This was an interesting read. Like the author, I love basketball. I played it as a kid, though in high school I focused on soccer. I grew up going to University of Memphis basketball games (Memphis State at the time!); my parents have stories of me being a baby and being passed up and down the row with other season ticket holders. March madness is my favorite time of year.

Lauranahe Also, horror is my favorite genre. My mom has a little journal she kept for a hot second when I was young, and when I was 5, she has recorded that my favorite movie was Critters. I‘ve always loved horror. (Cont…) 59m
Lauranahe So when Josh Malerman wrote in the author‘s note at the end that this book is a love letter to basketball and horror…I get it. I GOT the girls in the book. The anxiety. The camaraderie. The fear. The love of the game, and of ghost stories. And the fear of the ghosts stories, and the truths of the rim. 59m

I‘m a baby when it comes to scary stories so I almost didn‘t read this one. But I LOVE Kalynn Bayron, and I‘m so glad I finally picked this one up, it had my heart racing but was soooo good

This was fun! It put us right back in the world of Frendo, about a year after the events of the first book. It‘s a quick read, with lots of action, and a couple fun twists.

Got to be honest, this wasn't what I expected and I don't know how I feel about that

Good third installment in this trilogy. The narration is very well done. I have enjoyed this series immensely.

I thought this was going to be a thriller, turns out it was a YA slasher horror. So not what I was in the mood for. Didn't love it didn't hate it. Definitely could have been better.

Unpopular opinion. I wanted to like this book. I was so excited to read it when I received it in my #Staycation package but definitely it didn‘t work for me😬So repetitive, how many times he said was a slasher? That he shouldn‘t go to that party? and if you forget, it happened in 1989, this was mentioned over and over. So many unnecessary details🙄 rambling story🤦🏽‍♀️I almost DNF. I should sympathize with the character? I was bored 2⭐️

This one started out rough. I was a little confused on what was actually happening, but once it clicked for me and the slasher pattern came through I really started to enjoy it. I love slasher stories and it was really interesting to see it from the “monsters” POV. The writing is quite florid and can be hard to follow but overall the story was unique and entertaining! #hauntedshelf #skeletoncrew

ChaoticMissAdventures I felt the same about this. I was hoping it was because I read the ARC, but it doesn't sound like things got flushed out during publishing. 4mo

This final book in the Indian Lake trilogy finds Jade Daniels back in Prufrock, Idaho, the scene of multiple massacres. Now a history teacher, Jade has barely a moment of peace before violence begins to bubble up around her. More witness than participant, Jade tries to sit this one out if only the world would let her, while still churning out horror movie references to make sense of the unfolding nightmare. A bloody resolution to a gripping series
