I received this as an ARC for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. This book was absolutely MAGNIFICENT!! It had a slow burn at first and then quickly picked up. The ending was everything I needed!! I would love to read more books from this author! I can't wait to recommend this book to my other friends! Absolutely thrilling and jaw dropping!
Take one installment of Fear Street by R.L. Stine, sprinkle in a little Jason-vibe from Friday the 13th (after removing any graphic bits), mix in a bunch of ‘60s and ‘70s nostalgia, then let the plot simmer for 285 pages. This delightful recipe gives us THE JOKER'S REVENGE, and it’s one heckuva twisty, turny, and titillating summer reading escape.
The vibes of this book was definitely new to me. I mostly read fantasy and regency so coming across this eerie book was puzzling at first because I didn't know what to expect. I'm GLAD to say that I really enjoyed it! It was REFRESHING, atmospheric, and I finished it within a few hours. The mystery/spooky element added to the story for sure. I liked the added romance element too! Highly recommend.
This is an entertaining and well written book, that delves into the experience of the main character, Darci, from her trip to a summer camp in Maine in the 1970's. It neatly intertwines themes of romance, comedy and mystery to produce a pacy storyline and some shocks and surprises.
A book I couldn't put down once I started reading it. Very captivating book with many twists and turns. Highly recommended.
