Fright Night

Krystal Campbell 

When a group of friends spends the night in a forest, they're confronted with their greatest fears. One of the friends won't survive the night. And one of them is a killer. . . .

This was a quick read once I finally put my head down and read it. I feel like this book had real promise if it delved more into the actual theme of the Fright Night and added more onto the storyline that they did.

The concept was so good for me. The idea of being in the woods with no cell phone service and people waiting to scare you? Mortifying. I went into this hoping to be on the edge of my seat and waiting for the most terrifying thing to happen next and I was left quite disappointed because I would’ve liked for this to have been scary rather than disturbing.

The overall storyline of Dylan and his trauma was written quite well and definitely what stood out to me. I just would’ve loved more detail with it.

Overall, I enjoyed this story and I’m interested to see what else this author has to offer.

A great Quick Pick for Young Adults, I am nominating it for the YALSA list. Awesome cover that demands to be picked up, multiple characters far flung at first then drawn tightly together, disturbing family secrets revealed and tragedy just around the corner, a creepy local haunted woods event that draws strangers together for big scares and revelations. Sophisticated readers will see the twists coming, readers looking for a fun thriller with a dash of romance won't care and will gobble this up.

This really wasn't what I was expecting and was slightly disappointing. Not a lot happened and the twist was meh.
