I haven't read too many thrillers based on real life events so I was really curious about this one. It's based on the Slender Man stabbing, where two 12 year old girls were arrested for stabbing another girl 19 times as a tribute to the internet meme "The Slender Man". I'm not super into gory/horror type books but this one was definitely more psychological thriller then horror genre.

The good: Fast paced, short chapters, twists and turns, and a creepy element (the character finds out she is being stalked) that has you always looking over your shoulder and questioning if someone is following you too!

The bad: A bit gory for my liking- this one is definitely on the dark and disturbing side! Also, I was a BIT underwhelmed by the ending- I was left feeling sort of like "OH! It's over?"

Overall, 3.5 stars.
