not what i expected

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I love Jennifer Dugan but this one fell flat for me. It wasn't what I expected. I was hoping for more of a teen slasher with romance. I wanted it to be more about the massacre at the camp but it was more about the trauma after the fact. That was interesting but not what I expected. The book also didn't end the way I had expected it to, which I guess is a good thing because I didn't see it coming. There were moments I enjoyed but a lot that I just didn't feel a connection towards. That being said, I'm still glad I read it. I just wish that it had been more of the horror and less about the aftermath. I do hope that Jennifer Dugan gives the horror genre another try because this one did have some potential and I think with another try she can make it great.
