Welcome to Litsy!

Y‘all, it‘s not good. There are concepts that could have been good...if they were fully developed and focused into two different books. It‘s hard to tell if this book is supposed to be YA horror or a commentary on racism. But either way, neither storyline was fully developed. Don‘t take the racism storyline and use it as a means to an end for your other poorly, partially developed horror storyline. Skip this one.

Good!

Ugh, this completely missed the mark with me. Not poorly written, but I think I was expecting something more in the vein of Prom Night/Carrie. Not even the Charles Manson quotes could make this spooky enough for me. Needed more commune and less prep school. Hats off to the author though for tacking issues of racism and civil rights in a YA horror novel.

Oh geez, my first pan on @Litsy! What a huge disappointment. I would have bailed, but I knew my girl, @Lizzyg4 , needed my commiseration. So much opportunity in this book and it was so wasted.

I got a book care package from my friend in Colorado!! ❤ It's all so needed! Can't wait to check out her recommendation too!
