views down the readers throats. Im completely fine with the authors having their own political views but if the author is writing a fictional book then they shouldn’t fill the book with their real life political views.
At the same time the plot in this book is so much cringey and it plays on the slasher movie theme stereotypes. Where the main character constantly says “I cant die since I’m the final girl in the simulation”. Which didn’t help me liking this book and giving this book a good review.
The writing style in this book, honestly felt like it was generated by chatGPT or some other AI chat. Because the entire writing style in this book was like “this happened, then this happened, then that happened, and lastly this happened” which made it seem to me like it was written by AI or the author just didn’t bother with this book and she just needed a quick paycheck.
The characters in this book were very annoying and shallow. The main character in this book would constantly say “I’m black and I’m gay” which made me annoyed and frustrated because like I get it that the main character is black and gay but the author doesn’t have to rub it in and remind me of it every 2 pages or so. It was almost like the main character’s whole personality was that she was black and gay.
All the characters in this book are very shallow and have no personalities to them besides their personalities being all about their looks and their sexuality. Which made me want to buy out every copy of this book and burn them to the ground.
This book gotta be easily my most hated book I have read so far in my life and that saying something looking at the fact of how many books I have read and reviewed on this website.
I Give This Book 1 / 5
