Clown in a Cornfield

I surprisingly loved this book. I'll tell you why surprisingly.

I surprisingly loved this book because at around the 120ish page mark, I was already thinking of giving it a 3 star. It was interesting, but didn't really capture my attention. I was especially thinking of giving this book a 2 star when the killings started happening because I found things to be easily predictable.

BUT THEN

I read on and well, I was wrong. I was mistaken and glad I was. Yes, I did predict many of the things, but the things that I did not predict made up for what I did and made it worth while. Plus, the things I was right about and guessed correctly, weren't that big in the grand scheme of things. Even though I predicted some parts, I still found myself enjoying the story.

I was truly invested in this story. I felt the anxiety, the fear, the adrenaline rush. When characters died, I didn't just gloss over their death, I really felt for them. While reading, in my mind I felt like I was watching Scream or any other slasher film. That's how I envisioned it and it was great.
