Welcome to The Venue! Enjoy your wedding in luxurious surroundings whilst we take care of every last detail. Invite your estranged family & frenemies - it'll be a wedding to die for!

When Amy receives an invitation to childhood friend, Caleb Hunt's wedding in an exclusive resort, her first thought is to wonder why he has invited her & her parents. They haven't been close ever since they left school. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf They haven't been close ever since they left school. They decide to go anyway & at first the resort is everything they could have dreamed. It seems strange that the guestlist is full of people who aren't exactly Caleb's closest friends & relatives but it all becomes clear when the bride & groom announce that everyone is locked in & you can only leave if you kill another guest first! 3w
OutsmartYourShelf This was a fun read in a sick, twisted kind of way. Caleb & his bride Lilith decide to wreak revenge on those they believe have wronged them. Is it over-the-top campy horror? Yes & I'm there for it. Note that this book has a high kill number so please check out the TWs before reading.

TWs: strong language, suicidal thoughts, drug use, violence, murder, blood, gore.

A delightfully dark horror with some humor. If you liked the horror movies Ready or Not and The Menu, this is definitely for you. 4.5⭐️

CogsOfEncouragement I love Ready or Not! Thanks for the reminder about The Menu. I forgot about that one but had heard good things. 1mo
Nessavamusic @CogsOfEncouragement The Menu is great-highly recommend! 1mo

Book 1 of #Screamthon - Amy, her plus-one, and her parents are invited to her middle grade best friend‘s wedding out of the blue. It‘s an all-expenses paid trip to Europe that no one can resist.
This has been compared to Battle Royale and Ready or Not. RoN is because it‘s set at a wedding. BR is fair, although I thought it had more similarities to The Belko Experiment. I liked it and read it in a little over a day.

Bookzombie This is box 20 for #Bookspinbingo I will get a card made at some point. 🎃 3y
Reggie I just finished this series on Netflix called Squid Game and it‘s basically Battle Royale for the indebted with a heavy theme of what Capitalism does. Anyways if you haven‘t seen it you might like it. Your nice review made me think of it. 3y
alisiakae Great review! 🖤🧡 @Reggie Squid Games is SO popular right now! Teens love it and I hear so many moms complain about the show. I‘m like, move over kid, I want to watch too 😂 3y
Bookzombie @Reggie @4thhouseontheleft Thank you! I hadn‘t really paid attention to what Squid Game was about, but I will definitely have to check it out. 3y
