17yo Charity helps run a summer camp where a classic slasher movie was filmed; now, the camp helps reenact the horror of the movie for guests. However, what starts as a fun summer quickly turns into a nightmare when Charity and her coworkers realize someone really is out there who wants them dead. As Charity and her girlfriend fight to survive, they must face the history of the camp and the horrors that have been waiting for years.
This has all the elements of a classic slasher film. I loved that Charity recognized all the cliches of horror and wouldn't allow that to happen to her. Readers will love the fast pace of the story as it picks up and the plot twists, but it is incredibly violent so be warned if that's not for you. Charity is black, and her girlfriend Bezi is alluded to being Black as well.
