Many thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books/Saga Press for gifting me a copy of Stephen Graham Jones' latest novel - 4 stars!
Jade is an outcast in the small Idaho town of Proofrock, obsessed with slasher movies as an escape from her home life. When a wealthy group of investors decides to build mansions on the other side of Indian Lake, Jade recognizes the "final girl" in newcomer, Letha, and predicts a coming massacre. However, no one believes her and she even starts questioning herself, until bodies start showing up.
This is a tough book to review - it's wonderfully written and the longer I have stepped away from reading it, I find myself haunted by Jade's story. I adored some of these characters (Mr. Holmes!) and of course, Jade. It was a bit slow for me and not being a slasher movie fan, much of that info went over my head. But the mixing of Native American culture with the horror movie theme to tell Jade's story was spot on.
